So that 340,000k he wants to give out would be more like 80,000. Over 30 years that’d be less than 3k a year and only a little more than $200/mo which they can and already get through welfare programs. NEXT

    Robert L Johnson's idea of reparations for slavery is wrong on so many levels. While contrition, amends and giving are noble, virtuous ideals, reparations for slavery is abjectly inaccurate, marxist, impossible, counterproductive and dishonest. First of all, we know now that people are not black and white. We are all different shades of the same color. There is one race: The Human Race. Secondly, Americans did not invent slavery. Some wealthy Americans took part in slavery hundreds of years ago, when they had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and environment that they were thrust into. Slavery has been around for thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands. While slavery was real, and does cause multigenerational loss, slavery has never been an institution in our generation, or even our parent's generation. There is no way to determine or prove the lineage or damages. There is no way to fairly account or distribute such reparations. There is no way to prove race, as race does not exist objectively in any scientific manner. Today, every able bodied American of every skin tone has similar opportunities to study in school, get a degree in science, engineering, law, medicine or many other career fields that provide ample ability to work productively, to buy a home and live the American dream.

So how about you take care of yourself and don’t rely on the government to take care of you because the rest of us taxpayers bare the brunt, but your ignoranus butt will never understand what that means. If it is a race thing we’ll it can only be because your racist and you can’t see take truth froM an outsider because your racism gets the best of you and those are facts.

    The black community has already gained a lot, simply by being in USA, rather than back home in Africa. I can assure you that they have way more opportunities than people living in other countries, like India, where I come from. In fact, it's foolish to even think that they face a lack of opportunities, being in the US. Secondly, it's incorrect to even blame slavery on the white population of USA. Slave trade was conducted by Black slave traders in Africa, who used to capture other black people, whom they considered lesser and sold them off to white traders and traders from middle east. For those still wondering, yes, there are many different 'castes'/'races' of black people in Africa, like Hutu and Tutsi, who absolutely hate each other. Even the blacks living in South Africa aren't a single native race, but have migrated from several different regions in Africa.

That's illogical. The mere fact that other groups (indians, japanese, jews, vietnamese) have been given various allotments by the u.s. for their pain & suffering, already weakens your argument. Blacks contributed significantly more than those other groups towards the initial economic development of this country, even long before 1776 via death & free slave labor. This is a fact.

      Reparations according to God: Isaiah 14:21-23 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord.

    My family fought in the north to free the slaves... So many of them shed their blood for the slaves to be free and I believe that losing their life for the slaves freedom was above and beyond the price they paid. No other payment needed as they got their freedom through my forefathers blood! Don’t tell me that isn’t payment enough!!!!!!!!

      That isn't payment enough because it doesn't make up for thousands of blks who lost their life, and spent hundreds of years as slaves, no that is not enough because there was so much free wealth gained from slavery money was gotten off the backs of slaves for hundreds of years .. freedom is the bare minimum.
