Coli, let's say reperations were passed. In your opinion, how much should each ADOS receive and should there be any age requirement?

The dollar amount should be for an optional choice; either a monthly stipend, free college/trade school. Free housing. Free land grants. Abolition of debt, free healthcare or a combination of them. The monthly amount should be 4k for 100 years.

I can understand that, but this system has pulled the rug from under us so many times. They'll crowbar other groups into say, free college initiatives, then it'll be similar to AA until it's repealed by a conservative Supreme Court.

At least with cash payments and infrastructure repair we have more control and direction over where our group will end up.


Exactly the bandaid solutions never were going to work.

Similar to how the Civil Right Act of 1875 was repealed these conservatives will just chip away at these half measures.


We should have gotten our reparations directly after slavery.

Money from the slavery flowed everywhere.

we are talking about direct slave sales here.

It were governments that created laws to legalize slavery and these same governments paid reparations to former slave owners.

So, they can ask for reparations from their former colonial masters.

it's the same companies :hubie:



back when US was a british colony

what about ADOS who were transferred to the caribbean or vice-versa?

The modern conception of reparations is that if you were placed in bondage by the laws of a government, then that government owes you funds for restitution.

Reparations is not about the slave trade per se. It is about holding people in chattel slavery due to the laws of the land.

So if you immigrate from Guadeloupe to the United States in 2024, it is the government of France that owes you reparations - since it was on Guadeloupe that your ancestors were enslaved and later emancipated.

And im going to assume if the ancestors passed down something. Its a good chance it couldve got tricked off too. Because as you acknowledge,some people would have zero respect for what the money represents.


Which is why I could care less about all "our people" getting a check. Im sure the resident boule licking their chops when I talk like this. But its simply the facts:respect:

Acknowledging the money could be tricked off,but not caring,and having zero safeguards is disrespectful to the blood money that reperations would be.

Tricked off by a few. I doubt the majority of us would be so ignorant.

ADOS people are pretty smart as it is, we just need the resources. Moving to ADOS middle-class communities, building ADOS businesses, and this will help with funding newly built schools in our communities, etc...

You have low expectations of ADOS folk. I do not.

it is the economy that owes you the money.

What is the economy or the market? Isn't just a set of rules created by governments to control/define economic activity?

the money to pay the bill is coming out of the economy. so it is the economy that owes it.

:hubie:

the economy is controlled CURRENTLY by a govt. but should that change the money would still be owed.

even in a government-less state the money is still owed.

the government is just a transient set of managers.
