ADOS, what's the minimum cash payment you would accept for reparations? (poll included)

[NotAnFBIagent]

ya'll dont want free education and free/discounted health care option?

no taxes, or discount taxes?

Imagine being tax free

Run me my coins

 

[Phitz]

Free college and school vouchers and dwarf any direct cash payments.

That said enough to put a down payment on a home should be a good number to start repairing harm and generating transferable wealth.

exactly, and to be honest paying no taxes, and free healthcare would be more than a house down payment. You would get more than a house down payment.

 

[Luke Cage]

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

I'm just saying an exact dollar amount that they owed each slave for their labor can actually be determined to the penny. No need for special arrangements.
If my great great great grand father. Worked in a field for 60 years he deserves 60 years worth of pay as reparations. and that would divided amongst all his living relatives. if you the only living relative you deserve a lot more than 200K. but if your family was on some Nic Cannon stuff since slavery end, that might end up being only few thousand per person.

 

[Phitz]

Run me my coins

think about it, the way inflation is today, if they were to give it out today it would be cheap

ya'll gotta stop falling for that. Imagine if you never pay taxes again and you get ALL your coins, you dont pay for the doctor, and you get 6 cert and degree at no charge.

Plus 40acres

Thats how it should be handled if you wanna go the everybody gets a check route. There are plenty of people who would settle for 10K. Should they not be allowed to get their money because some folks wanna hold out for millions?


But then when I said everyone shouldnt get a check. And that the money should only be given to people with plans,ideas,willingness to relocate that will benefit the black collective. People had a problem and said I had no right to tell black people how their money should be used. Well,what right do you have to stop black people from taking their 10K and running?

 

[Family Lives Matter]

At least 2 billion or I'm out

i agree.

Some folks are going to disagree because they view reparations as a direct form of debt collection in the literal sense.

That’s usually where this argument dies and always will unfortunately.

I hear you, but I would take the 40 acres prime land, no taxes, free college for the kids, and no doctor bill, especially at todays inflation rate

the land alone would be better payment for the blood and sweat then low value cash

 

[horizon]

The idea we need to be told how to use what’s owed to us instead of cutting the check and letting us do what we need is insane. Free education, tax exemptions, all of that shyt comes after the check

 

[Rekkapryde]

This is why the no taxes, discount healthcare, and free college tuition option would suffice

Agreed

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Don’t want cash. We need policies that benefit us for generations, cash is one time and those after us won’t be getting payments and to be honest, a lot of people are going to blow that money and not make moves that benefit those after them

• Down payment guarantees for homes
• Free higher education
• Interest free business loans
• Free trade schools
• An additional retirement benefit that kicks in earlier (since we have shorter life expectancies)
• Free healthcare from a premium provider

These are things that will help us for generations to come

 

[Cakebatter]

The US can avoid inflation and drastically affecting the budget by making it a 5-10 year annuity, and for every ADOS kids under 18, it won't reach maturity until age 18. They can make it happen.

I get you. but realistically the only way to get reparations is to do your research. Discover who the living estate is that once owned your relative, and sue them.
that has worked for a hand full of black families. I don't think general reparations en mass will ever happen.

I think those 23andMe or Ancestry DNA tests have databases that show peoples relatives. They kind of tell on people who owned slaves.

 

[Richard Glidewell]

The equivalent amount with penalties and interest added of forty acres and a mule........I just want what is owed
