Zone1 REPARATION NOW! The US Owes $350,000 To Every Black American

[Michelle420]

Germany paid reparations to surviving Jews who suffered through concentration camps and watched as their spouses and children were marched to their deaths.

I agree that any surviving slaves should be compensated for their suffering.

Yes and we should have done that to surviving slaves, we promised we would give land and we didn't we did not do a darn thing. We still owe it and anyone whose dna matches a slave should get it.

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

The issue IS going away because any white politician that tries to give people who were never slaves money taken from people who never held slaves wouldn't last long enough in office to finish writing the bill. Politicians are sociopaths and the only thing important to them is their power and they know damn well they'd lose it in a heartbeat if they tried to give reparations. You and your few friends are flogging a dead horse and being used by those white sociopath politicians to enhance their power. The sooner you figure out that you are being used the better it will be for you.

The issue of slavery reparations isn't going away. African slaves created the foundational wealth of this country. The USA wouldn't be a rich, first world country today if it hadn't been for the free 254 years labor of African slaves. African-Americans are not going to forget that.
And even after legalized slavery was over, African-Americans were still marginalized by Jim Crow laws. I know you'd like us to just let bygones be bygones---but that aint going to happen.

Thank you.

The non-slave owning colonies had a choice, a nation that owned slaves, or no nation at all. The Slave owning colonies refused to sign anything eliminating slavery. After the Constitution was signed, the slave-owning states used the economic and political power of their slaves to dominate the US government until the eighteen fifties or so when white immigration finally overcame the advantages that the three fifths compromise gave the slave-owning states.
Perhaps it would have been better for blacks if the United States had never come into existence. Then the British could have paid the slave owners for their property just like they eventually did in the Caribbean nations and you and your friends would be living like the blacks do on those islands. Of course, we would all be ruled by King Charles today since without the example of the US breaking away from the Crown, the power of the UK would never have been broken and the King would still rule most of the world. The sun still wouldn't set on the British Empire. You tell me if that world would be better or worse than the one we live in today.

They should have opted for no nation at all. Here we are 400 years later and the ugly after effects of slavery are still with us. Since slavery/White Supremacy was woven into the fabric of the USA, (the Constitution) I believe reperations are the only way to make amends.

I support reparations we can stop sending money to other Countries and support people in our own Country

This makes sense.

Again, time to repeat a lesson, because some people just don't want to get it.

ALL RISE!

This afternoons lesson:

Americans Wealth Was Built With the Bodies of Slaves!

“But lack of clarity about history is also a tragedy for greater society, because it leads to a false confidence about the simplicity of rectifying racial injustice through appeals to personal goodness rather than structural intervention.”
-Emily Walton

“By a conservative estimate, in 1860 the total value of slaves was at least ten times more than the gold and silver then circulating nationally($228.3 million, “most of it in the North,” the authors add), total currency($435.4 million), and even the value of the South’s total farmland ($1.92billion). Slaves were, to slavers, worth more than everything else they could imagine combined.”

If you equate that in modern dollars slaves were worth more than 16 billion in cash, and more than 71 billion as property. That is a conservative estimate, meaning the amount could be far more. In 1860, Slaves were worth more than the gold, silver, total U.S.currency, plus all the farmland in the South combined in 1860, but did not receive a dime.

During slavery, wealthy slave owners created and sold slave-backed securities.

In the 1830s, powerful Southern slaveowners wanted to import capital into their states so they could buy more slaves. They came up with a new, two-part idea:mortgaging slaves; and then turning the mortgages into bonds that could be marketed all over the world.

First, American planters organized new banks, usually in new states like Mississippi and Louisiana. Drawing up lists of slaves for collateral, the planters then mortgaged them to the banks they had created, enabling themselves to buy additional slaves to expand cotton production. To provide capital for those loans, the banks sold bonds to investors from around the globe — London, New York, Amsterdam,Paris. The bond buyers, many of whom lived in countries where slavery was illegal, didn’t own individual slaves —just bonds backed by their value. Planters’ mortgage payments paid the interest and the principle on these bond payments. Enslaved human beings had been, in modern financial lingo, “securitized.”

As slave-backed mortgages became paper bonds, everybody profited — except, obviously, enslaved African Americans whose forced labor repaid owners’ mortgages. But investors owed a piece of slave-earned income. Older slave states such as Maryland and Virginia sold slaves to the new cotton states, at securitization-inflated prices, resulting in slave asset bubble. Cotton factor firms like the now-defunct Lehman Brothers — founded in Alabama — became wildly successful. Lehman moved to Wall Street, and for all these firms, every transaction in slave-earned money flowing in and out of the U.S. earned Wall Street firms a fee.

