The US should pay reparations for slavery in the form of $100B given to educational and economic renewal in the black community, just as Germany paid $89B in reparations to Jews after WW2 & the US paid $20,000 in reparations to each surviving victim of Japanese internment camps.

Not sure that there is a way to calculate the return on investment. This may be a tougher sell than a carbon tax
Replying to @marwilliamson
Money spent on reparations should be spent in a way that's decided by Black people (Native people). And it should be an ongoing thing that lasts at least until U.S. society stops harming Blacks (Natives) in the present.

Also if the US is carrying $5Trillion in debt to itself - then nation can pay $6-$13 Trillion
Replying to @marwilliamson
How would they pay it?
