Chappelle pretty much nailed how it would go if there ever was Reparations.

To: JV3MRC; All
The US taxpayers have funded the War on Poverty to the tune of $22 trillion (amount as of 2014) since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (50 years) was passed to fight poverty under Lyndon Johnson.

I'd say we have overpaid the requested $14 trillion for reparations by $8 trillion plus whatever has been spent since 2014 to the current date. Let's estimate that amount at $6 trillion more, so a total of $28 trillion has been funded by the taxpayers already.

So subtract your $14 trillion in reparations from the $28 trillion already spent and the black community owes the US Treasury $14 trillion in overpayments. This is money owed to the US Treasury for not using it to overcome poverty and racial inequality. As far as I can tell, we're not any better off today than we were in 1964 when it comes to those two issues. Money spent down a rat hole, as will reparations be. It would be gone in just a few months if ever paid outright.

So Mr. Johnson, we have paid your requested $14 trillion plus some which you owe back to the taxpayer. We can now cancel all poverty programs from this point going forward, BLM can disband their organization, as can the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, etc. And let's not hear one more word from blacks about the US owing them money or them being unequal because of slavery and alleged mistreatments in the past.

From now on, everyone is equal as everyone else and this racial inequality crap is in the rear view mirror. It's over with. Maybe you can start the ball rolling with the repayment of the overpaid funds back to the treasury by donating your $550 million dollar net worth. You seem to be all of the sudden, a little more equal than the majority of your fellow black members of this society. Remember, we don't want any more "inequality". We want "equality". So put YOUR money where your mouth is.

I think they have already gotten their 14 trillion over the course of the past 50 years..”””

Over the past 60 +++ years, we have spent over 22 TRILLION $$$ on supporting people who now represent a FERAL ARMY that hates us.

NO MORE.
