    After that's defined, appropriate reparations off the top of my head should be, but not limited too:

    - Immediately freed of Student loan debt. Should be able to receive free future college education with the maintaining of a 2.5-3.0 GPA depending on the degree/program. Master's degrees should require 3.0 obviously.

    - Immediately freed of business loan debt. Should receive the first 3-5 years of a business loan, interest free

    - First 50k of income based on zip code should be tax free toward housing/food costs. Similar to how Military BAH/BAS is tax free

    1-2% interest loans toward housing

    I'm thinking something like this
    I don’t think what you are suggesting is totally unreasonable. I do think that it would cost an abundant amount of time and money to research lineage and the entire process would be a beauracratic nightmare. Wrought will fraud, lawsuits, and never ending appeals.

      It is important to note that ancestry, ethnicity, identity, and race are complex labels that result both from visible traits, such as skin color, and from cultural, economic, geographical, and social factors

      I would say you would have to have documents proving that you have been classified, identify or living as an African American since xyz. If said person has been living as an African American for {set a time frame}, I would say yes, they can be classified

      Also, I think there should be a range in shaded skin color... What that range is? Give me time and I can provide shades.

      There should be a certain range in African American DNA variability using High density genotype data, etc.

      There are ways to set standards/criteria and get this thing sorted out

        I think the standards and criteria can be set and get sorted out without being too complicated

        What that person identifies as, skin color, hair attributes, DNA, etc...

        What are the color shade deviation standards? It can all be sorted

                I don't think that's an easy question to answer. Africa is an entire continent.

                That's like, "Who is better off? Americans or Europeans"?

                    Vibranium is useless in the wrong hands.
