Documented and verified genealogical evidence should be required, and payments should come from the descendants of slaveholders (genealogical evidence also required). The work involved will seriously reduce the applicant pool. It's a LOT of work. Ask anyone who's applied for DAR/SAR.

That said, Bowman should have been censured at the very least. He knew perfectly well what he was doing. The video clearly shows him grabbing one of the signs that indicate the doors are locked fire doors, knocking the other sign to the floor, pulling the fire alarm, and walking AWAY from the doors, sign in hand. He's a lying sack of $h!t who would have severely disciplined any middle school student who did the same. He adds to my reluctance to admit to being a NYS resident!

Oh, and reparations payments should be a fixed amount per documented slave, to be divided among their descendants. That'll end up being a lot of effort to get $1.37!

Ok, but if they have any white DNA they have to pay it to themselves.

My ancestor who came over on the Mayflower was an indentured slave - er, servant. Does that mean I get some?

These racist asshats can propose all they want. The dims and the Black Caucus have a better chance pissing up a rope before this BS is ever approved!

Can I "identify" as a descendent of a slave and get me some of that money?

Will they do any genetic testing, or can you just identify as being from slavery lineage?
