Pretty sure the real joke is on the captive racial cohort who are forced to silently endure the hatred and abuse of the most violent racial demographic on the planet.
If people think you owe them $151 million each, is there really any chance for coexistence?
Also, if we’re deciding payouts by race, then United States have already paid trillions in reparations to blacks. After calculating benefits, blacks are net negative tax payers to the tune of almost $8k/year, per capita. Over the course of a lifetime, the United States government will transfer an average of over half a million dollars from each white person to each black person (per capita).
I have said for a while now. If you paid reparations, it would only be a matter of days (if not less) before the usual suspects would whine about it not being enough. Also, do these black activists ever stop to think about how much more they could've improved their own life by working hard or working towards a goal and not wasting time wanting money for something they never experienced? I also wonder if they are going to demand anything from the West African countries who sold the slaves to the Europeans.
I have been beating this drum for a long time. Thomas Sowell wrote about how the black family was more intact pre civil rights era and blacks were on track to end the wealth gap around the 90s before the welfare state.
Money alone isn't enough eh? Sounds like someone wants blood.
At this point I say we drop the pretense of peace and get the violence out in the open. Make sure everyone knows what the score is. No one's allowed to stay on the bench anymore.
Funny thing, you've already given them an uncountable sum of money. They suck up the majority of welfare and entitlements spending in the country, and that number has already reached trillions just in the last fifty years.
I actually think that would make for an interesting mini-series. I can't remember his name, but he was a very wealthy black slave owner. I think a mini series about his live during and after slavery would be worth a watch.
Honestly, the only thing that the idiots clamoring for reparations should do is pick up a book by Thomas Sowell.
Someone seriously thinks we should pay $151M to every black person in the US.
Hahahahahaha.
The real joke is on whoever paid for that "study".

I was curious about what it comes to:
326.69 million Americans x 12.4% black x $151 million = $6.2 quadrillion
Based on what I found online, this is nearly 15 times the total wealth of the entire world.
So, pocket change then.
Money printer goes brrrrr...

Probably cheaper to go to war or something..
Fucking do it. Put a target on every one of the dindus.

Don't forget the inevitable purity spiral as has happened in previous cases.
Not in the classical sense of using logic and facts, they don't
That’s true. It’s much easier to demand money for things they never experienced
Fuck it, for $151M, I'll go "trans-racial".

that would require bigger frontal lobes

And suddenly the reparations movement disappears in a puff of smoke.

And just look what we have to show for it.
You'd think the race-grifters would wait until the money is in-hand before saying "not enuf, moar gibs nao."
How bout we just send all the ones whining about reparations on a one way trip to Liberia?
Irish and Italians are never getting reparations for our enslavement and maltreatment, and Slavs are currently being villified by the MSM.
i don't think africa has that much money
I know it’s naive but it boggles my mind that the west African countries who profited off of selling slaves never get any blame
Women can pay it. They lead all the race grift movements, they must feel very strongly.

Yep. I learned that from my own reading.
