BET founder Robert Johnson calls for $14 trillion of reparations for slavery

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.

Basically we would get a house & car paid for. We need some land to put this on. Give us the entire southeast part of America and ill be satisfied.

I agree all black people should get it

It's time for America to wake up

 

[beenz]

According to Pew Research or Smithsonian, 18% of the black pop is first/second gen immigrant. That means about 80% of the 42 million black population is ADOS, so that's really 34 mil ADOS. Divide 14 tril over 34 mil, and that number you listed would probably be higher.

3 things that need not be lost
- no amount of money can repair a 400 years prejudice of cruel dehumanization and systemic oppression
- dont expect your oppressor to magically become your healer. Learn how to heal yourself
- don't waste your time over unrealistic demands knowing said oppressor's modus operandi and the world's current trends
America as a concept/experiment is NOT sustainable

About 370 thousand per person


Don’t really know if that’s good or bad. I’d prefer free access to schools, housing subsidies, free transportation, and money specifically set aside for black home ownership and business development... but good for him for speaking up

free transportation?
You want someone to drive you around? Or a shuttle to pick you up?

Housing set asides? Housing?

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.

All of you anti ADOS folks need to look up William Darity a Duke Economics professor

They think black people would blow the money.

man listen...
...people dont know how broke this country is.

I cant even go into it...but there aint no money.
They printing it (out of thin air) right now so the markets dont freak out...
...but this shyt will cause massive deflation, and then inflation.

We are at risk of the US Dollar not being the world standard if China, Russia, and the Saudi's start plotting and scheming.

They just spent trillions on the corona bill and before that trillions to bail out banks
