The U.S. Owes $350,000 To Every Black American - Al Jazeera

[Amerikan Melanin]

I’d take that under these condition.

access to 0 interest home and business loans.

free health care for the next 50yrs unless it’s elective surgery.

student loan forgiveness for the next 50yrs

tax exempt status for the next 100yrs.

give us all a special code like a SS# that is your FBA reparations identifier.

CUT the fukking check!

 

[ORDER_66]

Should be IN perpetuity

 

[OfTheCross]

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.

@saturn7

I’m voting for Tamara Johnson-Shealey here in Georgia for Senate. She’s actually for reparations, and will push for them. I donate to her campaign monthly, and I’ve gone around talking to a few others about her platform and why they should vote for her.

I voted for both Ossof and Warnock last time, but not this time. I’m just happy she decided to run again.

Oh, and God bless Mr Darity. His book on all this is a great read.

I remember her. She has spoken with the Be The Power crew often.



There was some disagreement between her and the ADOS ATL chapter. They wanted her to focus on winning a seat in the State Legislature where she would have a better chance than the U.S. Senate.
But she keeps pushing the Reparations ball forward so hopefully she can bring some heat to Warnock.

It'll be gone in a year.

Could you imagine all the Ferrari's and Lambo's being purchased.

it's not your job to worry about what the next nikka does or doesn't do with his paper.

just do the right thing with yours.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

I can honestly see this.

last civil war was about slavery

next one will be about autocracy and race

There won’t be no more wars

 

[I Really Mean It]

They need to add three more zeros to that number.

 

[zayk35]

Shiiiit they don't even have to put it in my hands. Just call my lender and tell em to forgive my loan

 

[Vandelay]

They'll never do it...but if they did...

Just make it $10k tax credit for the next 20-30 years.

Paying $350k off rip will cause wild-ass inflation and ultimately substantially decrease the value of the that $350k.

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

It should be half a million with other incentives...

$350K is too low.

I hope y'all some of y'all nikkas ain't going out like this...

On a side note, how is this going to happen with a conservative majority in the Supreme Court since y'all tired of Dems/Libs having any more power ?

Name every judge in the Supreme Court that you believe will say “YAY” to a reparations bill I'm pretty sure you have to get a certain number of “YAYs” in order to pass a bill.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

We will see another civil war before reparations.

Yep....I could see white people being but Asians and Latinos being

The propaganda has worked so well that it would be hard to get anyone besides ADOS on board.

 

[BigMan]

There won’t be no more wars

I disagree

 

[Why-Fi]

too busy trying to hide it. tearing down statues and flags n shyt like it's some sign of progress. can't teach it in school. nah that's called a cover up

 

[BlackJesus]

Call it what you want, but I can't be the only one thinking this way.

Lol if we’re keeping it a buck there is a significant contingent of black Americans who would do that. Like immediately

But it doesn’t matter. Black Americans are still owed the money. What they do with it is their business.

Nobody asks Native Americans what their doing with their casino and welfare money

Tax exempt status alone would be a game changer.

Plus pay back all the back taxes we already paid over the course of our lives.
