The rules for qualifying for reparations are:

1. The recipient must be a living relative of an actual slave. Not all Blacks were slaves and not all blacks qualify for reparations; if the slave masters set their ancestors free and paid them with money or land and property prior to 1865 then they have already received their reparations
2. Any person born after 1970 does not qualify for reparations despite any racism that he or she has experienced because the laws had changed by then, allowing for lots of opportunities and freedoms that those pre-1970 were not legally entitled to, including dating, marrying or having children with Whites.
3. Any person whose income is over $250,000.00 per year does not qualify for reparations unless he or she has documented proof that his biological parent, grandparent, great grand, etc. were directly enslaved and their traces/roots can be followed directly back to slavery.
4. Any immigrant with Black skin or features or is of African descent is not qualified to receive reparations because he or she migrated to America of his or her own free will, not as slaves. No enslavement; no reparations!
5. Any athlete, entertainer, businessperson or employee that has made millions of dollars off America is not entitled to reparations.

These qualifications place a burden of proof on those applying for reparations, meaning they have to do genealogical research within their family tree and history so they can know their family and their roots and then seek to get reparations for what was illegally done to their ancestors. Most Black Americans want to be paid reparations for being Black in America and suffering from discrimination, injustice, etc. Unfortunately, these do not justify reparations and are situations that can be handled via the exercise of civil and voting rights. Many countries have populations of people who are at the bottom of the class-pole and suffer just like Blacks in America suffer, some even worse i.e., Burma, Bangladesh, all throughout Africa, etc. Some places still have a caste system in place where there are no opportunities ever for escape, growth, upward mobility, or a chance to get rich. So Blacks that live freely and choose to pursue White privileges and get doors slammed in their faces and phones hung up on them, they cannot complain for the rejection as long as there is no physical violence or harm done to the seeker by the rejecter. Seek opportunities elsewhere!
