And "dangerous" b/c it raises the specter of "okay, we've even now. No more need for #AffirmativeAction".
No more #VotingRightsAct to protect minorities from #GerryMandering & #RedLining. Red States are *sure* to embrace this new "equality" and make it *illegal* for any business to "discriminate" (which they will define) against whites.
"#Reparations" in the form of gov't services or opportunity is the way to go. But "cash" to individuals? Yeesh.

🧵 (1\) #RandiRhodes #MMFlint The idea of "cash" #Reparations to *individuals* is not only ridiculous, but *dangerous*:
If you're half-white, do you get only 1/2 the money? 1/8 white? Deduct 1/8th?
What if your ancestors came from a FREE State? Are you still entitled to reparations? Some but not as much if your ancestors were slaves?
Who pays to trace your family tree? Do we reimburse people the cost of documenting their lineage?
