What about reparations for working class WAGE SLAVERY ?

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think this TALK of MEGA-MILLIONS reparations for selected black residents of San Francisco is just that for the vast majority of the " black community "- empty talk ! What should my family on my mother's side( named Engley ) with ancestors who fought in both the Revolutionary War and the American Civil War contribute to any proposed REPARATIONS FUND ? A long time ago I read a nightmarish account of " The Condition of the Working Class in England " ( 1844 ) by Karl Marx's partner Fred Engels . Engels said that the condition of the poor white Irish in the slums of Manchester, England certainly rivaled in misery the black plantation slaves of the Old South. And he documents this horror on every page. And after President Lincoln " freed " the black slaves in the South , they very soon became the WAGE SLAVE prey of the Northern industrialists. Just like " white trash " , Irish, Italian , Polish immigrants and many German and Russian Jews ( read Irving Howe's " World of Our Fathers " ) . If you had poor white ancestors who constituted for years the wretched HELP of the New England Industrial Revolution , what is your claim for REPARATIONS from today's thriving CAPITALIST class ? Ask a friendly ACLU lawyer . Ten million dollars ?
