I just can't imagine that it's possible, but sure... study the problem - maybe they can find a sol'n. But how does one distinguish btwn descendants of slaves vs black people that arrived after emancipation? Do decedents of slaves get an equal amount? What if one slave has 10 current decedents while another has 200?

Systemic reforms may be the only option.

otoh, there must surely be SOME explicit records for some people and some situations. Like Tulsa - that could be a special case. Much is known about who lost what there.

And then the funding... the USA is gonna pay for it and it's weird that black americans' tax dollars will be used for reparations.

There must be 1000s of little problems to overcome in doing this...

Those are all questions I had, too.
I think an instance like Tulsa, would be far easier to do and might be possible.
