I was watching the BBC news on PBS tonight. They had a guy on talking about Juneteenth, and he said that reparations are the next step that needs to happen.
I have no idea how reparations could be administered.
If all freed people were supposed to get 40 acres and a mule, how do you translate that into today's dollars?
How do you even begin to figure out who those people were and who their descendants are today?
It seems like reparations would be like those class action settlements where the lawyers and admin people get millions and the class gets pennies.
Please school me on what is being proposed, by the people campaigning for reparations, and how it would supposedly be distributed, as I can’t see how this would ever get sorted out by Congress.
