Why only Democrats should pay⁣

Given that there are no living Americans who were slaves or who owned slaves, it‘s clear that the idea of reparations has nothing to do with justice or concern for blacks; it‘s just another political effort to bribe voters with other people‘s money – just like Paul Ryan trying to ensure the unending flow of Koch brothers money into Republican coffers by bringing in lots of cheap foreign labor

But let‘s for a moment pretend that the whole idea of reparations for blacks, but not all the other groups who‘ve been discriminated against, like, say, the Irish, makes sense

The first question is, who should be paid? Obviously not blacks like Obama, who have not a drop of slave blood The government would have to spend a fortune to find out what percentage of slave blood black Americans had to see how much each was owned But it‘s worse than that If someone is 50% white and 50% black slave ancestry, how much does white privilege offset the debt owed due to slavery?
