The recent penalty for good credit borrowers was the opening Salvo fired in this battle.

Can we subtract the 14T from all the other handouts some blacks collected in the last 50 years?

OK, let’s deduct expenses:
1) extra police and prisons
2) welfare and foodstamps
3) free housing and health care
4) riot cleanup

What the heck? He’s a good poster boy to NOT have reparations. Reason being, he is a black man who has a high position, as a professor at a major university. He is definitely NOT grappling with the legacy of slavery.

A professor of economics doesn’t know how much a trillion is? Seems about right.

Sorry. Blacks will get to the back of the bus soon. There are more illegal immigrants set to vote in 2024. Biden has hired Julie Chavez Rodriguez (granddaughter of Ceasar Chavez) as his campaign manager. Guess who she’s talking to?

As long as they give the same amount, per person, to each and every person who descends from a family whose sons/brothers/fathers fought to free blacks. As someone else said “why not eleventy jillion”?

I was thinking about gigatrillions but I’m sure we can come up with something equally reasonable/s

Phil had said that “from a psychological perspective that if you take $350,000 or $840,000, and you write a check to any group of people […] and say, ‘There you go. Best of luck.’ You come back in six months. They’re going to be broke.”

For $14 trillion, we should just buy a mid-sized sub-Saharan country and give American black folks a choice: stay, agree to no more special pleading and accept race neutrality; or leave, accept a relocation payment, and never come back.

Of course, the gimmedats would take the money and show up on the southern border in six months, claiming to be refugees.

Ladies and Genglemen: You are wirnessing the workers of the brain of someone who has his job solely on the basis of affirmative action. What an idiotic proposal. Make it on your own, you fool. The doors have been wide, wide open for any and all blacks - with gigantic room to spare and scandalously- relaxed standards for admoission to the best schools, the best professional schools, etc, for more than half a century. Is it that you, Mr. Professor, are projecting your own lack of ability onto all blacks? Shame on you, Mr. Shake-Down Artist Race-Baiter.
