Hypotheticals aside, if the American government were to sign a reparations act into law, no amount of money will remedy the rampant problems plaguing black communities across the nation.
As well-meaning as a reparation’s settlement might be, money can’t buy fathers.
Money won’t cure toxic cultural norms, such as lewd hip-hop and rap music that degrades women and encourages beta masculinity.

Money alone can’t teach black families how to build wealth for future generations.
Money can’t heal the scars created by the welfare state.

Democrats are dangling the issue of reparations in our faces, hoping that the black voting bloc that they’ve exploited for far too long will jump up to take the bait. These presidential hopefuls will take this issue and run their campaigns with it, only to forget it even existed
The Left would, in theory, use bribery cloaked under the guise of reparations to maintain the loyalty of black voters — even though our government has had decades to resolve this “unkept promise” if they truly wanted to.
Clinton didn’t do it. Obama — our nation’s first black president — didn’t do it. There seems to be a track record of promises unkept within the Democrat Party, and to expect them to come through in 2020 would be horribly naive.
So instead of focusing on reparations let’s examine a future for black Americans that would be more valuable than any big check in the mail. Let's talk safer communities, less crime, stronger families, and equal opportunities to achieve the American dream, this would be priceless
