And who and when does it stop? Black babies born by what date? Blacks or mixed blacks? In perpetuity? During the 30-year period? How about those that die during that time? Does it go to heirs or stop? So many questions.

This will be fun to watch, at the least as everyone falls all over themselves to get in on the cash grab.

Let them do a genealogical search to find out who their ancestors were and who owned them. Most just assume they come from American slaves but don't really know. They can then sue the descendants of their slave owner. I come from poor dirt farmers.

Okay,

If they get $350,000 per slave. Then the government owes me $350,000 per slave that was rightfully owned property at the time of emancipation and my ancestor of whom was not properly compensated by the government.

I have access to the historical ledgers and 65 slaves were confiscated that were recorded.

65 x $350,000 ea.

= $ 22,750.000


I think we can work out a deal....

an estimated 40 million African-Americans would get $350,000 in direct cash payments over 30 years


So, around 12K per year for 30 years?

No, it would not. They get more than that now from other government programs.

This would be a disaster for African Americans


The last thing they need is more incentive to sit on their arse and collect more government money



This is all about the left seeing them begin to think for themselves. They need to be locked into poverty for a few more generations and this would do just that

Another question: Do all the welfare kids that are continually getting popped out also get $350K?

Baby momma with 8 kids would make $110K/per year without doing one fricking thing.. Scratch that.. One thing: frickING!

That's about how much sense it makes but we're talking about mayors.

Most of the incorporated municipalities didn't even exist then.

What they are talking about is the U.S. footing the bill but the U.S. generally wasn't involved in the slave trade.

I will pay when:

A) it can be proven the my ancestors owned slaves, AND

B) they can find direct descendants of those slaves my family owned.

Since I know A) did not happen then B) is a moot point.

If this ever gets through, it'll be coming out of our paychecks and our 401Ks.

I'll go to war for this as well. You aren't taking 3k of my money to give to a lazy piece of shite making excuses for his own failures.

I will pay when someone can prove a claim against me and can prove damages...

or

They can prove a claim against the United States and prove damages.

I know they can't do either one which is why these mayors are pandering.

Hey, I have a conference.... let's do a study where the federal government pays me money, but doesn't really owe me money. How cute?

Just more “we know you can’t do it on your own” racist nonsense.

That's what I said years ago. You want reparations? Ok. If you agree to them you and your family are cut off from any welfare, wic, free medical, foodstamps, and so on from here on out.


With what they are proposing here though, what happens 20-30yrs down the road when there have been 4 more generations of them, and their mammys have squandered the money away? Another round??? frick them. It will never end if you give in to them once.

It's moving, ever so slowly, ever so surely!

"Nobody talks about cash, but Black people understand cash," Johnson told Fox News.

Under his proposal, an estimated 40 million African-Americans would get $350,000 in direct cash payments over 30 years (costing the average taxpayer roughly $2,900 a year, according to his office). The $350,000 would signify the wealth disparity between African-Americans and white Americans.

Not my cash, that's for sure!







you pay them off then remove all affirmative action laws & hiring quotas for minorities...
