    Reparations are a big step towards a race war.

    I’m a descendent of a Union General. Does that exempt me from all of this?

    What about descendants of early 1900s immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and Germany? Are they exempt from paying out on something that happened 50 years before their great great grandfather crawled off of a boat with a only three clothes on his back?

    Help me flesh this out. Am I now entitled to demand reparations for the indentured servitude my far ancestors toiled under in Scotland? Who do I invoice for that?

    This is all fucking nonsense and detracts from the current issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, right now, those issues seem to be pancake syrup, rice, and Historically significant monuments.

    You go back to 1890, my descendants were either in France, Ireland, Norway or were Native American.
    Descendants? Go back to 1979 and my ancestors were in Canada and Australia. Go back 400 years and they were in NY and Europe. No slave ownership in my history so I’m not feeling the white guilt. At all.
