This subject is still making waves in the U.S.! This is not about social justice, it is about making oodles of money from taxpayers! This is about buying votes etc.
The Canadian government already does similar things by agreeing to law suit settlements with lavish payouts.
History is full of injustices of all kinds committed by many! It is impossible to pay reparations for most of them. Where do you begin and when do you stop. However, ideologues and demagogues are eager to pick a convenient injustice and turn it into a spigot of beaucoup money!
Just a thought: Why don't we ask Africans to pay for the capture and selling of other Africans to European and Muslim slave traders as was very common?
"Making the case for reparations after 250 years of slavery and a century of Jim Crow is not as easy as it sounds. ... the near impossible task to face our moral debts at the national level even though many local governments are already doing that. ..."
