its only fair
we shouldn't be continuing slaving away for white owned entities
so are hours spent working should be greatly reduced
I say 20-25 hours a week, max.
or three guaranteed days off a week.
@Rhakim , thoughts?
Paid leave?

just reduced work week
more time, essentially freedom from work to pursue endevours that can enrich our lives.

If black people are getting reparations, then that doesn't need to be a stipulation. In fact, if you're getting real reparations, then you can freely choose to do so.

This would just end up with black people getting hired less. How a business owner paying the same salary for someone working 15 hours less per week. How sway?
They’re people who actually like their job and the work they do
I'm all for less work.
shyt, the reason for reparations is the free work our ancestors died doing.
Cut that check and cut them hours
Oh, that ain't all we want, but it gets the ball rolling

We know the politicians will push all kinds of scholarship/community infrastructure etc. type programs instead of giving up the cold hard cash. My solution is to let them do whatever 'big tent' shyt they want but add 3 tangible solutions:
1.) Have all the debt from one source removed (wipe out a single credit card, a student loan...whatever you want pick one).
2.) Pay no state or federal tax...ever. This includes SS/Medicare etc. You get that gross amount on your paycheck, not the net
. 3.) Maybe...just maybe offer property tax subsidies so ADOS only pay (as an example) 1/2 of their annual property tax bill. Those living in apartments receive some kind of subsidy for either rent or electricity. Not a ridiculous amount but something.
These would add money to our pockets without all the drama about giving out big azz checks at one time. Biggest issue will always be trying to figure out just WHO qualifies.

So private companies have to give black people less hours.
This.
Get the bag and then use it well and you can make your own decisions about how much you work.
I don't see any real way to mandate it, would create incredible toxicity in the workplace if there were different standards set like that in how many hours guys had to put in. But in general, across the board, people should be working more.
What does need to get put into place is some sort of law declaring that 25-30 hours/week is considered full-time work so that men who only put that much time into their primary job can't be discriminated against in hiring and benefits and shyt. As high as productivity is, EVERYONE should be moving down to 30 hours or so.
I want my shyt too
