It's very much a legal question. Should the children of a mass murder be held responsible for the actions of the parent? That's what this boils down to. Reparations are the same way. Should we be giving the several generations removed children of persons wronged in the past compensation for that wrong? How far back do we go? Why stop at just selectively choosing what wrongs we do that for?
It's utter insanity to hold people that had nothing to do with an event in the past libel to pay other people who had nothing to do with that event for its occurrence. Blacks today deserve NOTHING for slavery in the past any more than Whites deserve reparations for being slaves in Roman times or whatever. It's only the childish, shallow, 'thinking' of the radical Left that says we should pay reparations. They need to be bitch slapped for a week or two to knock some sense into them.
