'From Here to Equality' Author Makes A Case, And A Plan, For Reparations​

When slavery ended, the disenfranchisement of African Americans did not. Discrimination continued in jobs, housing, education — barriers that have contributed to the staggering economic inequality that persists in the country today.

In a new book, economist William Darity Jr. makes the case for reparations as an answer to closing the racial wealth gap.

From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century, written by Darity and his wife, A. Kirsten Mullen, offers a roadmap on how to implement reparations for descendants of enslaved people.

Speaking with NPR, Darity said that while support for education and entrepreneurial activity should be part of any reparations plan, "the preponderance" of funds must go to individual recipients. "And they must go in such a way that we in fact eliminate the racial wealth gap," he said.

You are correct, Thomas Sowell just happens to be the smartest Black economist.

 

[MisterBeale]

While I am not sure this will solve the problem you are trying to address. . . nor am I at all certain this is yet Constitutional.

This is, by fair, the most logical and sane proposal you have yet made...

This would exclude people like Obama and Kamala Harris, who never had claim to any slave in their ancestry from receiving reparations.



I have often suspected, that much of the institutional, government and MSM support for the reparation narrative, is because the folks that stand to gain the most, are the vulture capitalists, the banks, and the debt collectors.

I had once worked in that business, and most of my business was dealing with the black community. If they had had reparations checks at that time, and I could have just filed garnishment orders? Hell, my job would have been a breeze.



Whether these debts are subject to credit cards, payday loans, banks, etc., once reparations are approved by the government, no sooner will they be signed off by the congress and president, but the corporate lawyers will seek to garnish all of these payments, and the lower class black community won't ever see a dime. This money will all just end up back on Wall-street, just wait and see. . .

These reparations will all be deposited right into the accounts of Goldman Sachs and Citibank.

I have long thought, that much of the propaganda we see on this issue, comes from highly funded foundations, the interlocking directorate, and the corporate banks, because, in the end, it is they who stand to profit the most should this effort succeed.

Unskilled, uneducated, unemployed blacks aren't poor because they're black.

Veteran benefits had nothing to do with slavery or complicity with slavery.

You really need too stop listening to white race hustlers. Because iit has always been a belief that the very rich blacks would probably turn down a reparation check. But why shoukd they when white billionaires are annually cashing in the government subsidies they get?

 

[IM2]

Unskilled, uneducated, unemployed blacks aren't poor because they're black.

More than likely they are. Until you turn black and live, your opinion is worthless.

 

[IM2]

Veteran benefits had nothing to do with slavery or complicity with slavery.

I think Willian Darity knows more about this than you.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

More than likely they are. Until you turn black and live, your opinion is worthless.

I'd be a skilled, educated, employed black man.
Not because I'd be black.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

I think Willian Darity knows more about this than you.

He did a very poor job of explaining what one has to do with the other.

 

[IM2]

I'd be a skilled, educated, employed black man.
Not because I'd be black.

You would be a skilled black man possibly unemployed or underemployed. And if you were employed, you'd be paid less than a white man with your qualifications. Make certain you don't buy a new car because you will be followed and stopped by police for a while.

I have to laugh because you think everything will be the same even as you exhibit racist behavior yourself.

 

[IM2]

He did a very poor job of explaining what one has to do with the other.

No he didn't. But you'll never admit he is right.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

No he didn't. But you'll never admit he is right.

Right about what?
Military benefits for Union soldiers have zero to do with slavery.

Recognizing that unskilled, uneducated, unemployed people have less wealth than skilled, educated, employed people isn't racist.

“The North did give in and I think that the North gave in, in part, because the price for providing full citizenship to black Americans would have meant having a sustained and long-term division among white Americans, because the price for achieving full citizenship for black Americans would have meant deconfederatization in full.”

Oh FFS “deconfederatization”? To quote Dolemite, “Bitch, are you for real?”

It's all crap as you know...
" There is some outright revisionist history. The main culprit here is the claim that slavery ended in England in 1772 and that a major motivation of the American Revolution was fear that Americans would lose the right to own slaves because of this. This claim was also stated in the 1619 Project and forced to be corrected. "

I go with Harvard Black Professor Henry Louis Gates in deploring the lying dishonesty of the whole project

"The historians John Thornton and Linda Heywood of Boston University estimate that 90 percent of those shipped to the New World were enslaved by Africans and then sold to European traders. The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred."

Blacks before Obama: A mind is a terrible thing to waste
Blacks after Obama: Math is racist, we're owed reparations!

Suitable for framing and prominent display.....
