Reparations for slavery: one drop of black and you get a check? ?

If reparations were to be handed out for slavery how would we distribute the money and to whom would be qualified? i mean we got what is called the ';One drop rule'; in this country( and i reject this concept) However i mean if one drop makes you black then one drop would mean as little as 1% black blood, do you realize how many white people in America could find at least 1% of black blood in them if they were to do an admixture test. The government would have to cut a lot of checks or give away a lot of land and mules, or would we now deem the ';one drop rule'; as moronic NOW that there's money and or property being handed out; and only the people with a certain amount of black blood would be deemed qualified to collect, cause if one drop is enough to make someone 100% black then even someone with 1% black in them would be entitled to just as much as someone that was 90% or 100% black.according to the one drop rule that America loves sooo much they would get their 40 acres and a mule too, would ';I'; being half black be entitled to 40 acres and a mule or would it be 20 acres and half a mule? would someone that's 15 % black be entitled to the full 40 acres and the whole mule or would they only be entitled to 15% of 40 acres and a mule? and if the above statement is the case wouldn't that be a double standard? because before there was money or property being givin out the only thing you needed to be 100% black is one drop. i wonder if blacks would want to get rid of the ';one drop rule'; when it came to reparations. and i also wonder how many whites would want to one drop themselves and now deem themselves black cause they found 1% black in their blood so they could get something out of it too. would Wentworth Miller and Mariah Carey get a full share or would they only get 25% how bout Tiger he is only 1/4 black, would blacks be so gung hoe to claim him as a black man then?( not that he needs 40 acres and a mule or any of the celebs i just mentioned I'm just saying) serious answers pleaseReparations for slavery: one drop of black and you get a check? ?
Any reparations would not be on that basis, and your ';reasoning,'; somewhat faulty as it is, is one reason. Reparations would be nominal in direct payment--the rest would beef up education and training programs for the most disadvantaged in our society such as black families in the south that still don't have running water or electricity.

There will not be ANY reparations for for an event that ended over 140 years ago. Stop worrying about a non issue.
Were you living during slavery? If not, you don't qualify.
Reparation are a joke. Any group of people can find that they were discriminated against and demand reparations. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY LIVED THROUGH IT. I think it is a slap in their ancestors faces for their sacrifices. Their children and grandchildren now live in the greatest country on GOD's earth and they have every right any other American has... and more (affirmative action) An don't think they are the only ones with a horrible sad story. Take the Mormons. Governor Wade Boggs signed in to law that it was LEGAL to kill a Mormon on sight. They we run out of their cities and chased across the country for their beliefs. They were hunted, killed and tortured. And there are plenty of other cases just like these. Does EVERYONE deserve something? Or how about people stop thinking their entitled to things and stop making fools of themselves. Stop looking for a hand out! GET OVER IT! Grow up and be a part of this great nation. Stop leeching off it. Now the libs can call me a racists and blah blah...
