Dr. Umar comes out against Cash Reparations "It's a trap"

[Drakes2ndCousin]

Time stamped

I kind of see his point about how that money won't be worth a lot, in california at least, since it will cause higher inflation (I personally believe that higher inflation caused by reparations will be temporary thus not really a dealbreaker) but some of his alternatives to cash reparations had me like.



First thing he started talking about was controlling our own music. Like come on fam.

This is the number one way to expose agents, plants and anti-black clowns.

Anyone who comes out against reparations for any reason is immediately sus.

I didn’t take this guy seriously before and I definitely don’t now

FBA Reparations should be a Marshall Plan that includes but not limited to cash payments.

without watching…. everyone doesn’t mismanage money like him.

Why is the music industry being discussed as a part of this. What record labels were around during slavery?
A rapper getting his masters doesn't pay the debt owed to our community for slavery. What percentage of black people even work in music? like 1%? If they going that niche i'd rather they help black farmers than black muscians.

I make sure to never speak disparagingly of Black Folks but you’re a fcking dummy if you think reparations are a one time cash based individual settlements.

All I want to hear from Umar is when is the HVAC going to be installed in his school.

I'd be happy if it was just a tax exemption status, like they do with churches. We already contributed more to this country's infrasture without compensation than anybody else, yet we are paying the same amount to maintain it. Should be up to the rest of the country to catch with us by paying taxes on that infrasture.

I’ve always thought reparations should be a package & these are my wants:

*They have no 40 acres to give us so instead they should do no property taxes nor down payment on home & land purchases. No interest rates. The land that we can prove is ours that they stole should be give back for free

* never got a mule so they should split the cost of one car with us and for all/future car purchases there should be no interest rate for us

* Better laws to imprison/fine those who are racist and xenophobic against Black Americans. This includes police, business, the recliners & those who won’t hire Black. Also programs to prevent it. Programs that give incentives to hiring Black Americans . All Black American jury

*no taxes on any purchase for Black Americans & no taxes taken out of our checks.

*Free education for all levels & all schools whether is college, a trade, music. Hair school, a certificate program

*programs and grants for Black American farmers and businesses owners that cover 80% of costs and no interest on any loans

*A couple million for every Black American person 16 & older, they can’t get it until 18 & their parents don’t have access to use it. For those who are adopted & in foster care they can get theirs early if they get emancipated.

****Everyone must have proof they’re 100% Black American descendants of the enslaved in the U.S. to receive this package. This can be proved through ancestry genetic testing & with slave documents. Those who only have genetic proof get 2million. Those who have that on top of documents get more. If they find it later they can go back & get the other millions***

**Eveyone must complete a Black American history/financial literacy course created by An historically educated secret Black American supremacist before receiving cash reparations**

He must not be FBA if he don’t want reparations

Thats silly money should be 1 part of the equation as well as free school, tax benefits and access to capital.

Dr.Umar is right....Alot of y'all on here thinking short term instead of long term. Getting land, ownership or rights to industries as reparations means more because it will always be able to generate income. The value of money depreciates over time...10k 30 years ago meant much more then 10k today....With inflation and what not who knows what 100k gonna be worth in 30 years?

Reparations in the form of money would be an investment. Millions of dollars in black Bank accounts now means money being spent on goods and services.

Black banks don’t work either. This is more nuanced but they have to give loans to people who aren’t credit worthy and end up losing money unless ALL people use those banks. You can’t only do business with poor customers.

What happens when 90% blow that money in under a year

 

[West Coast Avenger]

Reparations in the form of money would be stage 1 of another large transfer of wealth.

Having a bunch of money to buy goods and services largely produced outside of the Black community does nothing to fix the condition we're in.
