It's never going to happen.
how's about this. They dont have 40 acres and a mule to give us. lets say they had the mule. Where would these 40 acres sit? would it all be in some crap area? Can a brotha like myself that lives in So. Cal get my 40 acres by the beach... ya know PRIME REAL ESTATE. probably not. And the truth is, they can only give us crap areas for the most part since there are so many more people now in america then there were when they made that promise.
I'm not trying to uproot anyone from their current place of residence(white, black, or other). I'm owed that. but i'm not even going to do you like that. But what i will do is ask for you to first and foremost CUT THE CHECK. Then we can talk about free healthcare and free college/tech schools/private schools from k-12(if someone so well chooses).
The reason why its not far fetched to ask for a CHECK is because groups of people have already had Checks cut on their behalf. Shoot we're still cutting Israel Checks. and the US didnt even do anything bad to the Jews. How's about dem apples?
The natives got a check cut and land. The japanese got a check cut . So why not black folks?
And to add. When do you hear a majority of black people complaining about cutting checks for the japanese, the jews, the natives, and everytime the US goes to war and ends up giving billions to countries they messed up(iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Black tax dollars go towards all of these checks. you dont on average here blacks crying about it. yet when its blacks turn to get paid their DUE. here come the cry babies. You dont find that strange and unfair?
Lets address the question. are we talking about afro latinos born and raised in the US? if so, then YES. If not then NO. they cant get paid by the US. they should get paid by those whites in their current countries, and if they have to reach back to places in europe(spain). yes spain should pay their debt.On the first link to this pic

First things first. lets stop talking about who can and cant get the money. Lets get the pot together first. cause everytime this comes up. people get caught up in who gets it and who doesnt, then the pot is never setup to begin with. There were so called natives trying to get money from the native american money and free stuff they get. Some people trick the system, some are legit and some get caught trying to trick the system. thats a way of life in these scenarios. but just because those negative things will occur doesnt make it right to not do anything for black people at all. thats bad logic.
there was no need for you to post this comment in this thread. if you feel that way. keep it to yourself. we know what black folks have not YET received. we dont need another person saying It will never happen. thats not news.

This.
Being African/West Indian and FFirst gen american I don't have a horse in this race...but seriously without some major financial restitution for the crime of slavery...I don't see black America thriving or surviving in the future.
People talk about group economics...but it will only happen with an established foundation for it. Right now the black community is an unfinished house.

After pessimistic blacks...All we need now is hating ass cacs saying "get over it" and the Cypher is complete!

According to the estimates of man hours and labor from the years of American slavery it would come up to $71 Trillion dollars (I read this somewhere else). To put it in perspective in the national debt is over $18 trillion.
That doesn't even include the $80 million that came from insured slaves dying during the middle passage that had a value of at least a dollar.
Really though, if it ever happened, it's gonna expose more than White's dirty laundry...it's gonna put the Jews on blast cause they financed all 8 slave ships that were used during the transatlantic slave trade.
Realistically whats the chance of this happening? 2/10?
*L*E*G*A*C*Y*
Done.
I've said this as well....let's ignore the black Americans that fend for themselves, take care of themselves and their families, work and invest, pay rent or mortgages...let's focus on that segment of black America who would just not be able to help themselves and honestly have no clue how to function without white people. They need the most help.
Also @bdizzle said it in another thread...I think some reparations money needs to go towards mental health for black people to undo the damage that the legacy of slavery and systemic racism has laid upon black people's collective psyche. As well...Some of that money should go towards defense.
Why defense? Because white people's undying hatred of blacks would not end with reparations. Believe me thee...There are gonna be some angry as white people who are gonna want to inflict harm on black people for gettjng what they believe to be "free money". Look at rosewood, tulsa, black wall street, they gonna get jealous and try to start hurting people. So black America needs it's own armory.
