My ancestors arrived post Civil War. Just how are reparations to be collected?
There will not be reparations.
Mine came over after (~1870) as well. In fact, the MAJORITY of whites today are descended from European immigrants who came over after the Civil war and thus never owned slaves. Of course even among those descended from bloodlines that came over on the Mayflower have ever owned slaves themselves, and they likely have bloodlines mixed with those who never owned slaves over the generations. I know, the obvious (progressive) solution is if you look white, you pay.
