Let's say the federal government comes up with a reparations plan and announces a one time cash payment amount for every ADOS adult. What is the minimum amount you would accept?

10k over a life time
and before the usual bussy boys get to blubbering, add up 10k from a period of 21 to 71 years old.

I think a specific amount could be calculated.
To me reparations is just back pay for unpaid labor of our enslaved ancestors.
Lets say i have a relative that spent his entire life working in the fields, died at 62.
average laborer back then earned about $9 a week. or $468 a year. $29K in his lifetime
compound with interest for 159 years to today. Could potentially be around $316,777,138.78 they owe for that specific relative.
Multiply times the number of relatives that were in slavery is how much reparation is owed to estate of each slave. The amount would be evenly divided amongst all living relatives.

200k seems to be the interception between actually possible in this racist country and actually impactful
Marianne Williamson said $500k over 10 yeara for everyone and Internet Ass Muhfukkas took that seriously cause wE dOn'T nEeD a StUdY
500 billion to roughly 30 million so called "ADOS" converts to roughly $17k per person, just under $1700 per year
CUT THE CHECK!!

Where's that?
I'm only half but if my vote counts I said 500k.
Nah man people get more money for getting burned by coffee or a slip and fall. My people were beat to death, hung, and worked for free. We can’t go to our ancestors gravesite to pay respect. Some of the above happened after 1865, so emotional damage should also be included.
The U.S. made billions off of us. We had to start from scratch.
Edit: and the process is gonna be hard as hell, prolly gotta be a certain age and have proof your family was enslaved knowing damn well some of those records don’t exist
This isn't a reward, its a literal debt. They should pay us what they owe.
US isn't going to pay China with free education for the debt our country owes.
This is why the no taxes, discount healthcare, and free college tuition option would suffice
Free college and school vouchers would dwarf any direct cash payments if we’re being honest.
That said enough to put a down payment on a home should be a good number to start repairing harm and generating transferable wealth.

what I listed wasn't a reward but it's way more than 200k.
