There's a lot of talk about reparations but very little on specifics. No one ever says how much money, how it is to be given (payments vs lump sum) and what other things should be done in addition. It's just a lot of rhetoric. Cut the check and stuff like that without saying what exactly that...

I think this is where just creating a government agency to oversee it would be best. They have the Indian Health Service and other such agencies to oversee and administer benefits for them. I don't see any reason why they couldn't do the same for African American citizens. Then the agency will...

I like the idea about not being able to use court judgment to take the money. I don't think we should give money to anyone until they reach the age of 18. Specifically because of what you pointed out about adopting and the foster care system. As far as deciding to take a lump sum of money from...

I calculated they if we're considering it at $500k per adult to be approximately $13 trillion. That's actually far cheaper than my proposal. I calculated the payments if done for 25 years minimum to come to $156 trillion and that's before adding on people that come off age over that time. I...

Incorrect on the $40 trillion You are basing this calculation on the total number of black people in the US. If only 18+ adults received it then the number is closer to 26 million people. So it would be around $26 trillion. Otherwise I agree with most of your points. I especially like the...

Yes but how should it be implemented. Everybody always says this and no specifics. It's easy to just yell and scream but unless we start getting specific as to what we expect the conversation is going no where. Look at my next post on this thread!

He did an outstanding job on this one. I honestly always like his breakdown and explanation. The NAACP doesn't exist as an organization if black people are no longer an underclass. If black people come up and we're all doing well there is no reason for them to exist. Every thing they exist for...

Well I sort of don't have a choice given that my wife is a latina. I'm not going to act like they aren't racist though. Being around that family I see it first hand. They are as racist if not worse than white folks. Me and her have been together coming up on 18 years and her dad has spoken to...

The thing I say is that you have to consider both parts of the equation. Things have to be equal on both sides of the equation. Like in my case my initial preference was black women. I got no, not interested, I have a boyfriend, you're not my type so much from black women that I just moved on...

I never trip about it those requirements. I can meet most of that easily. If going by exact then no but unless you're a millionaire most people aren't going to meet the exacts. If going by realistically what most women mean that's reasonable it's achievable. Not going to say it's easy but...

I've nothing to be afraid of. That statement was just quite nonspecific. It's saying be afraid and no reason why.
