If blacks get millions each I'm buying stock in Crown Royal and Hennessy. Also some Colt 45 Malt Liquor.


I've got the tire and rim store covered. Might even stock some speaker/woofer items, as well.

The house from Friday in the LA ghetto sold for over a million some years back.

Land prices there are fricking nuts and will continue to get worse between rent control stopping apartments and more people moving into the greater LA and San Fran areas.

Friend of mine who moved to Oakland for some ungodly reason was well familiar with the $800k tear down specials out there ($800k for a house which isn’t maintained because it is cheaper to tear the bitch down and rebuild than to do all the deferred maintenance).

Chappelle suggests investing in Sprint when millions of unpaid phone bills get paid off.

Be careful. If reparations happened 30 years ago you might go for investing in curb feelers. That went out pretty fast.

There are upsides.
This will be a magnet, perhaps making the rest of the country safer.
Silicon Valley might go broke paying for it.
People are going to cry when these new millionaires move into Karen's neighborhood.

Modern US didn’t exist in 1619 when the slave trade supposedly started in the US yet we are expected to foot the bill for that instead of the UK.

To adapt a phrase from south of the border, tell them payment will be “plomo, no plata.”

Greedy bastards. They might actually stand a chance at getting $1.2M but their greed will cause them to get zero.
If it happened how long until BLM is in there demanding recipients to pay a share to them?

They may be running on the Arafat plan.

If they actually get reparations, they no longer have that arrow in the quiver to use to rile up the greedy and stupid.

Being a grasping fricker and having the other side walk away gets them cred because they blame the opposition for them not getting paid.

Amazes me you nuance words like this to pretend to be smart when you are just an idiot. Example, modern state of Ghana came from the Ashantis who traded in gold, ivory...and something called slaves.

You know, you can get a passport and visit the Elmina Castle like I did where Ghanaians talk about their part in the slave trade and what a regrettable part of their history.

But sure, you are the smart one

Are they going to subtract how much they received in welfare, food stamps, and child tax credit?

I agree and I think any direct reparation payment is a horrible idea, but keep in mind the civil rights era wasn't that long ago. While there aren't any blacks alive today that knew slaves, there are plenty that were alive back in the day where they faced all kinds of hostility just for existing while black.

But again, I think reparation handouts are an absolutely terrible idea for many different reasons.

Being a slave sucked. Although even that may be a toss-up compared to living in Sub-Saharan Africa (then and now). Same re: descendants of freed slaves through the Jim Crow era.

But current descendants of freed slaves have it absurdly better than they’d be currently in their “homeland.”

Cancel me. Call me whatever you want. This is just an undeniable fact. And from the other end of the equation, what % of North American slaves were owned by what % of the population?

Someone needs to do all that math and probably set up a Go Fund Me for most white people.

Why don't we just put it all in one big pot and let them Hunger Games for it? At least all who are willing. Hell, I might would join, considering my privilege.
