Slavery Reparations would cost $17.1 trillion

That's incorrect. That's how now damages are awarded. Since slavery never happened to anyone alive from the pre-Civil War Era and none of my dead Northerner Veterans are alive, no punative damages can be awarded: only inflation and future value costs not to exceed the cumulative wealth of the nation: it still has to exist. You can't idiotically bankrupt the nation like you're trying to do.

I did:

Man, I'm good.

You're incorrect on both your years and your "privilege."

Slavery existed in the US since the 1600s.

But my ancestors arrived in the 1700s, were not slaver owners, lived in non-slave owning states, and fought against slave ownership since the beginning. We used our own wealth to finance the abolitionist movement, as well.

Indentured servitude was a problem for some of my ancestors so we experienced the exact opposite of white privilege. If you want to bring in white privilege, most of which is a myth, then the indentured servitude costs vastly outweigh even liberal estimates of applicable white privilege.

Face it: reparations are owed to me for the sacrifices we made for this country. Black people and the Southern States owe me a massive reparations check for all the blood, money, sweat, and tears we put into this nation.

You are part of the people who benefited from my ancestors being enslaved.

Also, I'm likely 2%-5% black. So my reparations payment will be reduced a bit.

Everything you said is wrong. Sorry.

eg America wasn't America in the 1600's, we're not counting for damages and White Privilege before America existed, that'd be silly.

Otherwise I'd owe your Irish ass reparations for my long dead Roman ancestors, if we're doing a zero boundaries on slavery angle.

The fact that some of these topics even made the stage in the debate shows the amount of ass clownery involved in politics and I loved it from a comedic perspective.

So I did some numbers, 12-ish percent of 329-ish million is 41-ish million. That's how many-ish Black people are in the US. That's going to be a lot of high-end billionaires in the US and since we know billionaires are good for the economy, especially when we give them the biggest tax breaks, well, it all makes sense to do it.

Though the 41million isn't correct, as not every Black person in the US is a descendant of US slaves, some migrated long after. So that just means more ish for a smaller amount of people.

If we adjust for the proper math instead of this bad math:

360,222 northerners died.

31,443,321 population in 1860.

22,340,321 population from the North
9,103,000 population from the South.

North: 2,128,948 total who served
South: 1,082,119 total who served

Percent of Northern Population: 9.5%
Percent of Southern Population: 11.9%

Total current day population from Northern States: 173.4 million
Number after percent of Civil War families: 16.2 million

Based on the death count, inflation, future value, disability, and pain and suffering, I did a massive amount of math to come up with the true cost of reparations for the families of the North:

$32.56 trillion.

But the reparations cost will need to be split between the 40 million black Americans who descended from slaves and the Southern States: 50-50.

I need to adjust the figures:

$954,320.99 per person from the north. Since I had 2 ancestors that fought and died on the side of the north, I need a check from the black people in the amount of $954,320.99 and a check from the Southern States in the amount of $954,320.99

I'm waiting on my reparations.

No, just the territories that later become part of the USA count.

The reparations for indentured servitude go back that far, as well. There were more white indentured servants than slaves but that's not a part of US History that people like to talk about. 🙂

Already covered this: paid for tenfold via 243 (and counting) years of White Privilege

Already covered this: it's far outweighed by the indentured servitude and the lack of actual white privilege.

Nah, it's happened multiple times. Admittedly, they never pat me down or anything but I have been stopped before and asked what I was doing while simply walking.

Same.

And I got pulled over much more often when I started driving around a nice car.

It's my white "privilege" to be stopped by the police all the time for being successful.

Actually, since I've been working in Tulsa, I haven't been pulled over a single time. It's probably just OKC that's weird like that.

Pretending White privilege isn't a thing doesn't actually warp reality.

I've had this stuff happen to me as well.

Anyways, they could always go for a program targeting the poor in general...trying to close the wealth gap. It could be colorblind and blacks would still benefit a lot.

But nope, they gotta virtue signal.

While this is logical, programs like that would disproportionately go to the white population because they have the highest percent of poor people and the largest raw numbers of poor children by far. It would cause a massive outcry despite the fact that African Americans use a simple majority of welfare despite being only 12% of the population, currently.

"That's a myth, dadudemon, and it has been debunked." The debunking was the actual myth, actually, and it's comfortably in the simple majority and has been for years. 👆

Well it would prove they don't really care about blacks, cuz blacks would still massively benefit.

It would also show racism against whites.

That's where you're wrong, bucko.

Latinos are about equal with African Americans but greatly outnumber them.

By percentage, Native Americans have the greatest poverty.

So the benefits would lessen for African Americans significantly and increase for Whites, Latinos, and Native Americans.

That's hardly the progressive position Virtue Signaling Demtards would went to do. Wait, they would: they don't about black people and are pretending to care about Latinos, these days. Maybe this is what they really want?

It would help the black community, it'd be better than nothing cuz they sure as shit won't be getting reparations lol.

Woah, for a second I thought I somehow ended up on Stormfront or similar.

Well Rob, on the bright side...you do still have 15 minutes to edit that post.

Edit perfection? Don't be silly.

Anyhow, tell me more about this reparations for poor people idea of yours? What are you basing this one? Why are they owned this?

Seems like you're for this because it would target poor Whites more and well, you know.

Nah they whine about the wealth gap, fine. Let's target it in a way that is colorblind.

And I have no personal stake in this, but if they wanna close the wealth gap...do it in a colorblind way.
