Reparations should be taken from individual wrongdoers (or their estates) and given to their individual victims (or their estates)

Any group identity in such an operation is injustice, whether it's taking funds from the public generally via State apparatus, or selecting "victims" to reimburse based on skin tone

There is something to be said for not going through the State for this, in terms of group against State.

It would make more sense to keep it isolated to the decedents of plantation owners, and the decedents of slaves. But there still is the need for recourse against the State. And its of interest to me that you reduced this to a matter of "skin tone" and not labor theft.

I'm saying restitution should flow from actual criminals to actual victims, not psuedo-victims that merely share a skin tone with actual victims or psuedo-criminals who share a nationality with actual criminals
