How would you handle that? Better still, how about the blacks who bore arms against the Union? To expand on jagbimmer’s point, how about blacks who owned slaves themselves? How would you handle that?

Since his mother was white does he not have to pay? Exploring further, only a minority of the confederacy's citizens were actually slave owners. Further complicating the matter is that mass immigration by whites into the US continued into the 1930s and there have been the absorption of the former Spanish territories and the recent immigrants from Asia. Since those who immigrated to America after 1865 are not involved they should be excluded. I think the only fair way would be to find all those who are descendants of slave owners and traders, deduct the loss of their ancestors' lands and properties (excluding slaves) that were seized in the Civil war and give them the bill. Then the descendants of the Union taxpayers and soldiers should be compensated for their monetary expenditures (war taxes) and the loss of life and limb. After all, if you are to place a monetary value on freedom or lack thereof, should you not compensate those who purchased it with their blood and treasure for total strangers? It would be very unfair if not immoral to tax the descendant of a Union soldier to pay for something that soldier died to overthrow. This is just scratching the surface, of course.

The "bad check" MLK referred to had to do with promises of equal rights, which were constantly and consistently blocked by Democrats for over 100 years. As usual, lefties twist things out of context.

His 'black' side came from Africa after slavery was abolished. But to beat a dead horse, wasn't it the democrats that stopped the reparations? He would get none, since he is not from any slaves.
