The Case for Reparations

[@marcus_b1]

But wouldn't lineage and "common injury" cross paths at an intersection which would identify those who have suffered under American chattel slavery? Whereby FBA/ADOS or etc would be the plaintiffs brining about the case of tort against the defendant? At that point wouldn't it be necessary in fact to prove a direct connection to those that suffered the said tort in order for it to even be a legitimate claim to obtain reparations on behalf of the individuals that suffered the crime? Otherwise the claim itself could be diluted into far spread "common" or general wrong doing therefore making any specific legal request or in this case a court claim impossible? It would be like making a claim after war whereby anyone who has been harmed has a right to restitution. Wouldn't identifying lineage narrow that spectrum and make the claim stronger and more focused? Just questions or maybe I misunderstand what you're stating here.

Dr. Carr 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I wonder what would reparations would look like with use of common harm. Would we still have similar issues ie proving harm was done to ancestor ? Very interesting and thank you for you work
