The effort to get American taxpayers to pay African Americans reparations to atone for slavery in America has been around for many years. The premise for these efforts is a belief that descendants of slaves deserve reparations to compensate them for the harms of slavery their ancestors endured, and the residual discrimination they experience to this day. Is this really a good thing, or simply woke posturing that stokes race division and seeks to bankrupt America? How do you establish eligibility? What will it cost? There are more questions than answers.
