Interesting.First thing is pay the families of slaves adjusted for inflation damages for the work their families did for free.
Secondly, pay the families of black folks that were wrongfully executed over all of these years damages for wrongful deaths.
Thirdly, give land grants, much like those handed out to whites over all of these years to the descendants of slaves so they can "catch up" to the families that had 400 year head starts on us.
All of this talk about people freeloading off the government, but no talk of the government and corporations that freeloaded off of black folks. This is a start. Your thoughts?
How do we calculate the total damages, and how much should be given to each descendent of slaves?
What will be the criteria for proving that someone was the descendant of slaves?
What safeguards will be put in place to help prevent fraud and abuse?
How do we determine how much work was done by each slave, and how do we calculate a monetary value for that?
Where do you propose to locate these land grants?
Will the recipients of these land grants also be paid for relocation?
And, of course, how is our country, already some 18 trillion dollars in debt, going to pay for all of this?
As far as the wrongful execution thing, I agree that compensation should be paid to the families of those wrongfully imprisoned or executed, regardless of race or ethnicity.
