New York Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman is co-funding a $14 trillion reparation bill against the federal government, citing ongoing systematic racism, American slavery, and the aftermath of it.

The bill, HR 414, would support the National Publishers Association, the National Association of Black Broadcasters, and the “restoration of voting rights for persons currently or previously incarcerated,” while providing free college education for Black Americans at the 107 HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) across the nation.

Old: After the first Civil War “forty acres and a mule” was a federal government plan to redistribute land after the Civil War and ease the economic hardship that African Americans suffered as a result. As Northern armies moved through the South at the end of the war, blacks began cultivating land abandoned by whites. —history

New: $14 trillion reparations charged to people today who were not alive in the 1800s.

Give a “n” an inch, he’ll take a mile. “Reparations” - just another black shakedown.

Forty acres and a mule and a lot of spilt blood has already covered the topic.

Let's see...$14 trillion .... divided by 41 million blacks...is $341,000 per black person?

For comparison, as of 2014 (50th anniversary of LBJ's welfare state) we've spent $22 trillion for the poor (not counting SSI and Medicare).

And we're supposed to believe that another $14 trillion will make a difference?

And oh yeah, 23% of welfare recipients are black (well above their portion of the population), but we're not supposed to count that as reparations for slavery that most whites had nothing to do with anyway?

I propose that every person, & their family’s, who benefited from Affirmative Action” pay reparations to people, & their family’s, who were more qualified but denied jobs, because of Affirmative Action.

Would Levar Burton (a descendant of Confederate blood) have to pay extra for his share?

They would all be broke after getting their money.
Invest now in gold bling, Escalades, 22 inch rim companies, and menthol cigarette makers.

If they got paid a DIME they would hate the hand that gave it to them even more. There’s nothing like being a kept pet to make one resentful and hateful Of the keepers.

What happened to the FIRST $20 trillion? Where did it go?

My thoughts exactly. Why not just make it an open ended transaction going forward?
