If you did the math of the 40 acres and a mule, given that there was 4 to 5 million slaves at the end of the Civil War, and they were all promised 40 acres and a mule for every family of four, if you did the math today, it would be trillions of dollars. #Reparations #BigTruth

And I believe that anything less than $100 billion dollars is an insult and I believe that $200 to $500 billion is politically feasible today... #BigTruth #Reparations #Marianne2020 #DemDebate

...because so many Americans realize there is an injustice that continues to form a toxicity underneath the surface, an emotional turbulence that only reparations will cure. #Reparations #DemDebate #BigTruth

So who gets the money? Do the recipients have to prove they descended from American slaves?

And what about being open to ideas that you hadn’t thought of? How is money (or anything) the ONLY path toward healing? Doesn’t a teacher of God embody open mindedness? What about a truth and reconciliation commission, as per Nelson Mandela? What about modeling real forgiveness?

...and how about the So Cal segregation and prejudice suffered by my relatives so their children could advance and prosper? The stories of the barrios are brutal....this philosophy insults other minorities.....people forgot California's deep seated prejudice......#1950's

Honest question, seeking your spiritually informed viewpoint: how does money resolve toxicity & emotional turbulence? What makes it the right tool for the job?
