I'm a US citizen originally from Russia. None of my ancestors had anything to do with American slavery or the slave trade. So why should I, as an American taxpayer, be expected to pay reparations? I understand the historical injustice and its lasting consequences, but I'm genuinely curious how financial responsibility extends to people whose families had no involvement in it whatsoever.
