The only problem with Black people, is we believe there is a problem with Black people. Reparations begins to solve a wealth problem, which was started and maintained by theft and terror.
The fundamental problem with reparations is that it will not redress the problems facing the black community namely low human capital formation and single mother households.

But let's center this with economics.
We can start here:
Darity Jr, W., & Frank, D. (2003). The economics of reparations. American Economic Review, 93(2), 326-329.
-
Or some ideas on how to fun reparations:
Stanfield, K. C. (2011). Persistent Racial Disparity, Wealth and the Economic Surplus as the Fund for Reparations in the United States. Journal of Economic Issues, 45(2), 343-352.

If your but-for world is one without slavery, giving African-Americans the same standard of living they could have expected in Africa is the correct answer.
Go race bait somewhere else.
I don’t think you know what that term means.
If you're going to use a hurr go back to Africa durr 4chan line, don't feign ignorance when you get called out on your race baiting. And go back to 4chan.
Do you know what is meant by a “but-for” world? Do you have any economics training?

I guess an alternate but-for world is where the Africans were paid to come to the US and then paid farm-laborer wages. Though I think appropriate damages models should use the cheapest but-for model which is clearly not bringing anyone here in the first place.
The farm labor but-for world might be a better one from a damages perspective. Clearly the US needed labor of some type for agriculture.
