Researchers at Harvard Medical School claim that reparations could have slashed coronavirus transmission by as much as 68 percent in Louisiana, had minority American households received as much as $850,000 each prior to the pandemic.

A group of scholars led by Dr. Eugene Richardson and Dr. Momin Malik looked at differences in frontline work and overcrowded housing by race and used it to compare Louisiana, a racially and socioeconomically diverse state, with South Korea, a more racially and economically homogenous country. Their peer-reviewed study was published by the academic journal Social Science & Medicine.

The authors proposed a "reparations plan" for descendants of slaves in the amounts of $800,000 per household or $250,000 per person, which they claim could have lessened the spread of coronavirus by helping eliminate the racial wealth gap. Though most proposals for reparations have generally been limited to the descendants of people enslaved in the United States, the researchers wrote:

"All Black Americans, both those descended from persons enslaved in the US and those who are recent immigrants to the US, have a moral claim to reparations for the effects of ongoing systemic racism."

Of course I could post a picture of a steaming manure pile, but think about it.

Again Harvard shows it’s continued decline of relevancy and worth.

Of course the only difference between black Louisianans and South Koreans is money. /s

I wonder — how do the living standards of the two groups differ? My guess is that South Koreans have less living space per person.

$800,000 per household

That's a good way to reduce the population through drug overdoses.

If they’d just pay me to stop getting Covid, I’d stop getting Covid.

I sure hope I never need any healing knowledge inculcated into a doctor trained in Harvard Medical School.

It would have been even less bad had they paid me $31,400,000,000, just because.

“”All Black Americans, both those descended from persons enslaved in the US and those who are recent immigrants to the US, have a moral claim to reparations for the effects of ongoing systemic racism.””

A lot of white Americans are descended from enslaved Africans in America, South Carolina and Louisiana having the greatest percentages at 5% or more.

I’ll pay reparations if they leave and return to the country of their ancestors. If they don’t want to do that then I guess it’s not so bad in America

As Ron White says, “you can’t fix stupid”. It is kind of fascinating how some of the these people find and keep good jobs. Some of these so-called prestigious (really expensive) schools evidently have some kind of idiot quota so that most of them can find employment.

America HAS PAID reparations.

The total cost of the Great Society programs are over 7 Trillion Dollars.

And rising.

Europe should pay it. Americans fought and died in a civil war to end the slavery that Europeans brought to this country.
