Reparations..about principle or money?

[kj614]

All the slaves are dead, from them millions have been born. The info I looked up says there are 41.7 million African Americans. If the government were to set aside 100 billion dollars for that many, that would equal a check of $2398 for each of us. so at this point are we just wanting reparations for the principle or do we want it for the money? That is about 1/3 of a month for me and I will take it gladly, but it would not make up for shyt to me as far as slavery.

If the government were to set aside 100 billion dollars for that many

No. That number is ludicrous and you're not taking into account all the Nations involved: Holland, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, etc.

ALL those Nations and Multi-National Corporations need to dig in their pockets and come up off that guap.

The number that is actually more accurate is $14 TRILLION.

Doing napkin math, that works out to $33k/ea. descendant and that's without adding 'Late Payment Fees'.

Not sure where you got that 100 billion arbitrary number, but the 2398 is inadequte to the bare minimal promised even by Lincoln.
If the filthy cac government were to provide each african-american family 40 acres of land ownership and lets say a 4-door sedan (mules wouldn't cut it in 2015) you are looking at 5k for the car alone. Alot more for the land... and thats not even adjusting for inflation.

Personally, I don't think cacs will pay what they owe unless they are made to.

So whenever they are raped, robbed, and killed its whatever really.
Just take it off their tab.

Black people need education, employment and economic stability. I am surprised reparations haven't taken hold- they would be right back in the hands of white businesses overnight.

It's about admittance, that's why it will never happen. The government / people who run the country have always done there best to make it seem like A. Slavery here happened thousands of years ago B. It "wasn't that bad"

If they were to pay reparations a big part of it would be admitting what they did, the president at the time would have to go on TV and say some shyt white folks ain't trying to hear

Not only that then you have to wonder about the slaves brought to South America and the carribean (who out number the ones brought to America). There government are going to be shook


Another more intricate part I always wondered about on the distribution end (one of the coli's favorite topics too) is what about people who are mixed? And I don't even mean straight 50/50 I mean multigenrational mixed people you kknow there are going to be people who are going to want to abuse it


I don't think it's ever going to happen

What the fukk's the difference? Obama just gave a buncha bread to them rich ass Holocaust survivors, and them nikkas ctrl the goddamn world. This America, not Venezuela, fukk a statue in front of a reflecting pool. bytch, u gotta pay me. Nothin less than a stack, Barry.

Its not just slavery. USA also owes reparations from the jim crow era. That wasnt long ago and many of our great grandparents that went through that are still alive. And with regards to slavery reparations many other countries would also be required to pay as well so USA wouldnt shoulder all responsibility. The money is not an issue as most of it would end back in the economy somehow.

God damn it every once in awhile you say something smart.
Why can't it be both?

Realistically black people aren't going to get their money. Ask the Native americans about broken promises, they'll tell you. BUT you can do other things,like fight for FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION. Personally that's where i'd be leveraging my moves. You're not getting a cash payout, and honestly you don't want one, or at least I wouldn't. Use the 1/16th blood rule for free education. Either that or no taxes...but be careful a large portion are already getting refunds back, meaning they ain't paying taxes anyway. Again, were it me, I'd shoot for free college tuition, forever. ...unless they socialize secondary education anyway...which they'd likely do.

Fukk that. Cut the check. The time for compromise has been over. They need to pay what they owe. Plain and simple.

yeah, that would be a fukkin disaster. plus the fact of black immigrants who came from other parts of the world

it would have to be a way to prove ancestry, linked directly to slavery
