NAACP Rejects $5 Million Per Person Reparations Proposal

[TallMan_J]

Yes. I a gainfully employed black man married to a gainfully employed black woman, who has never been in trouble with the law, own a home, have a black owned business, support black owned businesses, work with other black professionals, and don’t allow my emotions to cloud my logic am of no use to the community, because I am skeptical the government will give every black person millions of dollars cash. You’re right. Let me go kill myself. But before I do, let me make some PAWG threads, and call people slurs. Then I can really contribute to The Coli.

At least you have a good sense of humor. I’ll give you a pass. Watch yourself and stop c00ning for white liberals though.

A Wal-Mart Employee Wins a False-Imprisonment Lawsuit

A Wal-Mart employee alleged that a security guard wrongly detained her and then roughed her up after an argument with a customer. A jury awarded the employee almost $14 million for her false-imprisonment. Roslyn Campbell won a multi-million dollar judgment against Wal-Mart for the actions of a...

Roslyn Campbell of Kansas City alleged that she had been detained and mistreated by a company security guard in October 2002 at the Supercenter near Bannister Mall. On Feb. 24, a jury in Jackson County Circuit Court awarded her $2 million in compensatory damages and $11.9 million in punitive damages.

I hear what you're saying, but if some person can get $13 mill for just being DETAINED AND MISTREATED BY WALMART SECURITY, then offering Black people less than half of that for what Black ancestors endured for at least a century in the city of SF is insulting.​

The problem is ALL of us haven’t experienced the same treatment as individuals, and the money is coming from tax dollars, not a private company. These are the arguments that will be brought up.

ALL of 'us' ain't descended from slaves, either, and the United States IS a corporation....

$5 mill??? For 400+ years of oppression???

Unfairly imprisoned convicts get more than that.

$5m lump sum or $97,000 a year for the next 250 years



I’d take the $5m and get the fukk out of this country…

And I ain't mad at you for thinking that way.

I, personally, don't think it's enough.​

Don't worry about us and mind your business. If we get 5 million or 5 bucks, what difference does it matter to you?

For those in Cali, did the NAACP even lobby for reparations?

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Personally I don't believe it'll happen. It's like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey. However, the NAACP in SF is saying you negroids are not responsible for direct payments so put it in the community. A community made up of "all people" through private businesses and nonprofits. I don't know if I should laugh or shake my head.

The way that the NAACP letter is worded, it makes it sound like they are under the impression that it is a one time payout of $5 mil that will be split between all black people in the city and not $5mil/person.

Maybe the NAACP didn't initially understand what they were offering.

FACTS!! Now we got a dollar amount we can run with from the study in Cali, we gotta stay on code and push hard.

$5M each is $200 trillion, the whole US economy is like $23 trillion, even if they did the $100K annuity that would be $400 billion/year, that’s 1/2 the defense budget.
