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:respect:?

That’s like saying the other person only has to pay for crashing into your car if you’re only going to drive it to productive places. If you’re a descendant of slaves, you qualify.

And what plans would one have to come up with? Every single person doesn’t own a business, a non profit, volunteer, or mentor in other communities. Some people are just living regular lives, and have blue collar jobs. Those people still need their money.

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

Don’t take the cash then.

Reparations isn’t going to be a cure all for all FBA. Some will fukk that money off over night. Others like myself would stack and flip the shyt outta that and make sure my lineage was good.

Every person that wins a lawsuit doesn’t use that money to prosper, but the judge doesn’t get to say hey instead of a monetary settlement I’m going to send you to college for free, if I have you a cash award you’d fukk it off and I want what’s best for you.

What some of you smart dumb nikkas are doing is playing devils advocate for CACs. Your CAC advocating. Stop shining shoes and say we coming for that CHECK! MLK wasn’t asking for no fukking free college.

Capital allows you to accomplish every goal you have.

It would have to be so much more substantial than just the money but my "Pie in the sky" deal would be:
$1,000,000+ in Reparations
Free College
VA Loan like Housing Options
Programs set up in community and state colleges that pipeline BLACK AMERICANS first into Career development, Skill Development, Interview Prep etc.
Guaranteed better financing options for any personal or educational loans
Any programs which focus on financial education


Many, many things would need to be set in place which supplant just "getting money".

I don't have the foolish dream of "Black business" making a return because in 2024, that is a pipe dream
and largely does not exist for any specific color of people. However, I do feel that this would allow the ambitious
among us to very quickly change their station in life. Those who take the money and don't take advantage of anything else
offered will be stuck where they're at for generations.
