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

[BaggerofTea]

just kill the federal income tax and I am set, Id save 30k a year off of federal income taxes alone

make us "untaxable workers" so it lightens the tax burden on larger corporations.


incentivizes them to hire black

 

[Cakebatter]

No it can’t. It literally takes generations of advantages, and disadvantage, to get where america has gotten. we need generational systemic changes.

like how do you say these two sentences back to back and believe a one time payment solves the issue

Please explain how cash can't wipe away generations of economic disadvantages. I'll wait....

 

[Wild self]

I don't even want to say "we" are collectively too stupid, I just find that fiscal responsibility is not built into
American culture.

Conspicuous Consumption is seen as a marker for high class/high status/high income.

Black Americans are just as susceptible as anyone else to that kind shyt.

Anyone who knows my post history knows that I try to live below my means and invest the rest.
So I think I'd be ready for a large influx of cash, many, many people though, are not black, white or otherwise.

It's kinda like when white collar professionals get a generous benefits and retirement package where they select where
their money goes. Many will elect to "live life now", spend all of their money AND go into debt on top of that because
they want to keep up with the joneses.

To them, tomorrow is not a real concept.

Very interesting thread

Some people literally aspire to be what they saw on their TVs growing up in the late 90s and 00s.

Funny how people still downplay FORMAL education to smarten up financially and practice discipline so that they money itself doesn't run out, but get mad at the other FBA posters that stress for tax free businesses and getting property instead of one large sum of depreciating American cash.

It's real simple. One solution advocates for the immediate injection of cash to buy hard assets, skills, and businesses, at a known value, while the other solutions are nothing more than long-term promises that have unknown value over the time of administration. The first solution puts all the power in the hands of Blacks, while the other requires spoon feeding from White Zaddy.

C'mon breh, read my previous posts. Ive explained more that this thread is worth, and still waiting for reasonable rebuttals.

Honestly I would be good with no more taxes and college grants to universit of choice. Basically GI Bill for ADOS.

Let's say the amount of $250k. Doesn't sound like a lot by itself, but it's $1 Mill for an ADOS family of 4. You take the kids share and fund a 529 education savings account for college. The rest is used to invest in something like index funds, the kids can cash out after 18. That leave the parents' $500k to clear all debts, secure housing, food, and Healthcare. The kids now have free college and a nice chunk of savings for adulthood, on top of any inheritance they receive from the parents upon their death. Is that not generational wealth?

Million dollar life insurance’s for the parents and any grandparents. This shyt ain’t hard to see that cash is the Simone easy and correct answer.

Exactly,
The whole "Free Education" thing fails to consider the REASON and PURPOSE of "Higher Education"...

To MAKE MONEY, NOTHING ELSE.

Nine times out of Ten, the end-goal is to GET HIRED by someone based upon the "Education".

NON-Black People, DON'T Want to Hire us now, and claim we are "Diversity Hires" and other BULL$HYT.

They SURELY will not want to hire us, after the Government gives to us what they would consider a "Hand Out" (Free Education).

The same goes to the "Free Health Care" claim.

All you have to do is look how Doctors CURRENTLY Treat Poor Folks on Medicaid/Medi-Cal to see the end result of that.

SMH!

We need Cash payments, to Choose our own individual FREEDOMS.

 

[Cakebatter]

If you really pay attention, all the folks speaking against cash payouts won't state that they themselves would blow through the cash. (Oh not not me, just those other black folks) None of them will even explain how their non-cash solutions would personally benefit them over the cash payout (Again, not me, just those less intelligent Black folks). It's virtue signaling at best and White paternalism at worst. Or in Coli speak "C00ning!".

 

[Ty Daniels]

There are currently Black Folks in their 70s and 80s that lived though Jim Crow (And a bunch of other BULLSHYT).

Are they supposed to also "Sign up for Free Education" to get their Reparations????

SMH!



They've also paid taxes, do they Get "Back Pay" for the decades of taxes they paid, if "Not Being Taxed" is part of "Reparations"?

God damn that’s an obvious but great point. Another example that the anything but cash crew is soft shoe c00ning.

Ignore @Phitz he’s not even eligible.

But the hard stance by defending anti-intellectualism is downright scary, especially in reparations. Like, higher education and critical thinking is downright disrespected and ignored on a topic like this, when other FBA posters advocate on assets and tax free incentives.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

A LOT of soft c00ning and pining for white acceptance in a thread about REPARATIONS.

 

[MoshpitMazi]

You’re being absurd and unrealistic.

I don't agree, consider the continued inhumanity of slavery, passed down through generations upon generations.

Sexual assault, violence , malnutrition and even murder against another human normalized.


Hell no he's not being unrealistic 15-20 M's is the starting point anything less than is complete bullshyt .

We're STILL feeling the effects of slavery to this day.

Like what are we doing here? Asking the white man to find a # acceptable to give us?

 

[Ski Mask]

The fact that some will fukk up is reality, thats unavoidable just like there are white people who fukk up despite their privileges. But to think there wont be any of us who would use the money it to build better communities is saying just that.

At 250 k not sounding like a lot. That’s a lot of money at any point at any time in history.
