I feel we should give reparations to Black Americans though and possibly Japanese Americans who were enslaved here in the 1940’s – but am sure that’s another fight here on the OT
no one in my family ever own a slave tho. so okay fine, as long as none of my tax dollars go toward it, then give all the reparations you want. just make sure it’s coming out of the paycheck of those with a familial history of owning slaves. there can be a little box to check off on your income tax form that says “History of Owning Slaves” and you check it off if it applies to you.
and please please dont hate me for saying this, but japanese people are hardly in need of money and are they not the most highly educated group in america to begin with!? but im not sure what kind of reparations you are talking about when it comes to that.
