Duke University Economist Calls for $12 Trillion in Slavery Reparations

[mystery-ak]

Joshua Caplan 14 Aug 2020

Duke University economist William Darity Jr. and his wife Kirsten Mullen have co-authored a report proposing $12 trillion in reparations for Americans whose ancestors were enslaved.

The plan, written for The Roosevelt Institute, calls for between $10 trillion and $12 trillion — approximately $800,000 per African-American household — to be paid.

“[The] US government—the culpable party—must pay the debt,” the report proclaims. “Ultimately, respect for black Americans as people and as citizens—and acknowledgment, redress, and closure for the history and financial hardship they have endured—requires monetary compensation.”

The proposal has been dismissed by conservative and libertarian-leaning experts, who say it would greatly hinder economic growth.

“Our national debt is already now up to around $26-27 trillion given the money we’re spending on Covid,” said Cato Institute fellow Michael Tanner. “And we’re losing more money because we’re not picking up the revenue because economic growth is so slow right now. This hardly seems the time to burden the economy with more debt, more taxes. Essentially what you want to do is stimulate economic growth for all our benefits.”

Sure, no problem!  And, to ensure the right people are paying for the reparations, they'll be paid out in Confederate currency.

We have already cumulatively paid that over the last 60 years in programs and benefits (direct and indirect) to the African American citizens of this country to help them rise up, and take advantage of the opportunities afforded to all people here in the great country.   

Sadly, there has never been a group of people do so little with so much that was afforded them.   At some point the race baiters and apologists just need to face the fact that throwing money at a problem(so they fell all warm and fuzzy about themselves) will not make it go away.

And how much the following year?  And the year after that?

Give them a big initial lump sump award.

Give them Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis and Oakland.

Reparations for slavery have already been paid in a form more precious thatn $12 trillion of fiat currency:  the blood of Union soldiers.

I'm willing to talk about reparations for black veterans having been screwed out of the full benefits of the GI bill and VA mortgages by racist (the real meaning of the word) administration of the program and red-lining, and even have a proposal:  Anyone alive at the time the reparations bill comes into effect who can show they are the direct descendant of a black WWII or Korean War vet who either didn't get to college at all under the GI bill or went to a college ranked lower than 100th in the nation at the time, together with their natural children, get the equivalent of GI bill education benefits.  Anyone alive at the time the reparations bill takes effect who can show they are the direct descendant of a black WWII or Korean War vet gets the right to VA-type home loans for themselves and their natural children.

That pretty much tells you the value of an economic degree.

BTW,do a web search for William Darity Jr. and his wife,and you will see that Affirmative Action is still alive and unwell at Duke University.

Send the Bill to the Houses of Commons and Lords who initiated
and controlled Slavery in the Colonies for its first 180 years.
We can talk after they settle up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol. I can bet, if this 'reparations' were paid, they would come back with some asking for TRILLIONS FOR
"GOOD WILL'.  IT IS NEVER ENOUGH.  I would give to reparations, if I get paid too, for BLACK MUSLIMS HAVING MY ANCESTORS IN SLAVERY,  AT BARBARY COAST.  MILLIONS OF WHITE CHRISTIANS WERE SLAVES TO BLACK MUSLIMS.  BLACK BUSINESSMEN IN USA....USED BOTH WHITE & BLACK SLAVES.  It is AFRICA..they should be asking for reparations from. Black tribesmen sold other blacks to slave traders, who some were also, black.  CIRQUE. Then Anthony Johnson, a black man created slavery in colonies in about 1630 ish.  His indentured servant's time was paid, but he wanted to hOLD ONTO THE MAN.  He went to court and won!  FIRST SLAVE BY BLACK ANTHONY JOHNSON.  I think, some lessons are in order for most educators.  IDIOTS.

To anyone who believes ANY amount of reparations will shut the civil right racketeers mouths for even a year, I know a Nigerian Prince who will pay you plenty if you'd only send him your bank acct info.

[LegalAmerican]

When are facts going to be told?

 2 - The White Slave Trade of Africa

In this episode we look at the white slave trade in Africa, where Barbary Pirates kidnapped Europeans and sold them into slavery, attacking shipping as well as infiltrating coastal villages and islands. The episode looks at the extent this problem had on Europe and America between the 16th-19th Century.

@LegalAmerican

Not just the Barbary Pirates,either.

IIRC,the first RECORDED example of whites being kidnapped and sold into slavery in Africa were when Viking raiders hit an Irish fishing village,killed most of the adult males,and then enslaved the surviving males,the females,and the children,and took them to Africa to trade them for gold. IIRC,and this is not certain by any means,this was in the 6th Century.

BTW,we know this because those Vikings had a Muslim scribe with them on the trip. They had traded with his Emir in the past,and he wanted to go with them to learn their ways to better do trade deals,and they wanted him with them so they could learn how his people thought. IIRC,he "went native" before the trip was over,and became one of them.

And Jesus was NOT black. Neither was Santa.

Yes. I agree.  IRISH SLAVES.  The Slaves that Time Forgot.  JOHN MARTIN.  The women were made to breed with black men, to create, more & "cheaper" black slaves.  Black slaves were more expensive and valued more,  than white slaves.

WHY?  You don't want to know any facts?  I am a senior with bad eyesight.  I just type.  When cap sticks, I just go for it. trying to get my thought out.  can you hear my caps?  Something about this truth, and facts are not setting well,  for you, so you attack my typing skills. WHICH ARE VERY BAD. 

BTW..I was already done posting videos.  Just scroll past or listen to get informed.  Your choice.  I backed up everything I said.

[LegalAmerican]

Yes it does, because now the black race wants to say, they were both black.  Same as all the lies about, reparations. 
culture appropriation.  I did just happen, onto to this video.  I thought it was informative.
