Just curious - where does that number come from? Why not 140 Trillion? Why not 900 Trillion? Why not a Bazillion?

How about none. How about an entire civil war worth of reparations was already paid in blood.

How ‘bout we give ‘em a nice coat of tar and feathers?

From the article (made up by Bush):

The U.S. benefited from over 222 million hours of forced slave labor, or the equivalent of roughly $97 trillion worth of work, between 1619 and 1865 during the end of slavery, the resolution estimates. But unlike the white enslavers, Bush notes, "those who were stripped of their dignity and made to work without compensation, they weren't repaid."

How do you pay dead people? Who pays? I was never a "white enslaver".

I fully agree with reparations, let's examine the facts, figures and sources of your facts and figures to support the payments of damages for slavery on each person requesting reparations.

After careful verification of the evidence, deductions for welfare payments, ebt, wic, section 8 housing and other state, local or federal benefits received by the plaintiffs and their families, Barring any federal incarcerations- which will automatically make the plaintiffs ineligible for payment

We will then promptly proceed with the quick distribution of legitimate funds to those who meet the criteria for slavery reparations.
