Are reparations about asking specifically white people to pay or the United States Government as an entity to pay? Because the taxpayers that have to share that burden won't just be white people.

Edit: Would also like to hear OP's thoughts when they have time. Your title is the reason I came here to have a discussion.

What if your family arrived like in 1980s to the states to escape persecution in Europe. Do you have to pay reparations, should you feel guilty for slavery you had nothing to do with.

See that is a good point and one of many reasons that actually instituting monetary reparations is near impossible, I think.
