I actually like this more than the ones that base it purely on race, since that’s such a wishy washy culturally defined thing. Idk how exactly they’re planning to trace those lineages since intentional meddling in those communities often disrupted quality record-keeping, but it seems to at least try to get more to the direct point of reparations than playing the lighter or darker than a paper bag game that got us into this mess to begin with.
