Elizabeth Warren Calls for a ‘Full-Blown National Conversation About Reparations’

Even assuming there was some merit:

Ms. Warren:

Besides the fact it will be difficult to determine who should reap the rewards of reparation - after all you cannot go by the color of one's skin (and who will judge such a thing) to determine if one's ancestors were slaves or not.

In fact there were slaves in the Americas (and the rest of the world) whose skin melanin content is sparse - and oh yeah, that was in the past and did you know that there is still slavery today, some of which some in your own party has supported?

If we only concentrate on the past and on the matter that you are concerned with:

Now, I am second generation American (and proud of it).

However why should I suffer and pay for something that my family and ancestors are totally innocent of - that your ancestors (and likely your family too) are guilty? I understand that some of your ancestors even owned slaves in America at some point in time - I'm pretty sure that my family does not have that distinction.

In any event, I severely doubt your sincerity in this matter as your motivation here is to obtain votes.
