There are glimmers of hope in America's racial situation in spite of BLM, MSM, much of Academia--today, on PBS Margaret Hoover Firing Line, intelligence speaks against restitution, Affirm. Action
The issue of restitution on the basis of descendence from a former slave held in the US wherever slavery was at one time legal introduces Nazi-like reliance on eugenics. Also, if each of 40,000,000 "black" people in the US receive $500,000, the sum added to the national debt would be $20T. The current figure for the national debt is roughly $31T--and it has taken all unfunded federal government expenditures since and including WWII to get to that $31T.
I can't help but wonder how that would make holders of US sovereign debt (Treasury bonds) feel.
How does one decide how much restitution is equitable or fair? How is it to be awarded--e.g. if a person is thoroughly descended from slaves vs only partially descended from slaves?
Maybe the restitution will be just enough to buy votes but not enough to destroy confidence in US sovereign debt. But how can one guess what that number will be without going ahead and launching the program on a by-the-seat-of-your-pants guess?

Another consideration is how do you subtract out the benefits the slave descendants have received for living in the USA instead of Africa?
