Never Picked Cotton, Never Owned a Slave

The issue of slavery reparations is rearing it's ugly head in America again. I'm not going to go into all the many and varied reasons why I believe paying reparations is a batshit crazy idea, instead I'm going to ask what happens if I'm wrong

What if it is actually morally, socially and financially correct that reparations be paid to the descendants of slaves? The question then is, why now?

Slavery was abolished c150 years ago. If we leave it for another 150 years before reparations are paid, won't the people of that time be owed more money than they people today?
If we pay today, tomorrow gets nothing
Are the people of today not stealing from the people of the future by demanding payments now?
Or do we have to pay every generation for eternity?

What about the Governments and taxpayers that have gone during the last 150 years? Why does this generation owe when they didn't? Were reparations not the sole responsibility of Lincoln when he 'freed the slaves'?
What about other presidents since? Why can't the current administration say, "take it up with Reagan. Or Nixon"?
What about the generations of slave descendants who have lived and died since slavery was abolished, but got nothing? Are their payments written off, or do they get added onto today's bill?

Why now?

Because for the first time since slavery was abolished, America is rife with a generation of snowflakes who are intent on stirring up race hatred in order to be able to excuse all their own failings in life and blame it on a thing that happened way before even their grandparents were born

Because the west has raised a generation of 'progressive' social justice warriors looking for a cause to fight. People who in order to justify their own tiny, inconsequential existences, strive to set black against white, straight against gay, Christan against Muslim, rich against poor and old against young

And we have Governments who sit back and encourage the whole circus in order to make sure that one thing never happens:

Somebody sets the people against the Government

Never picked cotton? No reparations for you
Never owned a slave? Nothing to pay
If you have an issue, take it up with Lincoln

Now stop with the racemongering and focus on the real enemy
