Proposals like this are not how a serious country would deal with these demands. Negotiation presumes a problem exists in the first place which needs to be solved. It concedes that “something” must be “done.” There is no such problem.At this point it would be wise for America to consider giving this choice to black Americans (well descendants of slaves): reparations and expulsion or continuing to be an American citizen with all rights and responsibilities but with a crackdown on activism.
Every American has a sob story, or else we’d be Europeans and Asians. Being transplanted in a slave trade is a big sob story and it was wrong - but far from unique to blacks. By feeling you deserve reparations you’re admitting you don’t feel you belong here due to your ethnic background and you being here is a glitch. Reparations corrects the glitch.
Potential scenario how this could work out - adjust for inflation 40 acres and a mules market value in 1865 and pay that in cash. But if you take it you must leave America for good. Takers of the reparations are free from whitey and America for good to go be someone else’s problem. It’s a win-win.
As a kid in the 00s racism seemed ridiculous on all sides. Blacks were just black Americans. Now I’ve noticed many blacks don’t want anything to do with white people and want to be separate. If you want reparations and to be free of whitey let’s just go our separate ways.
Here's an article from 2018 written by Ryan Faulk (Alternative Hypothesis) estimating the fiscal impact of different races in America.

Blacks cost $660 billion every year. Looks like reparations to me.
You're both wrong. A serious country would have enacted mandatory repatriation to Liberia decades ago, perhaps with a generous stipend to help them get established, but nowhere near 40 acres and a mule adjusted for inflation. Maybe around $15,000 per head of household. That would go an awful long way in Liberia.Proposals like this are not how a serious country would deal with these demands. Negotiation presumes a problem exists in the first place which needs to be solved. It concedes that “something” must be “done.” There is no such problem.
A serious country would not even acknowledge the demands. The only option would be to either conduct oneself in accordance with the law and acceptable standards of social conduct or go to prison. Upon release the convicted and and his fellow collaborators would be exiled for engaging in subversion, extortion, and revolutionary activity. That’s all.
This man knows exactly how the Chozens think. Spot on!Prediction - you heard it here first.
When there are reparations -and there will be there will be a firm hired to 'manage' redistribution. Anyone (((want to guess))) who that firm will be?
In addition to taking a 'management fee' (probably upwards of 20% - the firm, in turn will give out 'pay day' /refund "loans" to blacks waiting for their checks which. . are just taking a long time to process... They will also issue the money in some form of (((credit card))) which will of course charge a (((fee))) every time it processes. Of course there will be offers of 'all inclusive vacations - ran by so and so's cousin at the firm, weed and other things for low impulse control people to blow their money on. Suddenly most blacks will find they owe the firm interest...
My guess is it will be the fake land redistribution going on South Africa - a few crafty corrupt blacks will serve as front men for the firm and get well paid, but the average black will see a few fedbucks that's about it.
The future is very "dark" indeed.Kinda like drawing my own conclusions about the future of this country. Not good.
And to get leftists on board with this, you can use the proxy of the 1%. They're the same group of people.I am not opposed to the idea of reparations for slavery. I just believe that the main ethnic group responsible for the Atlantic slave trade should pay for it. By which I mean that specific group that coincidentally happens to have most of the wealth and power in America.![]()
