Don't be fooled by someone who promises you things until they deliver. Also less than 3 grand isn't going to satisfy most people and most Americans aren't going to want to pay more taxes to cover this, and that is what it would take. If they had a big surprlus then I could see it flying but they already owe China billions, maybe even trillions.

Need to focus on providing resources for black kids to learn how to stay focused, disciplined, and get good education. That will create generational wealth. | |

100 billion? Isn’t applicable to 4 centuries of inflation. The White House and all of DC was built by slaves... without even getting into the juggernaut of the SOUTH.
Never gonna happen though. #FFFFFF folks would rather start a civil war part two instead. Or create a venuzalian hyper inflation, making the money pennies on the dollar literally. Last edited by 606robin; 02-06-2019 at 07:55 PM.. |

So you are saying they don't inherit the bad with the good?? I'm not sure how you do business but if I sell you a car and you know the engine is bad that doesn't mean 5 years later when the car asks you for an engine repair you can come back to me and ask to pay for your repairing what I already sold you. You inherited that nasty engine to use for the time being along with any future issues that may arise. Like you said, Spain & Denmark sold all responsibilities to America, whether it be good or bad, in 1917 and should be held accountable now or you think they got a cheap deal from Spain and Denmark because Spain and Denmark signed a clause at the bottom that excluded America from having to deal with any future negative issue that may arise from governing a country full of prior slaves? Spain & Denmark got that! lmfaoo ![]() | |

I personally think all black people in America should be compensated if they give out checks but the grassroots movement that brought reparations into political discourse are only concerned with American Descendants of Slaves. | |

I like DeBlasio's idea of giving a portion of all marijuana sales to the community.

The places I am naming are US citizens now but you are saying that whoever it is coming up with this idea is saying their slavery doesn't count because it wasn't on the mainland or directly in relation with the US at the time? I'm not referring to all the islands, just the ones that ended up becoming US territories. They're saying that their window for reparations closed the moment the US purchased those countries and converted them to citizens was starting a new slate? Was that the reparations offered for that time? lmfaooo That's wild. I see what you guys are saying and can see that point of view. I guess I just don't agree with it but I completely agree with the concept in general. ![]() | |

Yeah, I agree. I was more so curious on other points of views. | |

Also studies have found cash is the best form of aid. If people got a transformative amount of money (let's say $20,000 like the Japanese got) tons would use it to pay off debts, start businesses, buy property, etc. Sure some will blow it off but that's enough money for tons of people to change things seriously. | |
