Should Americans Be Sold Into Slavery to Pay Slavery Reparations?
"The U.S. government should pay $14 trillion in reparations to black Americans"
January 29, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield 4 Comments
 

California wants $569 billion in slavery reparations.

A California task force studying the long-term effects of slavery and systemic racism on black residents in the state has estimated a whopping $569 billion in reparations is owed to the descendants of enslaved people, according to a report.

But that would just be the down payment on national payments that would amount to 60% of our GDP.

To help close the racial wealth gap, the U.S. government should pay $14 trillion in reparations to black Americans, according to William A. Darity and A. Kirsten Mullen, authors of “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century.”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

The U.S. government aka American taxpayer has already paid more than 20 trillion dollars to black people in the form of welfare.
The black demographic doesn't pull their weight as far as the GDP.
It might be time for black Americans to start pulling their weight instead of being an annual half trillion dollar drag.

Reparations is destined to become the "new civil rights movement" of the twenty-first century.

Wait and see.

On government assisted programs and such, there's a graph that you can pull up on this page. (Scroll a bit to find a box, filter):

When someone, or something, other than yourself has a prior claim to the fruits of your labor, THAT is the very definition of slavery!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the income tax!
