So if there were reparations for each Native American 3/16ths or more
Would you turn down the money or would you be noble and turn it down.

Half the people getting reparations couldn't tell you why they're getting it. Soon schools won't even teach kids about the civil war. Its racist...or so I've heard. Imo, reparations are racist in that history has so far removed them from the effects of slavery, it makes no common sense.
I find the allied bombings of Dresden, Berlin, and Hiroshima far more damaging. The suffrage was considerably greater. I don't see descendants of this much more recent history crying about anything.

Reparations, hell.
We need to give the land back to the Indians and ALL of us go back where we came from.
I'm heading to London.....y'all have a nice trip.

The food sucks there. Go to Copenhagen. Better everything and they speak English for the most part.
I had better food in the jungle of Indonesia than I had in London. I'm a foodie. Now Chicago, that is food heaven.

Let me answer that for you since I have plenty of Black & Native American blood in my body.
I would vote no for reparations if it were on a ballot.
When the government was stupid enough to give me money for nothing, I took it.
If the politicians again get stupid enough to give me money for nothing, I will gladly take it again.
Also if you feel guilty about your white privilege and are noble enough to offer me your stuff, I will happily accept you money and possessions.

I agree...and I have made it a point to always accept whatever money people were kind enough to unconditionally hand me. To do otherwise would be downright ungrateful...and I don't have an ungrateful bone in my body.

Not true.
The President has ultimate command authority.

All the armed forces are at the disposal of the POTUS.
They will all fall in line behind BIDEN the CIC.

I would do as MONEY states. I would vote "no" on reparations but accept the money. It isn't my fault that someone else feels guilty about what happened to my ancestors and wants to assuage said guilt.
