1. There's a way to do reparations that doesn't involve cutting a big check.

There can be college scholarships, small business grants, paid job training, upgrading of schools an community centers and one that takes off from what's proposed in the new families provision of the infrastructure bill...a monthly stipend, or quarterly or bi-annually. That avoids the constant and usual criticism of reparations...the cutting of big checks to individuals.

It could even be an annuity like the ones Alaskans get every year from their oil fund. There shouldn't be any objection after everyone now knows what happen in Tulsa a hundred years ago. And that was just microcosm of the stolen generational wealth of the dozen of other race massacres and the hundred of years of unpaid/stolen labor of enslavement.
