As if we take lectures from nihilists about right and wrong.
They aren't owed anything.
Virtually all Blacks today were born into relative affluence on the world scale, and they weren't born as slaves. There are tens of millions of Whites here who have started with as little or less.
You have to use two columns in your ledger. Debits and credits.
Murders, rapes, and more get accounted for on both sides. When that is taken into account, outside of your fantasy narrative, things can even go badly for Blacks rather than show the path to free money.
Stated otherwise, the gift horse's mouth is open and reparations are a sledgehammer to its teeth.
That’s my view of American history and what is owed. You have yours.
Poor whites should have gotten themselves together by now. They didn’t have the obstacles that blacks did. Plenty of us -myself included- are the first generation born in the U.S. Our families came with nothing, just like poor whites and we have done quite well. Poor whites have no excuse.
$14 trillion divided among (at most) 42 million African-Americans is $357 thousand per head. Sweet. Who wouldn't want that? (Well, apart from those who have to pay for it.) Will everybody get genetically-tested to determine their portion of "blackness"? What about immigrants from Africa? Will it just be descendants of slave-holders who get taxed to pay for this? Does any of the money go to pay for Civil War casualties?
Just no.
Clearly recent immigrants and their children would not be eligible. That’s just common sense.

Poor whites have no excuse? A poor white may be the same age as a poor black.
BET founder Robert Johnson calls for $14 trillion of reparations for blacks
There are about 48M Black people in America.
So 14T would mean $291,666 for every Black person in America - man. woman and child. There would probably be a scramble among Elizabeth Warren types to prove that they, too, are Black. But it wouldn't solve anything.
Great! I think the Far Left Progressive Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Comcast, Disney, Public Sector Unions like SEIU, NEA, AFT and the other Democrat Virtue Signalers should pay it.

Nope. They do not have the history that AAs did in this nation over generations. Doesn’t matter if they were the same age as an AA. Their families could have built the wealth and kept it.

No. You have to take out between 10 and 20 percent of the black population who are recent to this country.
So we should pay African Americans because they burned and looted their own neighborhoods.
The left gets dumber and more ignorant by the day.

And those who have recently immigrated would also not be part of paying into such enumeration, right? My wife did do 20+ years ago, so she would be not taxed to contribute to any funding. My side if the family has been here much longer but we’ve never owned any slaves either. Am I free as well?
