I'm a liberal, but the idea of reparations 150+ years later is a non-starter.

Do we need bureaucrats to give self-identified Black Americans the ability to opt out of social services?
And my suggestion was that to help blacks out, reparations should involve legalizing drugs. You don't need to check someones ancestry to pass such a law, since it would impact everyone.
Both of these options will save you a ton of money. Now would support reparations if it looked like this?
