If trump got congress to issue Reparations, would you vote for him?

[filial_piety]

$250k, no taxes?



I live in Texas, so it probably wouldn't matter if I voted for him..................nah, I'd take the money and still not vote for him.

Question though: How do we determine who is a descendant of slaves? Does a biracial black/white person get the full $250k? What about someone that has Caribbean parents or grandparents but was born here? Technically their ancestors were slaves and they are American citizens but their ancestors weren't slaves in the U.S.

Don't mind some of the posts in here, it's complete fantasy. It wouldn't happen for alot of reasons that you mentioned above from a legal standpoint. Plus, record keeping was extremely shotty and almost non existent for slaves in those times; it would be very difficult to legally prove that you were related to a slave and therefore legally entitled to payment for their labor. Most knowledge of who's someone ancestors were or weren't would be basically impossible to prove. For me personally, my father said that his grandmother often told him about a slave in the family who attempted to runaway several times, but could never make it. We don't know his name, or what plantation he worked on. I could see an attorney challenging the validity of that and winning.

This is like asking what would i do if the avengers came and saved me from a burning building. It ain’t happening.

yes. $250,000 is a good amount for reparations. And it would actually be something done specifically for AAs. A lot of people's problem would be solved with $250k. Some of the comments in here are laughable with these super militant stances. Nah, $250k for every AADOS would completely changed the landscape of things. $250k is enough for people to start businesses, legit businesses. Just imagine the amount of leverage blacks in the workforce could have knowing they don't need these jobs and you could just walk the fukk out. Whole neighborhoods infused with all kinds of businesses and homeowners and everythings that comes with being legitimately American middle class. Imagine people having the money to afford proper legal teams for trials. How much poverty related crime would go down.

I'm just looking at if it really happened, I'm not even going to get into the possibility of it happening.

all of this. Yvette and Antonio have potentially changed the discussion to where reparations can realistically happen for #AADOS; especially if they give the money to the oldest living descendant per family, as oppose to just each individual

if a legit reparations bill hit trumps desk, he'd OK it just to piss off and show up democrats - and everybody reading this knows it's true.

ball would definitely be in our court at that point

Youd vote for him if his attorney general rolled back Obamas anti police brutality legislation you spineless fakkit

1.Probably if Obama anti-police brutality legislation actually does more to hurt black people than helps
2. But I’d probably still vote for Jill Stein because she’s only one talking reparations
3. Stop being so predictable
4. Don’t sass me

lots of slave records are still in tact. It's not hard to trace back to 1800's using birth certificates, death certificates, draft records, census records, ancestry.com, etc...These evil fukks actually kept great records of their slaves because that's where all their wealth came from.

Exactly. It's not nearly as difficult as folks think. I got the registration card of my great-great grandfather born in the late 1890s. Wouldn't be hard to go a few more decades back to slavery.

 

[Doctor Wily]

No.

End of fictional/non-fictional hypothetical story.

Im not doing it based on the way the op is writing it trump would direct congress to pass the bill before reelection so I have no reason to vote for him lol.

In other words this would be a third world country without the free labor of the ancestors.

Because of their unabated hatred of black people, this already is a third world country, though one masked by the illusion of prosperity.
