kayoshin First off, we are focusing on the US, not other nations. What other nations decide to do is purely up to them.
Second, reparations are paid for genocides. Look it up.
Third, if your great grandpa didn't want funny looks he shouldn't have insisted on wearing his wives frock to the pub lol
Fourth, people get money they haven't earned and don't need all the time. Similarly those who do earn it or need it can sometimes get gypped. This is what happened to African Americans for most of the US's history.
Fifth, I don't see how giving people money could raise racism. Do you really get that upset when others are given something and you aren't? Are you that selfish?
Sixth, a price on human freedom? No, this is an estimate of how much the slaves would have earned if they were paid for their work. Their freedom cost much more.
Lastly, and most importantly, everyone in the US would pay taxes and taxes would be used to pay reparations. Meaning it won't just be "white" people who pay. It will be all citizens of America.
