53. 40 Acres and a Mule, Updated
Reparations for slavery.

All workers MUST be properly compensated, if not in their lifetimes, then payment should go to the heirs.

Reparations to be paid by states which have flown the stars and bars; debt split among those states by pro-rating the amount of time that state has officially flown that or any other flag of the CSA.

While there are inequities to this or any other similar reparations proposal, they pale in comparison to the institution of slavery, and also to the continued avoidance of this issue.
