A proposal has been making its way through the social justice sewer system to have white people pay a 5% privilege tax.
That would be a lot cheaper than the current wealth redistribution built into the tax system.
In 2004, black people made up 12% of the population and 20% of those who didn’t file taxes at all. It was estimated that 50.7% of African American households, 52% of Hispanic households and 37% of white households paid no income taxes.
The numbers would likely have only gotten worse after the recession, which destroyed large numbers of African-American jobs, and the Obama years, which traded social welfare for economic progress,
An otherwise equal tax system with a 5% white privilege tax would be an enormous improvement.

Because my people came to the North just in time to fight for the Union, I think Blacks owe me.
I am good with this, as long as we also take into account how many trillions of dollars non-whites have received in preferential treatment and monetary benefits from the government since 1964, and we can all agree to pay the difference.
We might get a good chunk of money back!
I can see them now-”Hey! I never got any of that money or preferential treatment!”
And we can say: “Hey! I never owned slaves or repressed anyone!”
It’s “Jizya”, don’t be fooled.
Calculate transfer payments, ie, welfare, & subtract that from figure owed; you should calculate a net credit.

I don’t remember Czechs or Sicilians ever owning slaves.
I want my share of the trillion or so spent in my lifetime on Blacks refunded me as it obviously wasn’t worth it.
Us white people have paid out billions in tax payer money to give many blacks better schools, free college tuition and fund other social programs. The race baiters still encourage them to stick their hands out and demand more. I bet we could pay every black in this country reparations for slavery and a year later at least half would be back on welfare.
i dont get why all these lame-ass SJW types are not given a map of D.C., listing the various african embassies that were involved in the slave trade from africa, and that sold their own blacks men and women into slavery...why are they not protesting in front of them instead, and demanding reparations?
If I recall correctly there were about 300,000 people brought here
That is almost the number of SLAVES SOLD on the Courthouse Steps in Weekly Auctions in Egypt TODAY!!!
I’m screwed. The family has been here since 1635.
My family were Northerners (PA) on my mom’s side. My dad was a legal immigrant who came here after WWII. My husband’s family were Southerners but too poor to own slaves.
They owe me.
Mine too from the same time frame. New Amsterdam area as part of the Dutch Reform Church in the Hudson Valley. Guess we’re really gonna have a bill huh?
I owe not one Red Cent.The hell with them empty hand folks.
I never owned a “slave” so why should I pay?
Uhmmmm...K.
then Blacks would pay an equal tax, as they are recipients of the benefits of a slave system.....
Would Rachel Dozeall pay?
He told me that we should be exempted.
My grandmother was a “Cherokee princess” with “high cheekbones” so I don’t owe anything but the “calculation” said I won a free 32 piece box of buffalo wings.
I owe nothing—the blood of my ancestors payed any debt wearing Union Blue, who fell besides black troops at the Crater in Petersburg! They were abolitionists and faced a great deal of problems for their stand on Black Freedom. To even suggest a joke like “white Privilege” is an insult to all who fought in Union Blue to free the slaves. It is to spit upon the memory of Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
