I think it's just such a vague notion to begin with. I'm for it on principle, but I worry about the economic ramifications depending on how it was done. I'm sure there are studies out there the issue is finding ones without significant bias - any windfall affecting that many people at once, unless it was relatively small, would havev a lot of potential outcomes in my mind, and more importantly I don't think would actually solve any of the bigger issues that face minorities in America (but obviously getting cash is always going to be AN avenue for advancement).
I don't even think something like free college is beneficial for a lot of people - with community college and grants and scholarships and whatnot it's already significantly easier to go to college for free as a poc (I'm not black, but I am native american, and believe me I took advantage of a lot of this myself), maybe not EVERY college, but in general money isn't what stops people from going. The biggest impacts would be directly in infusing that money into communities and education somehow, but at the same time, if you give everyone enough money to buy a house for instance, that's a big fucking step up, and I have a hard time arguing against that, other than the money just ending up back in some rich white real estate firm owner's pockets.
This is to say nothing of the social ramifications, of course, which I think would be a LOT of poor/middle class non-black people grumbling heavily about how they're stuck with no aid. Which of course is why it will sadly never happen to begin with, because it'd piss off too many voters that want theirs too.
It wouldn't be the only issue they ran on but it would be apart of it
As other groups have gotten reparations I don't see why it would be a problem for us
Because of what I wrote last above. People would see it as government money (that they're paying into) being paid directly to other citizens that aren't them, if it was just cash anyway in any form.
