Not to mention so very few families owned slaves back in the day. The way people talk, you'd think everyone had slaves - no, that was a very small minority of ultra-wealthy people.

What about people who's families immigrated here post-slavery? Their tax money has to pay reparations too?

Reparations is a non-starter. Any discussion or endeavor to push for reparations is a naked attempt to buy votes with lies.
