You are really stupid. Are you sure you aren't doing internet blackface? Because whites using internet blackface pretend to be back women and they argue anti back arguments just ike you are. Jim Crow can be compared to slavery and blacks who lived in the middle of it have said so. My parents did. My grandparents did. Republicans were complicit in the problem.
And if you are actually black, you're an idiot for being part of a party that is openly white supremacist. And since reparations are not just about slavery, read this and start thinking, if you are actually black that is:
Citygroup did a study focusing on U.S. GDP from 2000 until 2020. The study revealed huge losses in GDP due to continuing discrimination against blacks in business revenue, education, housing credit, and income. The study determined that since the year 2000, continuing discriminatory practices in the four areas mentioned in the prior sentence resulted in a loss of 16 trillion dollars in GDP.25 The breakdown is as follows:
“Closing the Black racial wage gap 20 years ago might have provided an additional $2.7 trillion in income available for consumption and investment.
Improving access to housing credit might have added an additional 770,000 Black homeowners over the last 20 years, with combined sales and expenditures adding another $218 billion to GDP over that time.
Facilitating increased access to higher education (college, graduate, and vocational schools) for Black students might have bolstered lifetime incomes that in aggregate sums to $90 to $113 billion.
Providing fair and equitable lending to Black entrepreneurs might have resulted in the creation of an additional $13 trillion in business revenue over the last 20 years. This could have been used for investments in labor, technology, capital equipment, and structures and 6.1 million jobs might have been created per year.”
For years I have listened to the “I’m not responsible” or “I didn’t own anybody” and “I was not alive then” excuses coming from uninformed idiots like yourself. Citigroup determined money lost due to racial discrimination against blacks since 2000.
At a minimum, reparations can be requested for money lost from 2000 until right now. If we only take lost income from racism starting in 2000, it equals more than $57,569 per black person in America based on the 2020 U.S. Census. Including all losses due to racial discrimination equals more than $277,185 per black person in America. This is money owed NOW for things done in OUR LIFETIMES.
