Claiming that it's somehow a false argument to ask for people today to pay for the crimes of people who are long since dead. The people who were owed reparations are dead, so are their children, their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren. There MIGHT be people 4 generations removed still alive today, but it's not many. Here's what I propose as an alternative. We build a program to help the poorest communities with works programs, repairing bad\underperforming schools to improve education access, fixing their infrastructure. It will have the benefit of affecting the majority of black neighborhoods that are in need, but also not be a racist or racially focused policy being that it'll help Hispanic, white, Asian, etc. neighborhoods. No one will be able to say it's a bad thing, and the poor black people will be getting something far more long lasting than a one-time check that will be spent quickly and not move them out of poverty. Opportunities for improvement and long term stability is what their community needs.
