And who sold the slaves off the coast of Africa (hint it wasn't white people).

It was those look up the Lancados. They were the Europeans who set up the slave trading forts. Often times villages were held hostage, taken for ransom and threatened with destruction if they didn't cooperate and supply means for slaves. Often times tribal wars were started out of an either them or us situation.

So you want to punish an entire world for the sins of its fathers. Because you can't just magic $15-20 Trillion out of thin air to give to a disaffected group.

Not to mention the potential social ramifications. You run the risk of creating entitled people who think they deserve more and more even though they've been paid.

You're punishing an entire world, at best just an entire race (white), for the actions of a few of their fathers

The US has the funds at it's disposal. $7 Trillion just went out over the span of a few weeks over Covid. To correct the damage of the biggest crime in human history that took place over a span of centuries there will be a high price tag

It's not punishment it's repayment and just compensation for work done, free labor and state sanctioned oppression that the USA benefited from which is what put it on top of the world as the wealthiest nation for all of these years. The funds come from the USA and all who benefit from the society we live in today, including the wealthy corporations who have built off legacy money from slave labor (Lehman Brothrrs, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America etc.) It's not just coming from White people. Technically if it comes from the USA even Blacks would be paying into their own Reparations. It's not about which race or individual pays but it's about the USA and the establishments that reside within paying the debt that is owed and repairing the historical damage.
