re: What is an acceptable amount to pay for reparations?

quote:Yes, reparations would actually require a payment from descendants of slaves.
I'd say $500k from each black person to White America should be sufficient.
Here's another way to look at it: Imagine in the 1700's, two cousins are running around Africa, and a Black slave trader catches one, and the other gets away.
Revisit this today. The average African is far worse off in Africa, than the average Black in the USA today, by just about every measure. That sure doesn't make slavery OK, it's not, it was awful. But today's Black in USA wasn't a slave, and is better off for the suffering their ancestors experienced. Would the Black in the US today really want to trade places with his cousin's descendants in Africa? I doubt it!
I have no idea what my great-great grandparents went through. They may have suffered terribly. But I'm alive today, and doing pretty well, as are my Black friends. Let's move on.

That goes along with what Muhammad Ali said when a reporter asked what he thought of Africa after the Rumble in the Jungle. He responded with, "Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!"

Reparations?
I think blacks should be paying a “gratuity tax” to white people. If we’re being honest, that is the only just path. This is why:
1. They could still be in fricking Zimbabwe, Rawanda, Mogadishu, or any other African shithole if they weren’t enslaved by their own and sold to both blacks and whites that brought them to America
2. 600,000 people died in a civil war, mostly whites, to FREE black people. Their ancestry is still enslaved to this day.
3. They are born in America, the greatest country of all time by alot, and they are able to enjoy the prosperity and lifestyle that white people have afforded to them. Black people should be kissing the fricking ground that they were born in this great nation.
4. Blacks account for the overwhelming majority if violent crime, illiteracy, social welfare, and theft in this country despite making up an extreme minority.
The EXTREMELY gratuitous side of me would be willing to not receive anything under the condition that all able bodied blacks are removed from all social welfare programs as well as females being disqualified from voting if they have more than 5 kids for 5 different father’s, and if a person is convicted of 20+ felonies they get life in prison. Obviously that doesn’t apply to only blacks, but the overwhelming majority of those subcategories are blacks.

Im willing to let bygones be bygones and forgive the black community for the drain that taxpayer money has been poured down. Going forward, however, they need to fix their culture and assimilate into law abiding productive society. I won’t require reparations from them.

300k is fair
Now I’ll add up all the damages and decreased property values they’ve caused in all our cities plus the tax dollars they’ve taken in entitlements the past 60 years and divide it by the total adult black population and subtract that amount from each one’s 300k.
I think I’m owed some money now

One of the crazy things about reparations is this, in order for the monies to exist, this will have to come through taxation. So basically by coercive means, even at the point of a gun, the powers that be will extract monies from the work and labor of those paying the reparations and redistribute it to those who did not earn these assets through their own work and labor.
Is this not exactly what slavery is??? So we are going to "right" that from the past by doing the same to others?

Not a dime.
13%-ers have been given more breaks/help than any other race. If they don't find success its because they don't want to earn it....like the rest of us.

i think i should get paid just because this idea is stupid
Posted on 10/7/25 at 1:51 pm to The Scofflaw
I’m not sure how much to calculate how much the black community would owe me. I spent a life time of paying taxes to benefit them. Suffering many many crimes from them in business and personally. Had mine and my son’ identity stolen by a criminal ring operating under them. Had both a shotgun ( actually mine from under a counter) and a pistol slapped on my face by them. Maybe you can judge how much I should be getting

I have an old joke about sending all of them back. I always wished I had enough money to send half of them back. But the truth is I would rather send all of them halfway there

One liberal…maybe. It’s a dumb idea.
Lump sum payments to each person accomplishes nothing other than provide a windfall to one recipient..,

ZERO!
They have already got their reparations in the form of welfare, ebt, section 8, public defenders and 3 hots and a cot.

Tell them that they will be richly rewarded in Heaven if they can manage to stop being such money-grubbing bitches.

As soon as I get mine from the Roman Empire, they’ll get theirs.
