also, please stop talking yall selves outta of cash. If it's JUST cash, and all the other stuff not there, take the cash(assuming people are going with the 350k+ figure). But my god stop with the "programs and education" shyt. :what:
comments like those tell me they wouldn't know what to with 350k and might blow through it.

Make it $21 Trillion, no taxes taken out, and we got a deal.
  • $21T divided by 50M AAs is $420K/person
  • $14T divided by 50M AAs is $280K/person

I got worried for a second there. Thankfully "WE" have a monopoly on the reparation discussion. Bob Johnson hasn't gone thru the proper channels and "WE" aren't here for it :camby:

Makes a hell of a lot more sense than $200-500B but thecoli was loving that idea :manny:



These people need to understand that checking in with Tone and Yvette is a requirement when discussing reparations

That would allow us to
  • Pay off any student loans, CC or healthcare debt.
  • Purchase a tangible asset, or at least put down a considerable amount for a mortgage.
  • Allow most to leave some sort of inheritance for their offspring.
  • Gives many the opportunity to try their hand in entrepreneurship.

You buy a house that $350k is tied with nowhere else to go. Especially if you're not making over $65k/year.

Wouldnt 'close' the gap at all, but at least we would be in the game.

Actually it would. I'm not sure what you mean.

Just have to watch for the usurpers.

If they can do it with protests, they certainly do it with this.

fukkin right :win:
The argument portion can be interpreted as all Africans who showed up at any time in America. Which is not what reparations is for.

So I see what they're issue is. But at this point, any start is not a bad start.
We ain't "starting" shyt unless Yvette and Tone are in the room :ufdup:

That means every black person would get around 376K. That wouldn't change the wealth disparity between whites and blacks, but that would be a nice life changing sum.

THE AVERAGE CAC IS BROKE...

THE DISPARITY IS SO HUGE BECAUSE
THERES A LOT OF CAC MILLIONAIRES/BILLIONAIRES...

IF EVERY NATIVE BLACK HAD 376K
WE WOULD BE DOING BETTER THAN MOST.
