I think the best way to do reparations, is to figure out what it takes to eliminate the inequality gap black Americans suffer from. And it is going to take a lot of money and social change.

Well you better worry about native americans first.They were systematicly exterminated had there homes and land confiscated stuck on useless shit land in reservations . Oppressed? Bettr take a lesson from the real oppressed.

It would not be difficult to find charities which assist formerly disadvantaged groups.
Contribute to them and do your own private "reparations".

If the 40 acres of land per slave family had been allocated according to General Sherman’s Field Order #15 back in 1865, it would’ve cost the country considerably less than it would now. But unfortunately, as often happened, the country reneged. Today, it’s been estimated that the payout would be 12-13 [b]trillion[/b] dollars. I’m pretty sure all kinds of people would balk at that.

Personally, I think a free opportunity to attend college or trade schools for every descendant of slaves who wants or needs that would go a long way towards providing more chances to succeed. Education helped a lot of black families out of poverty. And it would address the fact that Jim Crow not only restricted where African Americans could attend school, but during slavery it was actually [b]illegal[/b] to educate slaves at all (whites who did risked their own freedom).

It would also be considerably easier to manage and have longer lasting affects than simply cutting a cheque.

Yeah, but how do you really feel about it?

Tldr.
