Well if it's retroactive, we should deduct the advantages they've enjoyed via Affirmative Action quotas, acceptance rates, finance, etc.

And once the net reparation is paid, all minority-based benefits would cease, DEI initiatives would end, and merit-based policies returned.

Might be worth a look.

If money are spent this way instead of investing in something meaningful they will simply lose value, so this enjoyment will be short lived.

The irony is you all are already doing this slowly.

What is ending other than affirmative action when getting into college?

It doesn't matter. At no point did white people feel shame or remorse for what they did collectively. Not then, not now. It's just how white folks are, obviously.

In a white person's mind its all justified, and they're all set. Hands clean, moving on. Every year since 1609 white people (collectively) say "were not giving you darkies our money- go away!" I'm paraphrasing but yea... there is absolutely no need to put all this window dressing on it.

DEI programs. You ended quotas a while ago.

White people can genuinely inflict 550 years (Portuguese slave trade beginnings) of terror, do 55 years of half-assed affirmative action primarily for white women and immigrants, and say- "were absolved!"

It must be nice. That is just how it is.

BBMM, if one of your ancestors did something bad, would you want that held against you?

I notice you said 'you' as if i had anything to do with it, lol

I dont think YOU should get any money because of what your ancestors went through. I just don't.

I turned 551 on my last birthday! I look good for my age if I do say so myself.

Do you think people should feel shame based on their color of skin?

Seriously?

This is some sick idea. Basically this is a racism.
