i've been following this story for some time. I read a rather long description of how they are arriving at these numbers. the thing is, I could pick apart their arguments without trying very hard.
A lot of it is based on the assumption that if there had never been slavery, blacks would be thriving. But it ignores that if there had never been slavery, most of their ancestors would have been left in Africa. When you look at Africa - is there any indication that blacks there are thriving? I have seveal friends that have been to Africa on church mission trips, and for a lot of them, it was the first time they had ever seen poverty on that level.
If anyone ever actually enacts payments to the ancedstors of black slaves, we will be doing it forever, because there is no end. And you know what, blacks won't be better off for it.
