Since the State does not 'earn' money from it's own labors, it is the taxpayer, the 'not individuals' you reference, that would be paying the bill.
The State is a method of payment.... therefore you are holding the individual accountable for the sins of their 'fathers'....
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison
The "reparations" we owe is to end all welfare programs. We owe the reparation of ending illegal and legal immigration of the poorest, dumbest, and sickest black and brown people from third world countries.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
I am not superior to anyone -- I have Autism and Depression. But I would not call myself or other disadvantaged/disabled people inferior. African American Community still suffers the aftereffect of centuries of Slavery and Jim Crow Laws. I am not African American but I am not White.
I am mostly not altruistic.
I do not support White Nationalism because I am not White.
African Americans, Jews, American Indians, people of Japan, North Korea, Southeast Asia all have suffered due to White Nationalism.
Fortunately I was not affected by White Nationalism, but old prejudices may be revived.
