What a stupid idea.

OK, so we give trillions of dollars to people who haven’t earned it and don’t know how to use it wisely. Inflation increases and their purchasing power, like everyone else’s, decreases. They blow their cash, don’t have any investments, and then wind up worse off in the end because money by itself doesn’t provide financial wisdom.

It’s just like drastically increasing the minimum wage. It hurts the very people that it is intended to help.

Kill whitie - an entire agenda or lunacy and incompetence is being dictated by 5 - 10% of the people in the US.
And nobody is doing jack shite about it especially the corrupt mafia of criminal politicians that are all stealing us blind and laughing in our faces.

Lets all do research on our ancestors...

If you can't find a link to slavery... you get a pass

But If you find a link...you're guilty of sin...

You must pay the 240k to the Reparations Trust fund...no later than by 2030.

If not paid in full you become a slave for a black family...until they say the debt is paid in full.

If you have children...they too pay 240k each...

We do this until whites have learned its too expensive to have children...

Then we can all live happily ever after

physically reparating them back to Africa
How do you “repatriate” a person to a continent where he has never lived and from which his most-recent ancestor left ten generations ago?

Given that the average African American has ancestry that is 1/4 European, which 1/4 of his body do you NOT send back to Africa?

Define "black" Americans.

I'm what most would consider white, yet I can show DNA evidence that my black ancestors were slaves.

Do I get reparations? And how about he millions like me?

14 trillion will become 500 trillion.

These people are embarrassments to their education. Simple race baiting sharlatons.

Demands for reparations have little to do with slavery and lots to do with free shite and advancing marxism.

Caving to this demand will not be the end of anything. It’ll be the start of more and greater demands. Chamberlain showed appeasing socialists doesn’t work.

The ancestry of the average African-American is approximately 1/4 European. LINK. If I had to guess, Sandy tops that percentage significantly. How does that affect his reparations check?

The average American woman is 30 years old when she has her first child. That would seem to indicate that a generation is probably 30 years.

Is there a bill or something proposed to actually distribute reparations? Why is this even being discussed? Seems like unwarranted pearl clutching.
eg State of California reparations task force

Correct. A generation is defined by roughly 30 years

I think people get confused when we talk about social generations like Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z. Those are usually delineated in 15 year time frames or so.

No one alive had any part in slavery. For any Black Americans that want to go back home to their "kingdom" in Africa, well I'd be willing to use tax dollars to pay for their one way travel cost. So long as they surrender their US citizenship. That was Lincoln's plan after the civil war. Look it up.
it was briefly discussed in concept but quickly dismissed as infeasible.

Dude. The data is pretty clear on this. The 22 trillion spent on the war on poverty has mainly gone to white people. That's because there are a lot more white people.

You would have to be the result of about 7 generations of inbreeding to think that blacks consumed the majority of that 22 trillion dollars

The only reparations I would support is a one way ticket to their ancestral country of origin coupled with a stripping of US citizenship

Looks like Dodge made a mistake by discontinuing the Charger and Challenger.

So you're saying Obama wasn't an African American? Thanks for clearing that up.
