Democrat Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution demanding what is estimated to be $14 trillion in federal reparations.
Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and Barbara Lee unveiled the resolution on Wednesday.
Bush said black people ‘continue to live under slavery’ because of the black-white wealth gap.
Rep. Bowman said, “Trauma lives in the black body.”
“Research has shown this from generation to generation trauma lives in the body and lives in the blood vessels and lives in the DNA and the cells and the mind,” Bowman said, according to the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail reported:
A number of House Democrats led by Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to reignite a push for federal reparations that would amount to over half the U.S. GDP.
The resolution states that the U.S. has a ‘legal and moral’ obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of black people and calls for $14 trillion to be paid – ‘at least the amount of the black white wealth gap,’ Bush told DailyMail.com during a press conference.
The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.
The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William ‘Sandy’ Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.

I have 180 trillion I can give them. :)
And the saddest part is that they are none the wiser.
You have Zimbabwean currency?
Okay, everyone who takes a payment gives up their citizenship and accepts deportation to Africa.
yup, I couldn’t have put it better myself. It’s all so ridiculous coming from the most pampered, indulged and over glamorized race of people on the planet.
It really kinda makes my blood boil how ungrateful they are. Most of them have never done one damn thing for America, while Americans bend over backwards to try and appease them and make them feel wholly equal. A lot of good all that did, huh? They just had their greedy hands out with gimeedat in return.
**Bush said black people ‘continue to live under slavery’ because of the black-white wealth gap.**
The reason black people have not gained more.. they vote democratic!!
The dems never fixed their neighborhood nor improved their schools. They were given welfare and told hiw to get it..have babies and dont get a job.. that is the report from one who was there, and got out.
The dems never made them equal. Joe biden still makes reference, dividing the races.
My son worked with one young black man..who had 2 kids.. he worked to send his kids to private school. He had friends who said. “You tryin to be white?”
But blame anything but the reality.
Leo Terrell called this scam for what it is. He was irate
F them all
How about ‘reparations ‘ for the Yankee invasion of Southern lands and destruction of Southern property?
Cory, Baby,
you must have Bush for brains to think that $14 trillion payoff would ever happen.
Don’t even try to bring reason and logic into this.
It’s all about hate whitey and that’s all. They won’t listen to anything else.
There’s really no settling this other than CWII
The reparation has been paid….in blood
Yes, obviously.
Cori Bush is a blight upon the honor and dignity of Missouri. Y’all have to stop reelecting that turd
This would never pass it’s just designed to get some black people riled up and keep them voting Dem.
It’s not “Trauma,” it’s “Drama.”
Cori’s a Leftist woman, after all. “Drama” is all they know.
40 acres and a mule. Back in those days that was a good profitable deal. Give him land work give him a few tools to work it and they made something of it. I heard this argument just recently from a black man, he said the reparations have already been paid.
get stuffed
Madrid 1936.
When they force digital currency on everyone the reparation amount will be fabricated and credited to accounts.
How can Africans vote themselves to be millionaires off the backs of American taxpayers? This sh*t is unconstitutional.
