quote:Why?
Why don't you list the average incomes for white people in those places? Those numbers are meaningless on their own.
Black Americans are the wealthiest Blacks on the planet.
Median income of present day populations in countries of origin are:
• Angola: $2,000-3,000 per year
• Nigeria: $1,200-1,500 per year
• Ghana: $1,800-2,200 per year
• Senegal: $1,500-1,800 per year
• Gambia: $700-900 per year
• Democratic Republic of Congo: $500-700 per year
• Sierra Leone: $500-700 per year
• Benin: $900-1,200 per year
• Togo: $600-800 per year
• Ivory Coast: $1,600-1,900 per year
• Guinea: $800-1,000 per year
In other words, Black Americans on average are doing 20-50 times better in income than comparable aboriginals living in West Africa.

This is just a thing to delay/disrupt the budget whipping, horse trading, and vote.
I.e., this is just a way to frick over all Americans.

trillions
I wonder if life is easier or harder when one is too stupid to have even a basic understanding of money?

Not a penny for them until all of the Irish American reparations are paid out first.

Biggest mistake of the founders was not banning slavery after the Revolution and sending every African slave and descendants of African slave back to Africa.

This is true! The reason is bullshite like this reparations idea. Its ridiculous. The majority of American voters have spoken and its the opposite of this idiocy.

Most of the arguments I've seen for reparations don't call for payments to individuals. They call for investment into black communities, which looks like infrastructure, after school programs, etc.
Then you haven’t seen many. Hell… even the one in California called for payments to individuals. The smaller one in San Francisco called for payments to individuals.
You think “investment in black communities” is a real priority? Other than lip service? Ok. Then explain where all the BLM donations went. Any scholarship funds? New schools? What? Where did the money go that Tyree Conyers-Page raised for BLM Atlanta go? Where? Remember what Tamir Rice’s mother said about BLM? “they are benefiting off the blood of our loved ones, and they won’t even talk to us.”
And you have the gall to claim investment is all “reparations” are about?

Shouldn't we compare the average wealth of American blacks with the average wealth of West and central African blacks and make them pay us the difference?

ETA: They also call for them to paid for the people/institutions who accumulated big wealth from slavery, like JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, NY Life Insurance and Aetna.
Do you honestly think they would be satisfied with this?
You've heard the term "give them an inch, and they'll take a mile" haven't you?

They're bringing this stupid shite up again??
Trying to round up their voting block back to the plantation. Trump peeled off too many for their comfort.

The perfect example of a liberal, white, Karen that virtue signals while insulating herself from the black community.

Reparations have been paid. Blacks owe reparations at this point.

Im not the best at math but 1776 to 1865 is not hundreds of years.
People were slaves longer than that in Africa.
Really they should be going to African countries then Eruopean countries if they want reparations.

OK, you live in one city out of .... a lot in America. Do you believe every city looks identical to yours?
Glenn High School in Kernersville, NC. Used to be a good school back in the day... Then the area got annexed by the city of Winston-Salem several years ago. Winston then flooded the school with POC.
Used to be majority white before annexation, now it's 20% white, 75% POC.
School now ranks #451 out of #576 of state schools.
The school sucks absolute shite now. Had a stabbing, weekly brawls in the cafeteria thanks to people of color.
Nobody wants to live near these people and for good reason.
This is just one single example.. I'd be willing to bet there are quite a few more.

All this kind of malfeasance is going to do is make a call for repeal of the civil rights act which honestly needs to be done anyway.
