America HAS PAID reparations.
The total cost of the Great Society programs are over 7 Trillion Dollars.
And rising.
Using a rounded “Black Only” (i.e., racially 100% black; excludes mixed race) population of 44 million and a payout amount of $250 k/person, the amount to implement the doctors’ proposal is $11 trillion, about half the annual GDP of the United States.
The amount required would be less if the payout is capped at $850k per household which is equal to 3.4 persons.
The amount required goes up if the 4 million plus Americans claiming partial black ancestry are included.
To benchmark the amount, $250k is the equivalent of about 4.8 years of the average annual full time salary.
