we are talking about an event than ended in the 1940s being settled in the early 1950s as opposed to an event that ended (sort of) in 1865 being settled today. that's one major logistical difference.

i talked a lot about this in bin's post previously. who receives reparations and how much they receive can vary a lot more today than it could have a long time ago. and honestly that is to say that the compensation should likely be *more* substantial. but then how to get you get that funded? it's a complex question and i see people approaching it as some sort of threshold thing. i think most people in this thread want reparations, so why are we shooting for an echo chamber of ifs when we should be looking more at a legitimate how.
