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

Housing set asides? Housing?

Sure breh... I want someone to drive me around :snoop:

The reason I bring up housing subsidies is because it costs the government nothing for you to claim your rent/mortgage against your taxes to live tax free. Just like subsidized college, free public transportation, etc. there are ways to give black people benefits that would allow for upward mobility without the government having the excuse of “well it’s a drain on the economy”


But I get it, it’s the Coli, gotta get them jokes in :salute:

They just spent trillions on the corona bill and before that trillions to bail out banks :mjgrin:
thats what I was getting at...that money was printed out of thin air.
Its going to fukk everybody who is not retiring soon.

The general population has no idea what type of hurt we have coming down the line.
The Federal Reserve and Federal Government have been taking advantage of the fact that Americans dont know shyt about Economics since 2009.

The rich are cashing out and it will land on our backs.

Just think. Your boy VladTV said the reparations should be a free college education. :gucci: Rick Ross goons didn't do a great job of fukking him up.

But seriously. These white pale face b*stards ain't giving up shyt. Black people would have to go to war fukking cacs up for any hint of reparations would get handled. The system is designed for black people to do all the hard work, while these funky ass cacs profit off of them. shyt gotta end.

500 trillion or nothing

Non ados trolling.


This is why every foundational black American on this forum needs to watch these people because when we make progress they will be right there with hands out or trying to thwart that progress

I believe this is the 1st time the mainstream press let a prominent ADOS speak up about owed reparations :leon:

Breh I am watching CNBC and just listening to everyone give the standard answers, "Healing", "Togetherness" blah, blah.

Then Bob gets on the Tube talking about some reparations?:ohhh:





Then he said $14 trillion?

If every ADOS received non-taxable 376k liquid cash, it would significantly narrow the wealth divide.

:francis:
Like other dude said before, that's enough for most people to get a house and a car, pay off some debt. White people already have that, plus 10 times more money that the average black household. Not saying it wouldn't help narrow the divide a little. but the wealth divide would still be great.

Current poor people who have lived in the "ghetto" for generations would be able to pass down homes. That would help tremendously. More people would be able to afford life insurance that would help tremendously.

When your non ados ass Ran into this thread first page to troll about 500 trillion you revealed your character.

Shoutout to the immigrants with integrity who dont act like you. I respect them.
