A leading U.S. economist has called for every black household in American to receive $800,000 in reparations.Duke University economist William Darity Jr. has co-authored a report proposing $12 trillion in reparations for African-Americans whose distant ancestors were enslaved.

There are black households in America?

A whole lot of white folk died during the civil war. They freed the slaves. Other Africans had sold them to the slave traders. So white people have lots of reparations coming.

Know the enemy

In this case it's a Eddie Murphy Nutty Professor Economist look alike.

$800,000, after it is all gone, will not be enough. That’s the way it goes when money is not gained through ones own effort.

This is the very last time, right?
No more money, ever. No more affirmative action, racial quotas or calling all whites racists?
It's over, all done and we can put this ugly slavery chapter behind us for good.
Right?

I thought the 40 acres and a mule was reparations. Depending on the location, that would be about $200,000 to $400,000 today.

Imagine, getting 40 acres and a Toyota Tundra!

[Tommy Revolts]

I’ll find it somewhere.

[chopperk]

That is not enough,,,,,it should be $4.8 million....

..and how then about reparations for the 600,000 men that died in the Civil War so the slaves could be freed?

If we're to believe the confederacy amen corner at FR, the Civil War had nothing to do with ending slavery.

[attiladhun2]

About 359,000 men died to preserve the Union and end slavery. The other 250,000 died for the Confederacy.

They are on their own, no more white guilt or anything else.

best laugh all day - thanks

It’ll be gone by Saturday.

For the love of all that’s holy could these people please just get over it!

[oldasrocks]

Yep, You can pick up your check in South African dollars when you get there.

The best “reparations” would be for every black household in America to have a loving mother and father, and embrace Christ. No handouts. Just love, Christ, and liberty.

If you think Dreamer babies shouldn’t be held responsible for the decisions of their parents and also think whites should pay reparations because 300 years ago a few rich people owned slaves, you might be a Democrat.

Only if that is the last thing ever done. They are on their own, no more white guilt or anything else. When they blow all that money nothing ever again.

That's like every President UP UNTIL Trump saying, "these are the last illegals made into citizens."

Muhammad had slaves.

Even 5 year old slaves.
