California about to be the first state to administer reparations!s

Not saying that at all. I’m saying that reparations (if any) would be paid out of general revenue and you don’t get to decide who does and doesn’t receive a slice of the taxes you pay.

And I am not arguing the logistics of taxation and spending. I am talking about opposing an idea that is racist to it's core.

And I was talking specifically about your statement ‘So you ain’t getting a motherfucking nickel out of me.’ If it’s paid for out of general taxation, they ARE getting a motherfucking nickel out of you, whether you like it or not.

But Nudger brings up an interesting point. Let’s say the sale of federal lands was adopted as a means to fund reparations. Would you purchase 1000 acres of land for $100 if you knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the money you paid was to be used to pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved Americans?
