    14 Trillion......:roflol:

    How much is that per person?

    They will start multiplying like rabbits for that type of cash.

    The fathers will probably even show up wanting a portion of their children’s cash.

    Haitians & Jamaicans will suddenly become African Americans.

    Make sure Michael Jordan, and Lebron James get their cash.

    Why not just offer up Liberia again. If these folks really don't like it here, feel that they are that disenfranchised let them leave. Fly them there first class. Good riddance.

    14 trillion?

    No sh*t. They've lost their damn minds.

    If they want the world to be white vs black, fine, let's start with no white tax money used to pay for black welfare or affirmative action.

    Then there's this from the article: "“If this money goes into pockets like the [coronavirus] stimulus checks ... that money is going to return back to the economy” in the form of consumption. There will also be more black-owned businesses, he added." Great, more black-owned businesses they can burn to the ground the next time they have a tantrum and want to go looting.

    I have always been an outspoken supporter of racial equality and have eschewed racism for as long as I've been alive. But this crap has pissed me off. It's like a big slap in the face to the people like me who've stood up for blacks, only to have them turn around and live up to every damn negative stereotype we've been fighting for decades.

    People wonder why they're thought of as thugs? Look at them acting like thugs. The next time someone says black folks are thugs, I might just throw up my hands and say f**k it, why waste my breath on a defense. And the next time someone from the black community comes to me wanting help with a black community project or charity, hell, I'll probably still help, but not as much, and not with the same happy heart as before. Don't stab us all in the back because you're mad about what one police officer did. One. Police. Officer. Jesus you f***ing thugs and small-minded selfish losers, you want nationwide riots because of what ONE MAN DID. I guess they don't teach "perspective" in the hood.

    *******n I'm pissed.

    Hey the US treasury has unlimited capacity to print 3 Trillion $ at the drop of a hint of seasonal flu, so why not just go ahead and send out another 14 Trillion worth of Trump checks to anyone who has a relative somewhere in their family tree , who was a slave

    which is... EVERYONE ;)

    Robert Johnson is a billionaire. How much of that is he sharing with his fellow oppressed blacks?

    That's a little extreme, but they should at least be facing arrest, fines, and jail time if possible. Throw the book at them. They need to learn there are consequences for their actions. What they are doing is not acceptable, and we need to quit turning a blind eye. It's shameful how these [liberal, generally] mayors prefer to just "let them vent". Hell no. Arrest them, fine them, jail them, throw the book at them.

    This is NOT how you protest.

    I don't think it's extreme at all. They hate the country and everyone in it. We wouldn't let the Taliban run around setting fires and looting

    I believe if my Math is correct, $14 Trillion divided by 40 Million = $350,000 in Reparations for every Black person in the United States.

    Do the people who captured and sold the slaves have to pay? On the flip side, it would be cheaper just to pay the moving costs back to Africa of anyone who thinks they arrived in this country unjustly.

    Absolutely not. There is no more need for reparations.

    Luckily I doubt dems will have the power to pass anything like this for decades at the very least.
