We tried that before the Civil War when the ACS settled Liberia with freed slaves. Most did not want to go there due to violence with the indigenous population.

Do you mean 100% fewer?

We would all have a better standard of living and not be so low on the educational ladder

There would be no eating the booty like groceries

I don't know how good farming would have been in the 1800's, but I know we'd be a lot better off in 2017.

My favorite phrase "dindu nuffin" would never exist

a certain segment of the population wouldn't have a running excuse for being mad.

No racist, just a fact, but there would be less people in jail.

Less crime and poverty.
Agree with the crime, but not with the poverty.
Our definition of poverty would be different, and so proportionally, we'd have the same amount.

4th best player is Spurs history (behind Duncan, Robinson and Gervin)? Tony Parker is half black.

The US would have industrialized quicker.

With no slavery, there would have never been a United States, it would have been split confederacies. Washington and Jefferson would have never been president. Britain most likely wins the was of 1812 if it doesn't happen sooner. There are no funds for the Louisiana purchase. France and Spain both have opportunity to expand in the us. Black population would look much smaller and the US would resemble Europe more than the US.
In other words, totally fricked.

Nope. I meant what I said.
You can only quantify known subjects. We don't know exactly how many people have/would request reparations.
