Reparations eligibility should include an individual opt-out

Evidence

Also, any eligible black person who did not want to accept reparations could opt out, as was the case in the Civil Liberties Act of 1988; twenty-eight people refused payment. Whether because they don’t agree with the idea, or the approach, or anything else, they should not be forced to accept reparations if they do not want to. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 544
