Reparations anyone?

First sorry if tackled somewhere else.
For I missed it if so.

The topic of Reparation to ancestors of former slaves.

My feeling is sure something needs to be done for the actions of the past.

There are a few countries and families fortunes made off their labor and suffering. The countries and fortunes are still around today and should be held responsible.

Now as to just the how?

Paying out a one time payment or similar program would not help all effected today by inequality. Feel some programs to help all segments of our society. Bring up all schools to a equal standing and proper funding. Programs to develop economically depressed areas. By the companies who benefited from others. Affordable housing with ownership.

Give people a good education, job and homes would go along way to build wealth for future generations. Give a sense of pride and inclusion.

That is a more permanent solution it would seem. Rather then a check and done.

For when one thinks about inequality it effects all races and ethnic groups. So to keep from further unrest and what about me? Doing a program to help all seems to me the path forward.


For the people are here to stay.

Best to include them in the American dream.
