On Why the Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren Plan for Slavery Reparations Is a Horrid Idea (Above and Beyond it Being Obvious Pandering)

The harsh fact that a) you would first have to prove that the blacks would have been better off had they remained in Africa and that is an impossibility being that they would have had to remain as slaves in Africa and had their lineage even survived they would have been destitute to this day (Botswana is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa in which the citizens are doing adequately and even those folks are worse off than African-Americans, b) whatever wealth that the country had accrued from slavery was completely obliterated by the Civil War, c) every slave that arrived in North America ALREADY WAS A SLAVE and this was by far the best possible option for them (staying in Africa and/or going to the Middle East, South America, or the Caribbean were all far worse), d) there were tens of thousands of black slave-holders in North America and it probably wouldn't be the greatest idea to reward the descendants of these folks, e) most slaves in the South were materially better off than the free blacks of the North and many were even better off than the poor whites of the South (compared to what? - always ask that question), f) blacks have already been given hundreds of billions of dollars in transfer payments over the years and you'd think that that would count for something, and g) there were hundreds of thousands of white servants in the 17th and 18th Centuries and being that a lot of their descendants are probably hand-to-mouth and living in Appalachia it wouldn't seem very kosher to exclude them...…………………………………………………...And even if we did dish out reparations, what guarantees do we have that that would even end the matter? I mean, it's not as if civil rights, affirmative action, and the Great Society satisfied the masses and so why in the hell would this? If you ask me, this is just one more way to fleece the taxpayer.
