U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

Quote:My white ancestry if any is minimal, certainly hasn't been any in the past 200+ years. How can I pay myself money with my own money? Makes no sense.
 

Then you get it.   It makes no sense.  

 

Who is supposed to pay whom and why?   If someone settles on a standard payment amount, and I can find 1/64th of myself was descended from a slave, to I get 1/64th of a share?  Are you sure you have no white ancestry?   Are you sure your black ancestors were all slaves?  Are you sure half of you isn't descended from some Jamaican who came over in 1922?  

 

Do we have to dig up every African slave to get their DNA, and then do a DNA test on everyone in the country?  

 

It's not workable because our DNA is all mixed up at this point.   I saw a news item a few years ago, and there were some black people and some white people at Monticello, and the white people had discovered they were descended from a slave on the Jefferson plantation, and the black people had discovered they were descended from Jefferson himself!   So in that case, do the black people owe money to the white people?
