Reparations

The question of reparations for the descendants of slaves is in the news and I have the solution and it is two fold. First only the descendants of Black Americans whose lineage can be traced to Africa qualify. Second only the descendants of White people who owned slaves must pay. Part two is for payment to those who freed the slaves. That includes all the people who were anti slavery during the Civil War and in particular to the 560,000 White males of European descent who died fighting to defeat slavery. The ancestors of the slaves who were freed should be assessed a fee to reimburse the families of these soldiers and all other citizens who were abolitionist. When you do the math you will find it is a wash.
