No, my first answer is, "here's some money, now go away." But after three or four generations the answer changes to "go away" because it's become obvious that no amount of reparations are going to be enough for you to stop asking. 

US citizenship is an inherited advantage from a global perspective. You are better off from being born into a system where the answer is "tough luck" because your society overall will get richer if we're not forced to waste time micromanaging everyone's wealth to satisfy your historical grievances.

Now we’re talking. You acknowledge there are

So the wealth gap created by racial inequality has to matter too, if we’re being honest.

If your answer is “tough luck,” I get it. But say it out loud. I can respect someone who owns that position.

If inherited advantage is real, inherited disadvantage is too.
