Pick your own reparations

This nigga said 10 bands

I mean just because your mother/father had to sit in the back of the bus doesn't mean you should get millions.

Millions? That would never happen

I can see a 100K check though

 

[Dwayne]

yeah right dwayne

Foreal.

the interest on a house and a car that you still paying on can def get close to that.

 

[Justauser]

Easy, 3.

1. Assuming that's for the rest of your life, I could die next year making it useless.

2. I have no debt.

4. I'm a naturalized citizen so I have no American ancestors that paid taxes.

Where is the 40 acres for about 40 million of us bruh?

No sure you did the math on this lol

The United States has plenty of land to distribute, especially out west.

But to clarify, saying that is the base is simply saying its the starting point, from there you should be able to take a cash option for the value of the land. But all reparations should include land as an option off top.

None of those options included land.

If you're a renter I could see why #2 wouldn't be that big of a deal to some and they would want a cash out but anyone who has a mortgage know that if you paid your home off you just saved about few 100 grand and you can sell your home and make straight profit of it making even more money. #2 is a straight come up AND to top it off all your other debt is paid as well............................................

We ain’t never getting land. Ever.

I don’t even fantasize about that. The natives would go crazy.

I need that cash money. Its the best way

 

[SeaSnake]

Which one of the 4 are you going with and why?

none of these choices include lump sums of a billion dollars

 

[SeaSnake]

Its not enough land for 40 million black folks to get 40 acres lol

I think folks want the cash equivalent

 

[Old Man Cain]

none of these choices include lump sums of a billion dollars

lol and never will billions of dollars will ever be on the table

 

[SeaSnake]

lol and never will billions of dollars will ever be on the table

I mean reparations in general ain’t on the table

 

[Allah_U_Akbar]

Neither...they don't get to tell me what they're going to *give* me as if they're doing me a favor

WE set the terms of what we'll accept

I was thinking ALL OF ‘EM, plus whatever we decide.

I ain’t picking just one.

The Case for Reparations

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

And it should only be for the black folks who want it.

People like Candace Owens and Hershel Walker would be automatically disqualified.
