Once again you show your ignorance. Chinese workers were paid about $1 a day. Out of this they had to pay for their food, tools and lodging which were supplied by their employers. This left them with next to nothing. More than 1000 Chinese died through work related incidents in just a four year period. Many more were simply killed in the deserts and mountains, or left for dead when injured. If you lived in the US or went to school there, you would learn these things in sophomore year of High School.
As for the law, there was no law that created slavery. There was only a law that abolished it. Hereditary slavery laws were not enacted everywhere, only a few places actually made laws like that well into slavery. Hereditary slavery was simply "southern tradition". Again you would learn this in US High School. Delving deeper into the subject, if you want of course, I wrote a paper in University on reparations and actually argued for reparations as an assignment in moot court.
Of course, as someone who would not actually be responsible for paying reparations, or their children and grandchildren paying for them when there is no history of slave ownership can easily be in favor. And I am sure you are in favor of paying junkies to stay sober, or to give away housing to people who chose to not work. Meanwhile all of this has to be paid for.
Social welfare programs are one thing. Unearned entitlements are another. Give a junkie 100K and they will blow it and likely be dead in a month. Want to start a war within a race, give only those who can prove slavery descent the money and watch the other part kill them for getting it, or kill the people who gave it to first group and not everyone. The problem with these blind and stupid ideas is no one knows WTF they are doing.
