The American Black is the most coddled, spoiled race in human history. Since the ending of slavery in this country well OVER $15,000,000,000.00 has been spent on the blacks by our government in the form(s) of welfare, daycare, food, clothing, utilities, education, recreation, medical care, et ct. Now they can even commit crimes and expect not to be held accountable for their actions. Enough is enough.

Where are my reparations from the blacks that had all the jobs on the plantation while my ancestors had to eek out a living in the woods of West Virginia and Kentucky. We could have been millionaires if the blacks had not taken our jobs

Daaaaang... all the EBT, welfare, tax credits, etc PLUS the value of all that affirmative actions damn well exceeds 14 Trillion.

A wasted non productive taxpayer investment flushed down the toilet.

Go back to the tribes who SOLD the slaves who came to America, Johnson. You will not be missed.

That guy would be better with a sock with two rolls of quarters in it, swung intensely at his head.

OK then let’s do reparations, but this way.

Any living person who was a slave in America can receive reparations. Funded by anyone who was an American slaveholder.

That should take care of it...

There ought to be 2 options on this:

1. Take ‘reparations’ (MINUS all the money in welfare, etc. that your family received over the last 60 years), WITH the proviso that you are forever ineligible for ANY US taxpayer funded ‘welfare’, for the rest of your life.

2. Accept a ticket to a third world s&@t hole of YOUR choice, anywhere in Africa

Joke’s on him: $14T in US dollars will soon be Zimbabwe money.

So US population about 330 million.

Black population is about 12%

That’s 39.6 million people

14 trillion / 39.6 mil = about $353,535 per person.

If you’ve never been good with money, or never had that amount of money, it can go to your head and be gone in just a couple years if you’re not focused. And you’re right back where you started. Nothing achieved.

I wonder if he knows who the first legal slave owner in the New World was?

You know, the black one, Anthony Johnson

"Not to mention minimized admission standards and increased job opportunities due to affirmative action."

Those same affirmative action hires have led to the decline and degradation of all public and private institutions.

And where exactly does that money come from?

Even confiscatory taxation on the wealthy whom radicals want to tax heavily, would not net $14 trillion. At least not all at once.

And just suppose every black person in America suddenly has over $300,000 in reparations money. Some will spend that money foolishly. suppose someone squanders their reparations money, and then they are poor again, and back to grappling with poverty. What then?

Everything, EVERYTHING, would look EXACTLY as it does in TWO YEARS or less.

That's why even Bob says don't give it directly to the gibmes.

But anyway Bob can go get it if he's man enough to take it -- America's wealth is all in China, go get it from Xi.

Maybe hang from the Shanghai Tower and swat at some planes lofl...

I think that that is, adjusted for inflation of course, just about what the war between the states rung in at.
Not counting the additional trillions spent on welfare and the war on poverty over the past 150 or so years, seems as though it ought to be a wash.

Penitent Egyptians gave them some gold as they were emancipated; that serves as a small down payment.

He’s a billionaire and head of a segregated network.

How far would he have gotten if there had never been slavery or a civil war or “Great Society” in America?

where would he be today and how much money would he have?
