[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reparations for those in the Japanese internment camps paid $20K to each survivor (approx. 100,000).

I'm sure we could agree to pay 20K to each survivor of U.S. slavery.[/quote]

That would work if we were able to identify the survivors of U.S. slavery, but that is near impossible.[/quote]

Actually, no it's not. The U.S. Historically has done a great job of record keeping. Some combination of prior census identification plus other proof would be more than enough. [/quote]

That's great.  We can track them down to their country of origin and then compare the life they would have had in (for example) Mali vs. the US.  We could determine the disadvantage/advantages accrued living in the US vs. living in Mali.  If living in the US materially disadvantaged their descendents in lifespan, education, yearly salary etc then we could probably determine how much the US owns them.[/quote] If they are better off, then would they owe reparations to the US?[/quote]
