Y’all KNOW that number is BS. If you fall for that, you’re SILLY.
Not only does the US owe reparations but so does Great Britain, Spain, and FRANCE, and the Dutch.
All 5 countries owe reparations. They got over 200+ years of FREE LABOR. If you two think $71 is the allotment, you’re thinking just how they want you too.

Some Jewish individuals have received $200,000+ EACH, EACH.... other’s have gotten $51,000 or so.

What’s funny is that it’s a group of old white men, same men that wanted to turn down civil rights in the first place, are in charge of all these race relations. Idiotic

“ $750 for each year after 1948, that they lived after the Holocaust”
Even if they lived 10 years, that’s $7,500. 40 years? That’s $30,000. But fools talking about some $71

Watch your mouth champ. I expect you to conduct yourself like you have some sense of class......whether you were raised accordingly or not.
Aint enough money in the world.
One of the reasons black people in America today have such little wealth is because they were (and still are) excluded from owning real estate / property due to racist redlining and predatory lending, as well as being expressly and specifically excluded from all the "New Deal" social programs, and their benefits.
In other words, Black people were purposefully excluded from creating generational wealth.
This goes back to the reconstruction era...
"In terms of Reconstruction, Wilson held the common Southern view that the South was demoralized by Northern carpetbaggers and that overreach on the part of the Radical Republicans justified extreme measures to reassert Democratic national and state governments. During Wilson's presidency, D. W. Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation (1915) became the second motion picture to be screened in the White House. Wilson agreed to screen the film at the urging of Thomas Dixon Jr., a Johns Hopkins classmate who wrote the book on which The Birth of a Nation was based. The film, while revolutionary in its cinematic technique, glorified the Ku Klux Klan and portrayed blacks as uncouth and uncivilized."
This is to the backdrop of Jim Crow!
Fast forward to today and Presidents retain the view that there are "good people on both sides"
Even Joe Biden out here waxing poetic about cozying up to segregationists and calling it bipartisanship.
The first thing we need to do is be honest.
Money aint enough.
We must go back, own, and undo every single racist act committed in this country since the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705.
Enough of the lies.
We must eradicate racism in ALL its forms.
Example:
Central Park 5 received millions in a settlement, yet the individual people who took their lives away from them when they were teenagers are yet to be held accountable for their actions.
Colin Kaepernick received millions in a settlement, yet the individual people who took his football career away in his prime are yet to be held accountable for their actions.
Black people being shot and killed by police for NOTHING, yet the individual people who take their lives away are yet to be held accountable for their actions.
Money aint enough!!!
We might not be able to kill the idea of racism but we can damn sure hold people accountable for it!
Then maybe we can start the conversation about the check.

its not just that, the overall long term impact of "manifest desitny" and the conquisators needs to be addressed

$50k and an apology and we coo. Not saying it’s enough at all or it even begins to quantify the pain and atrocity but it’s realistic.

If they paid what they really owed they'd be bankrupt.
It's not only about 100s of years of unpaid labor, theres compensation for what was stolen(land, people). Theres the entire church and monarchy that have the okay to treat people like "savages".
The doctrine of discovery.
The Spanish Inquisition ( yes majority of not all of your are Christian because your ancestors were tortured and sold into slavery for claiming something else.
Slavery was illegal and wrong but 400 + years has gone by and the wrong has not been righted.
It should be soon though. When people realize that they are doomed for being black no matter how good they are it's gonna be either liberty or death.
You would think a country like France who survives off of reparations and colonial taxes who lives off that motto would be quick to understand.
But the institution of white supremacy wants to ride this thing til the wheels come of instead of righting America's original sin. And yes the rest of the world that sat by and said nothing deserves punishment as well.
Understand that white supremacy was a much older plan than 400 years of chattel slavery. We don't know true history so we are repeating it .
Systematic attempts at denationalizing black people in "white spaces" has gone on for much longer than most realize.

#Cutthecheck
Everybody's knows why black people in America continue to get shafted. It's economics, the only way to even anything is a check.
Nobody questions the jews, homosexuals or whatever. With us all of a sudden the calculations are off, where does the money come from? yada yada.
After watching that trash "debate" **oons is one of our biggest issues selling out the whole race. That was disgusting too watch. No wonder we are in this shape.

I cant stop laughing at this question
"Damn i aint got enough to get them new Jays, lemme hit up France real quick. Bonaparte still owe me a couple stacks"

Ain't got nothing to add to the discussion. Just comes to a conversation about reparations to make fun of black people.
I cant stop laughing at this question
"Damn i aint got enough to get them new Jays, lemme hit up France real quick. Bonaparte still owe me a couple stacks"
First things first - lets get our babies out from under the car before we start talking about the insurance payments.
Gotta flush the racism turd before we start spraying the air freshener.
What good is a check if black people are too dead / incarcerated to spend it?
What good is money if black people are still suffering under the same oppressive system that put them there in the first place?
Like they say...Money cant buy respect.
The only thing some people respect is power.
Now if they money gives us power then cool.
Unfortunately the kind of power required to end racism, money alone cant buy.
Time to yank this weed from the roots once and for all!!!
Then after that...yes, check please!

Slavery was and is a practice around the world not just those 5 countries. I'm all for reparations for everyone who deserves it but it isn't realistic.

if your family is from the Caribbean, you're definitely owed money from one these European countries.
