Do we figure out who are the direct decendants of slaves and pay them all a fixed figure and call it paid in full? Seems to me that part of the frustration of those who oppose reparations do so because they see it as an unending financial drain. Or maybe you don't see it as ever ending. This is one I struggle with, so I'm looking forward to your responses...

That was and is my point. It will never be enough for everyone. So, I say enough and let's move on to a goal that is obtainable. But, people cannot let go of what politicians on both sides have inserted into their heads for years.
