Reparations for Black Slavery; A Proposal re: "40 Acres and a Mule"

[Celerity]

13. We will get destroyed politically if we push this, plus the complexities of who gets reparations

are maddeningly labyrinthine.

For instance, would I, as a racially mixed black US citizen, be eligible?

I am only a US citizen because of the American legal construct of unrestricted jus soli. I was born in Los Angeles in late 1996, but left before I was 2 years of age when my parents (non US citizens) moved us back to London.I did live in LA again as a young adult for several years as a uni student, but in total, I have lived in the US for less than 5 years, and I do not live there now. I am also the only US citizen in my family.

I have no desire to move back to the US at the present (which is very depressing, as the US should be the best overall, on balance, place on the planet to live IMHO). My wife (non US citizen) is vehemently against us moving back. The nation is simply too violent, too racist, too homophobic (we are married lesbians), too misogynistic, and too (overall) dangerous atm for my taste, and likely will be for ages.

My family is well off, I have zero economic need of any reparations from any nation, nor do I feel like I am owed any.

I would not accept any reparations from the US (or would simply use them all to help defeat the American RW), but I highly doubt that many in my situation would also turn them down or donate them all.
