Descendant's of Slaves

#66

1.  How do we determine if a black person today is a direct descendant of a slave vs. a slave owner?

2.  What about people that immigrated to the U.S. after say 1863?  Should their descendants have to pay?

3.  What about those of us that are descendants of people that never owned slaves?  In my case my family were indigenous (Mexican Heritage born and raised in the southwest).

4.  What about the non-black people who were slaves?

I think all of those are moot if one, anyone, were to look in the mirror and ask themselves seriously why we should be paying people today for what their great, great, great grandparents endured. Paying reparations to the families of direct descendants of people who died during the Civil Rights movements, yes, but paying reparations to individuals who can barely trace their heritage back to the crime itself doesn't make sense. If my great, great, great grandfather killed your great, great grandfather in the 1880s, would you reasonably expect me to pay you for your loss today?
