In the news this morning, studies are showing that the idea to pay Black Americans for the acts of slavery performed on their ancestors is gaining popularity. Most had thought this idea would be fading, but it is in fact gaining steam.
Opponents to this idea states that everybody who were slaves are dead, so that it makes reparation to the ones who deserves it impossible. Others believe that today's descendents of those slaves should be able to claim an inheritance on any reparation owed to their forefathers, so paying the descendents is justifiable.
Do you support or oppose this idea? If it was up to you what would you do instead? I'm sure this will be one of those heated answers, so please mind your manners when answering the question.
