This is a great post! What do you think about something like 100 years of basic income and 100% tax relief? I know it sounds crazy, but we should go big!
Reparations isn't simply "amends" & "backpay" (slavery isn't "unpaid labor"), it's the unequivocal surrender of white institutional power, the dismantling of it's tools, & reclamation of foundational corporate & bank capital. There is no Reparation without the discussion of POWER

It can be done 👇🏽 1 Most US banks/corporations are built on slave capital 2 These "legacy entities" pay Fed tax @ 7X% + end tax loopholes 3 XX% goes into a #Reparations Security (like Social Security) 4 Descendants get $$$ & stock from birth Taxpayers pay $0 100% sustainable

This is so obviously true to those on a path towards being human...For others, all they can see is a threat to their property and privilege and the wall of ignorance they hide behind to ignore the historical legacy - the generational economic, emotional, physical and cultural

We killed 95% of the Native American population and they are still sequestered on reservations, but I don't hear your mouth flapping about them. Not hip enough?
