Today, 93 million whites still benefit from the Homestead Act, this is about forty percentof the current white population in America.
No you really don't and:
“In 1965, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report, The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, attributed racial inequality as well as poverty and crime in the blackcommunity to family structure, particularly the prevalence of families headed by single mothers. Not only did research at the time cast doubt on this causality, but evidence over the last the 50 years demonstrates that rates of child poverty, educational attainment, and crime do not track rates of single parenthood. Thus, even though the share of children living with a single mother rose for all racial and ethnic groups through the mid-1990s and has remained high since then, school completion and youth arrests for violent crimes have declined significantly, while poverty rates have fluctuated according to economic conditions. Family structure does not drive racial inequity, and racial inequity persists regardless of family structure.”
“The median white single parent has 2.2 times more wealth than the median black two-parent household and 1.9 times more wealth than themedian Latino two-parent household.”
-Amy Traub, Laura Sullivan, Tatjana Meschede and ThomasShapiro, DEMOS, “The Asset Value of Whiteness:Understanding the Racial Wealth Gap.
You amateurs really need to quit.
How many years have blacks been forced to pay so whites could accumulate wealth? Seems that these white extremists fail to recognize this part of American history.
Citygroup did a study focusing on U.S. GDP from 2000 until 2020.The study revealed huge losses in GDP due to continuing discrimination against blacks in business revenue, education, housing credit, and income.The study determined that since the year 2000, continuing discriminatory practices in four areas resulted in aloss of 16 trillion dollars in GDP.
“Closing the Black racial wage gap 20 years ago might have provided an additional $2.7 trillion in income available for consumption and investment.
Improving access to housing credit might have added an additional770,000 Black homeowners over the last 20 years, with combined sales andexpenditures adding another $218 billion to GDP over that time.
Facilitating increased access to higher education (college, graduate,and vocational schools) for Black students might have bolstered lifetimeincomes that in aggregate sums to $90 to $113 billion.
Providing fair and equitable lending to Black entrepreneurs might haveresulted in the creation of an additional $13 trillion in business revenue overthe last 20 years. This could have been used for investments in labor,technology, capital equipment, and structures and 6.1 million jobs might havebeen created per year.”

Closing the Racial Inequality Gaps
Our ambition in this report is for this analysis to bring sober perspective as well as hope to our readers as we collectively find substantive and sustainable opportunities to address the gaps we identify.icg.citi.com
Nope, this is fact, 93 million whites still benefit from the Homestead Act.93 million whites still live on this land inherited from family?
Sounds like more made up numbers.
The issue goes far beyond slavery so it's time stupid comments about slavery stopped.What about your children and grandchildren?
Their ancestors were slaves too?
Don‘t they deserve $350,000 too?
Why should you receive it all?
Not really Coyote, but at least you're trying to present a reasonable argument based on studying the issue.I’ve thought a lot about this…reading the few actual attempts at de ate on the issue. I think there is a reasonable case that can be made for reparations to those who lived under Jim Crowe. It is clear cut, many are still alive, it was clear violation of rights by government. Afterwards, it is much harder to quantify damage done, far more ambiguous, and possibly unfair.
You led with stupid comments about slavery years agoThe issue goes far beyond slavery so it's time stupid comments about slavery stopped.
For what?I am white and I deserve reparations.![]()
Since the video went beyond slavery and you refused to watch it, you have nothing to say. And let me add that after all the whining whites like you did about AA you should not be talking about others making excuses for personal failure.You lead with stupid comments about slavery years ago
Its time for blacks like you to stop making excuses for your personal failure
You do not deserve a reward for failing to take advantage of the opportunity given to you as an AmericanSince the video went beyond slavery and you refused to watch it, you have nothing to say. And let me add that after all the whining whites like you did about AA you should not be talking about others making excuses for personal failure.
I see the fairness in that, but would the payments be funded by the federal government or by the state governments where Jim Crow Laws were in effect?I’ve thought a lot about this…reading the few actual attempts at de ate on the issue.

…. And a black American while affirmative action for college admissions was in place.You do not deserve a reward for failing to take advantage of the opportunity given to you as an American
Federal. Because even states with no official Jim Crowe had forms of segregation. The Federal government looked the other way.I see the fairness in that, but would the payments be funded by the federal government or by the state governments where Jim Crow Laws were in effect?
