A Duke University professor of economics called for $14 trillion in reparations for the descendants of American slavery this past week, which equates to approximately $350,000 per recipient.
Appearing on the “Dr. Phil” show, William Darity said cash reparations should be designed to reduce the wealth gap between white and black Americans, which currently stands “in excess of $840,000 per household,” according to Fox News.
As for where that prodigious amount of money would come from, Darity said the feds.
“It would be paid by the federal government in the same way in which the federal government has met the expenses that were paid out for the purposes of trying to deal with the great recession and also, most recently, with the economic downturn associated with the great pandemic,” Darity said. *** 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.”

“A Duke University professor of economics called for $14 trillion in reparations...”
Who hired this idiot?
Aww, come on bro… don’t be cheap; Wait another hundred years and ask for $40 trillion!
I mean.. what’s the difference, right?
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?
well I suggest the brain trust get to work on a money tree,one thaat grows money...lol. where in the Constitution does is this permissible?
Of course it's going to happen.
The road to extermination is being paved.
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
All the Civil War deaths not enough?

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.
I agree.
And how many trillion for white people that fought and DIED to free the slaves?
Exactly.
