Suggested plan for reparations: $500B+ to be disbursed over 20 years to a reparations council of black leaders from different areas, from businesspeople to educators and social workers. Money to be used for purposes of educational and economic renewal as determined by the council

Too small. 10 trillion.

Why do you insist on insulting us? #ADOS have repeatedly told you that your $500B figure is entirely too low, yet you continue to attach that value to Reparations. You are hurting more than you are helping. 👉🏾"Whatever it costs, it's time to do this." youtube.com/watch?v=QmCOI9im…

Economic renewal requires more than just $. Without Black ownership of the means of production, putting money into the system is just like giving gift cards to be spent at the company store in a company town. Reparations should include controlling shares of major media & Corps.

Why are you stuck on $500B? That is not nearly enough. You have spoken with Sandy Dairty about this but you are still pushing the amount YOU want us to have.

I’m going to say we need to establish programs for education and economic renewal and to put money directly in the hands of the people. Money and power have a tendency to corrupt “leaders” and overseers.

No. This is how 👇 1 Most US banks/corporations are built on slave capital 2 These "legacy entities" pay Fed tax @ XX% + close loopholes 3 XX% goes into a #Reparations Security (like Social Security) 4 Descendants get $$$ & stock from birth Taxpayers pay $0 100% sustainable

the transcript of your earlier musings mention,. Not having 'outsiders' aka 'supposed allies' able to dictate what 'Reparations' should look like . square this circle

Not only is $500B woefully inadequate, so is the 20 year timeline. The paternalistic disbursement of funds is absolutely ridiculous. The "suggestion" is made by someone who doesn't have a grasp on what needs to be done for the repayment of this debt. #reparations #ados
