Facts. Those slave traders shouldn't have taken them off the coast of Africa in the first place.

The whole world will learn not to take what doesn't belong to them. When you enslave a people there will be a heavy penalty and price to pay that you will not be able to run from

And who sold the slaves off the coast of Africa (hint it wasn't white people).

So you want to punish an entire world for the sins of its fathers. Because you can't just magic $15-20 Trillion out of thin air to give to a disaffected group.

Not to mention the potential social ramifications. You run the risk of creating entitled people who think they deserve more and more even though they've been paid.

You're punishing an entire world, at best just an entire race (white), for the actions of a few of their fathers.

I get why you want reparations. I understand the appeal. But it isn't a magic cure all. Any amount of money that would be would cripple the world economy and guess what that would lead to. Racism against descendants of slaves, but more generally black people.

You're playing with fire and if you're not careful you're gonna burn the whole world
