The Next Right-Wing Media Freak-out: Slavery Reparations in California

NY Mag ^ | 5/05/23 | Ed Kilgore

Let them do it. In fact if they don’t do it, then they should be condemned as hypocrites.

[notdownwidems]

Where’s the barf alert?

[econjack]

As Republicans have become mired in MAGA radicalism...

Really? Who is this twit anyway?

[econjack]

I reported before that I served as an expert witness for 40 years figuring out reparations in various cases. Reparations are to leave the plaintiff in a position of financial indifference relative to the event. I gather data on incomes for the Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, and Angola as that where the largest percent of slaves came from. I then calculated the income average for blacks in those countries and black income in the US. I then did a present value analysis for 157 years. As it turns out, blacks in the US owe non-blacks just over $640,000.

I don't know what those clowns in CA did to arrive at their numbers, but there sure as hell is some flawed analysis there.

Nobody on the Right is going to freak out about it. We’re just going to shake our heads and laugh - kinda like we do at the hordes of drug addled bums living on the street, taking dumps on the sidewalk, leaving used needles everywhere and forcing businesses to close in places like San Francisco, LA, etc

[Chickensoup]

This has nothing to do with reality. It is lining bup the soldiers.

[Chickensoup]

I would love to see your findings on Twitter. Do you Tweet?

That is where conservative information takes off.

[Salman]

It will never be enough and there will be even more riots than before. And not just in California.

Maybe the Mexicans in California will get sick of it and do something.

[econjack]

I’m not on Twitter.

[Chickensoup]

Pity.

That is an interesting piece of information and could move thru Twitter verse.

I have tried to link Twitter to fr posts without luck. Perhaps to a new thread?

[Bernard]

The number I saw earlier today was $800 Billions (with a B).

California will build that high-speed railway and require all reparation recipients to ride that train to pick up the check, before the payout happens.

[struggle]

Nah, it’s a great idea. When another million flee Cali and the real estate market there collapses (the banking system funding it already has), they can blame racism again.

[econjack]

Why not just take what I said, copy it, and post to Twitter?
