I don't know enough to dispute the damages/reparations $5 million number, but I know that compound interest over decades can add up to a LOT of money. What I want to know is who are the people who have to pay the award? I think it should only be people who were involved in the oppression. If you can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that you are not racist against blacks and were not in the relevant past, you should be legally excluded from the liable class.
The $5 million is just the appetizer:
San Francisco's reparations committee proposes $5M payout to every longtime black resident, debt forgiveness and $97,000 guaranteed income that would cost city $50bn
