Prof Darity representing.

lol @ 6 mins in.

 

[King Poetic]

And the US owes every black person a apology for slavery, but we not going to see that either

 

[richaveli83]

Should be $500k minimum for every ADOS.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

AFRAM population = ~41 million
Reparations = $350,000
Total = $14,350,000,000,000 USD (14 trillion)

for comparison: the cost of afghanistan and iraq are a combined $4.3 trillion
The US national debt is $30 trillion

one more thing:
Thanks to republicans, over the next 25 years, $73 trillion dollars will be passed from one generation of the top 1.5% to the next.

Taxing just 35% of that wealth would pay for reparations and MORE.

Cant even put a true price on our pain round


Brehs in the ground still owed their share

 

[ImLionyall]

Why would the US voluntary give that money to us?

 

[EARFQUAKE]

We will see another civil war before reparations.

Right. We're already seeing strong discourse about the covid stimulus checks but let them even mention bringing a reparations bill into congress you're gonna get something even uglier than Jan 6.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

They ain’t lying and frankly that a conservative number on the low end…

imagine black folk getting our $350,000 from the US gov and getting the fukk out of this god awful country.. It will be glorious
