The ONLY people who should have to pay are the people who were actually involved in the Transatlantic Slave Trade and employed Slave Labor in the US 13 colonies for labor and monetary gain....which some multi generation White Families (mainly British/German descent) did......If you can prove that your ancestors were never involved and never used Slave/Plantation labor (which is the case for many Whites myself included) than of course you shouldn't have to pay....You had nothing to do with it, so you shouldn't owe anyone anything for it....
For example my Ancestors came to the US from Italy in 1908.....Which obviously means they never owned Slaves (Slavery was abolished in 1864) or had any role in the Trade.....They also settled in Brooklyn and lived in the NYC area for generations.....never the South...I don't owe a Black American person a damn thing and neither do any other Italians....Case closed
AND
The only people who should receive any sort of reparations are the Blacks who can prove their ancestors were enslaved/used in the Plantations of the South.....Nowadays due to increased immigration....Many Blacks are coming to the US from all over the world and have no links to the original American Blacks who were used as Slave Labor in the original 13 American Colonies....So I don't want to here some Haitian or Jamaican complaining about being owed reparations for Slavery in the US...Take it up with France (Haiti) or Britain (Jamaica) if you want reparations for the Slavery you endured (aka not the US)....
