Don't know if reparations will ever be rewarded to blacks in my lifetime, but it has to happen very soon before the establishment puts a time step on claims for reparations. I think the best way to go about it is to have banks or co-ops be set up to fund assets for direct descendants of American slaves. Money is used only to start businesses, purchase homes and land and to fund education until we are economically competitive with the rest of America.

That's why reparations shouldn't be in cash form. It should be in the form of assets. Assets that have been historically acquired either directly or indirectly via the profits gained from the uncompensated labor of enslaved Africans in America.

This could be land and/or ownership of resources(cotton, sugar, denim, etc.). Or it could be come in the form of no taxation, universal free education, business grants, federal land grants, etc.

Cash runs out anyway, so that would not suit the issue since the pain and suffering of Africans in American has not run out. Assets would change the picture of blacks damn near overnight.

Peace

Yeah, I always said assets in businesses and land is better than cutting a damn check. People don;t care about that, and that in itself tells me everything that some black folk just want to ball out instead of build with their own.

Bro, if you gave each black person $500K, all that would mean is more money for white-owned companies. N#ggas love buying status items, so that would mean more money for Louis Vuitton, Loubutin, Mercedes Benz, Jordans and other n#gga trinkets.

In my opinion, reparations should be in the form of either assets or programs that directly impact descendants of enslaved Africans in America. Cash is too easily parted.

Peace

YUP, a lot of nikkas are waiting for that check for all the wrong reasons. They want that flashy lifestyle and put money back in CACs hands. When the money runs out, they be the same ones that are on that :feedme: shyt and the CAC be like "I gave y'all nikkas enough! Yall can never have shyt"

Considering the hurt of slavery and racism will probably span further generations than just this one, if any reparations were called for it should probably be an endowment that hands out annuities every year off of its investment profits or subsidized college tuition. Getting $15k dropped in a lap might not do lasting good (how many people are gonna invest that?), but $1k a year indefinitely might be pretty clutch on the long haul.

I doubt we'd ever get them to be honest. But fukk that education/fund bullshyt. CUT THAT CHECK! Ain't no way in hell I'd let some negro or Jew decide where that money goes. Why do we keep discussing like every AA is living in the gutter? What about the black folks who been in college, not in debt, don't break their neck to give to every group besides AA's? Either that money gets dispensed or I need 40 acres and a John Deere (at least a Ford/Case tractor or4x4).

Although I would be happy with a commission that puts a value on how much money has been stolen from our ancestors when it comes to labor, inventions and governmental discrimination (ex: USDA). I'd love to see how many trillions that would be in 2015 dollars. Put a dollar amount to some of the suffering our people endured.

It'd be an assload of money to be sure but going down that route I think the Fed govt would have to bankrupt itself with reparation checks, then deport every non-native american group back to land of origin or any non-colonized country that will take them and leave only the native americans to repopulate the continent.

Someone should ask Obama in front of everyone about this H.R.40 Bill and how come we havent gotten reperations... no bullshyt, no filler...

Obama doesn't support reparations. He never did. He said so during the 08 elections and as president.

President Barack Obama

Obama has been consistently against the idea of reparations, arguing that the government should instead combat the legacy of slavery by improving schools, health care and the economy for all Americans.

“I have said in the past – and I’ll repeat again – that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed,” he said.

LAND and own nation state will fix everything. People are genuinely afraid of what to do without whites. You have your won country you can make up your own rules, own judiciary, govt., economy. Black people just want to in all other people's circles except their own.

Cosign. And nikkas seem absolutely content in just existing under the oppression in America and labeling that as "staying and fighting."

I can't remember who it was, but in one of the group economic threads, someone was saying group economics isn't the answer, we need to buy land and start farming so we can have our own food.

I asked him does he have a farm he said no
i asked him is he in the process of getting land he said no
I asked him if he owns a garden at his crib he said no.

I've seen the shyt happen all the damn time. People will tell you what you're doing isn't the answer, but they're not even doing what they believe is the solution. That's why I can't really say shyt to the dudes who march all day. I might not agree with that tactic, but at least they're doing something.