The infant American financial industry nourished itself on profits taken from financing slave traders, cotton brokers and underwriting slave-backed bonds. But though slavery ended in 1865, in the years after the Civil War, black entrepreneurs would find themselves excluded from a financial system originally built on their bodies.
-Edward E. Baptist and Louis Hyman, American Finance Grew on the Back of Slaves

Slavery made the U.S. a lot of money and most of that money went into the new technological advancements that led to the industrial age. It is money on which the compound interest today has kept America rich.

Negroes tend to be less affluent than whites because they tend to be less intelligent. They tend to be more affluent than Negroes in black majority, black run countries in Africa and the Caribbean, because they benefit from living in a civilization superior to anything they have created on their own.

Consequently we owe Negroes nothing. They owe us.

You owe us a minimum of 15 trillion dollars.

So understand this racist idiot, if blacks are so dumb, why have whites like you spent the last 400 years trying to stop us? If black countries were so uncivilized why do white run to live in them? Whites colonize Africa because Europe didn't have the resources. Potatoes aren't diamonds or gold son.

I'll tell you the answer son, because you're scared. Racism isn't built on superiority white ---, it's built on insecurity. You ain't nothing but an insecure little incel punk typing on a computer inside your mommas trailer.

You owe us money. And it will be paid. The government will pay in cash, or the lord will make you pay in disaster money for the destruction that comes because of whites like you.

Keep dreaming.
I wouldn't give you 21¢.

On second thought---

---here's a quarter. 4 cents tip.

Keep the change.

Stop you from what? We freed you from slavery. We passed civil rights legislation to give you equal rights. We have given you trillions dollars in welfare money to raise your illegitimate children.

There will NEVER be reparations, or if there is, it will be a modest amount (perhaps $5k a year) to people 60 and up who lived in Jim Crow states.

This talk about $350k per black, or $850k per black, or a bazillion trillion per black, is all race-baiting talk to get blacks to be angry over something they never experienced - and for the purposes of division.

The truth is that blacks today should be thanking their lucky stars their ancestors were forced to come here, just as I am glad my ancestors fled antisemitism in Europe. Had the blacks’ ancestors not been sent on slave ships, they would have had a much worse life in Africa. Had my ancestors not fled antisemitism, I would have had no life at all, nor my parents.

What you won't give doesn't matter. The goverrnments owe us.

America wouldn't have been in the hole had white men not deprived blacks, indigenous "Americans," Asians, Hispanics, and white women, of fair pay and fair opportunity. This money paid for reparations will be recycled back into the American economy, and it will eliminate some of the spending for public assistance that was caused in the first place by white racism.

This matter will not be decided by you. This is a matterr of spiritual law.

Reparations will be paid. Or America will be destroyed. Not by mans hand, but watch as the natural disasters increase on this country.

Then you are just shit out of luck. Get behind the Indians, then the Mexicans.

America wouldn't have been in the hole had white men not deprived blacks, indigenous "Americans," Asians, Hispanics, and white women, of fair pay and fair opportunity.

Name one country in the world which has never deprived anyone, taken anything, and always given fair pay and opportunity. You've been more than already fairly recompensated with your American citizenship and opportunity same as which allowed Obumma to rise to the highest office in the land. What have you done with yours? And Even Obumma didn't give you jack.

This money paid for reparations will be recycled back into the American economy

Paying out 21 trillion dollars, there will be no American economy. And if there is still, your $350K won't be worth $3.50.

it will eliminate some of the spending for public assistance that was caused in the first place by white racism.

Giving out free money to freeloaders who have proven themselves incapable of supporting themselves is racism?

This matter will not be decided by you.

I'm afraid it is. I am the consciousness of America.

This is a matterr of spiritual law.

Then, you have my prayers, for you are in for one sorry-ass rude awakening.

Reparations will be paid.

Already have been.

Or America will be destroyed.

Your kind have already done so. Welcome to your good work. Either way, you ain't getting shit. Destroying America will just bring further blame and heat on your sorry ass. People have had all they will take.

Not by mans hand, but watch as the natural disasters increase on this country.

Yeah, right. God will smite us now for not paying out extortion to your lazy ass.

 

[IM2]

Nobody is out of luck but you.

The government owes. The government will pay.

Reparations are coming and if you don't want to pay a second time, you will lets us have the money so we can build the communities you racists destroyed.

You mean the communities the BLM savages destroyed.

Took 10 years to rebuild the burnt out sections of DC after the 1968 riots.
