Why does no one talk about all the white people that died fighting a war to end slavery and all the white people that were arrested and killed fighting along side the Civil rights movement?

There are approximately 40 million African Americans in the country

Divide 14 trillion by 40 million and you get...and I'm not joking $350,000.00

Of course it's ridiculous, but if we could pay them that much and they would STFU - no set asides, no affirmative action, no welfare - it would probably be worth it.

Johnson, the first black billionaire in the United States, has put a price tag on the debt America owes to African-Americans at $14 trillion

Will he contribute to the fund?

Who all gets money? Every black? 50%? Only southerners?

Do you have to trace your ancestry back to slaves or if you immigrated in 1904 can you still get paid?

Does everyone get an equal share?

Do the actors and pro athletes earning $50mill a year with salary and endorsements or the billionaire founder of BET Or other successful African Americans - do they get some of this money? What about Obama. - does he only get 1/2? Gonna need more details.

$14 trillion


We obviously need to account for inflation back to the 1800s.

I'm thinking closer to 25x.

$350 trillion sounds about right.

Much like a lot of lottery winners, getting a huge check won't fix their problems. They will blow through it and then wonder who to blame.

The lump sum reparations check would just be the first installment. Once they pissed all of it away (and we know they would), they'll be back for more. The endgame is for us to pay them just for being black. It's for Whitey to become THEIR economic slaves.

It will keep them quiet for about 3 to 4 months. Once that money is gone it will be business as usual. In fact, I would say crime would increase in the ghettos with people getting robbed and burglarized.

I'm not being ugly when I ask this question: WHAT THE HELL does this help? I didn't do anything wrong ... they weren't "wronged". People way before me were wrong and people way before me were wronged ... why do people think I/you/we should pay for this?

Any chance that we could split the bill with the African sellers? What about the Dutch that started the slave trade?

What about those who were dirt poor, even though they may have been a few generations removed from their slave-holding elders?

What does this mean for people like Harris or Michelle Obama, whose families were known slave traders?

What is scary is that you know this will actually happen one day. The left is going to use any authority they have to fleece their enemies


It angers me every time the idea is trotted out there by democrats every four years. It's insane, and it's only purpose is to foment more racial fighting. The democrat party is pure evil.

When Obama said we go high when they go low, they must have been talking reparations

Make the taxation for reparations voluntary. Let the white guilt bitches relieve themselves of their guilt.

Lets say we were idiots and we did it... we made Printer go Brrrrr!, and gave every black man, woman, and child 350K each.

99% of it would be blown in less than a year.
