Should we pay Reparations for Slavery?

79. Investing in the black community with college scholarships, small business grants...

and the like would be a bargain considering the hundreds of years enslaved people worked from dawn to duck without getting paid.

Even if all that STOLEN LABOR was calculated at just minimum wage level, the principle of compounding where money doubles every seven years would take it past the amount in the US Treasury so college scholarships, small business grants, better police training so so many unarmed black men don't keep getting killed by cops would be a small price to pay.

Whites need to try to see this outside of their privileged comfort zones. The country did monstrous injustice to African Americans, Native Americans and other POCs and reparations, not individual payments, would go a long way in healing the wound that still exists and help the country from continuing to fight the Civil War.

And no one would pay themselves. Cutting the military budget by 5% for a year of two would take care of it.
