The U.S. could’ve given $250,000 in reparations…

[Afro]

anyone who argues against reparations because it's not financial possible is making the weakest argument of why it will never happen.

especially with how much $ printed since 2020

They already forgot Trump and co PRINTED money to save the stock market?

$500 billy~

Why did the Federal Reserve inject half a trillion dollars into the financial system?

Even if you got the monies right ...its the deciding who can recieve it as the biggest obstacle... "$5 Black Americans" ( look up term "$5 Indians") are going to appear out of the wood works. Everybody from:

• Phenotypical White Americans that discover from DNA program they have 3% West African DNA
• The "Me No Black Papi" Dominicans and other Afro Latinos, even if they claim their black heritage, their ancestors were not in U.S.
• Same as above for English and French speaking West Indians
• Africans gone say they are West Africans, and although their ancestors possibly were enslaved on U.S. soil, they are not descendants of those people.

So that questionhas to be solved even you get a program or amount ready to be voted on...

Census data and slave records.

If they were to just cut checks, it would be one of the most tragic mistakes ever made. There are too many examples of athletes from poor backgrounds who blew through money, people who won the lottery and ended up broke, etc.. In this day and age of look at my chain and look at my bytch and look at my car, it would be criminally negligent to reduce reparations to cutting a check.

Fools and their money will part regardless. Lemme get mine and I'll take it from there. EVERYONE ELSE got a check, run my check.

These people are not Americans, shut up

No they may or may not be American citizens.

The point is they may or may not have their hands out as non-Foundational Black Americans. Look up the term "$5 Indians"

There is a lot cross cultural intermartiage, so their kids may be able to make that claim.

 

[newworldafro]

This is not a valid concern. You can fix that with:

1. Proof you had an ancestor here back in 1800’s (there’s census records).
   
2. You would also have to have listed yourself as Black American on a census in the past 10 years.

Yes. You can have records and stipulation like that.
However, I do think it is an issue that has to be worked out, so it is valid.

 

[HarlemHottie]

Its not gonna happen. I don't know why we're fooling ourselves at this point. No matter how legitimate the claim is.

Who the fukk is "ourselves"? You not us.

 

[TheBigBopper]

We should have just gone for the low hanging fruit and give reparations for every living person born in the Jim Crow South before ~1968 with at least one ADOS parent. This should be even less controversial than legacy slavery based reparations because these people were directly deprived of their rights.

Why are y’all so worked up on who can’t get something we don’t even have yet or even close to geting. What kind of fukked up obsession is that

simple solution is if you’ve claimed African American on your census for your whole life you get it, if you haven’t you don’t

I'm Nigerian American. Born and raised in the U.S. all my life. I'm not entitled to reparations. Distinctions have to be made on who should get reparations, breh. It's not a matter of xenophobia or whatever. ADOS is owed what is due.

Are either one of your parents African Americans?

 

[richaveli83]

Are either one of your parents African Americans?

They're both Nigerian immigrants. My dad was murdered by the police when I was a baby so he never became a citizen. My mom has been an American citizen since the early 90s. I was raised in my adolescence/teen years by my ADOS stepfather.
