has put a price tag on slavery reparations for black Americans. The final bill for U.S. taxpayers will come to about $14 trillion — and that, one “expert” says, is letting America off easy.New York Times
‘ Nikole Hannah-Jones and William Darity Jr., a Duke University professor and proponent of social “equity.”Darity estimates that each individual should receive about $350,000 in reparations. Since there are 40 million black-American descendants of slavery out of a total of 45 million black people in the United States, the total bill would be approximately $14 trillion dollars.“Yeah, there are bigger numbers though,” Darity replies. “It is a big debt.
Lol
Hmm….while I don’t believe there’s any humane excuse for what happened here a couple hundred years ago, if reparations are owed, does that mean that African American celebrities should have to return the billions earned as a result of being in America?
Slavery did NOT build America. In 1830, Alexis de Tocqueville observed that slavery had the opposite effect on the South. It caused economic stagnation. He wrote about it in 1835....
I DO THINK I’LL SELL ALL MY DISNEY STOCK……….. THEIR STANDARDS ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO MINE!!
The whole idea of reparations is ridiculous paying for something as horrible as it was, hey we today had no part in it and there are no surviving the event,THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO JUST CANNOT PLAYING THE VICTIM, IT IS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD NOT BACK, WHEN WILL THIS EVER STOP
F Disnee and ...
My polish ancestors have been slaves . Give me money and ive been a debt slave most of my life
Who gives a flyin Fu?k what any American wants? When do Americans get what they want? There are many people needing much more with much less but harmed more that wouldn’t attempt to get something for nothing. England developed American slavery 100 yrs before it’s prohibition.
shame on Disney for taking a book of revisionist history and making a series. Just another reason they brought back Iger. They are losing so much money with their wokeness and now have to figure out how to get back to ' family' entertainment POTUS elonmusk
How very wrong let's take a real look and investigate the so called 1619 project...hmm do we also give all Indian tribes their land back....
I wonder what her white mother would say about her her viewpoints. I watched with an open mind. Some interesting facts throughout and definitely some sad and appalling truths however my family is Japanese and all they got was $10k in reparations vs. her $300k mentioned
Another stupid idea.
I never owned a slave ,and we fought a war to free one in our country has ever been a slave in this day and time.
WTF-This country has gone insane
We should double the amount or possible triple it. It's only fair.
I’m canceling Hulu. What about the American Indians who were bought wiped out their children taken out of their homes? What about the Irishman Italian that suffered so horribly? Where is the reparations? I’m sick of hearing about this.
Slavery abolished by Lincoln in 1865. So how can people justify reparations from something they did experiences 150 years ago. This generations of blacks did not experience. The black warlords in Africa that had black slaves in Africa sold to shippers did see this coming.
This is literally give them a inch, and they will demand your house next.
Who's paying for the 'ancestry' investigations to see who had slavery in their history..because not all did?
You deserve no reparations. You deserve to pay all the money back from welfare since the 1960s.
Good grief. 🤬🤬🤬
Good luck.
Only a fool would bother calculating this stuff. Lets go full BLM Marxist.Confiscate PELOSI, wealth Kerry's, Obama's , James wealth, McConnell and the Clinton's have etc... introduce a bill in Congress to nationalize their wealth and you'll C how fast they become capitalists.
The people bought and brought to America from Africa should have been glad to be saved.
Why are people being punished for things they had absolutely nothing to do with
Of course it’s all about the Benjamins
Any and all slavery reparations were paid for many years ago with the blood of mostly white Union soldiers.
What about paying back all the small businesses that were stolen from during black lives matter protests? Bet they wont!
Don’t even try.
Its sad that history be rewritten by by an activist lining her pockets. The African leaders sold them. Vikings stole them, its all wrong. This is a Robin Hood scam.
Go after your black ancestors in Africa who sold your descendants into slavery to America.
Total nonsense!
My ancestors weren't even here back then. They were still in Eastern Europe.
You guys not getting a dime from any immigrant that is for sure.
Who are the democrats that buy into this ridiculous topic? Reparations for black people? Black people who are pushing this topic never lived during the time of slavery. So why should we the citizens of America pay reparations. What about the Indians. They had land taken away.
No one.deseves reparation that's history and none of them were slaves just greedy and selfish if anyone. Deserves it what about the natives who had everything taken and still being forgotten . Not given everything like money housing medical and food . There not crybaby's
I’m 4%. What’s the cut off?
They can bill the slave owners. I've never owned a person, nor has anyone in my family that I'm aware of. Wouldn't a tax paid only by white people be discriminatory?
🖕reparations
Marxist democrats...marxicrats...buying votes...again. All the while keeping them on plantations. Beijing joe in 1995 called them jungles that deserved jail. Look it up.
I am a 63 year old white woman who has worked hard since I was 15 years old I have NEVER owned a slave. Nor has anyone that wants these reparations been a slave!!!
WE ALL identify as slaves. Pay me my fair share.
It’s time to pull the plug on everything Disney, and Hulu
That comes, without accounting for ancestry or national origins, about $350k for each black resident in the US
I vote we just say no.
There was no U.S.A. in 1619. Go talk to England, France & Spain. And why are you leaving out slavery in North, South & Central America pre-Columbus?
I'm sorry, you forgot to mention the subsidies from African countries. How much does that account for?
That makes a lot of sense to take money from people that never owned slaves and give it to people that never were slaves. That's like making people slaves to pay for things they never did.
Total BS
Get a job Bea a true American Get a job
Let's not forget there was no such thing as the United States of America in 1619. If anyone pays it should be Great Britain, The Netherlands and the African tribal leaders who were responsible for bringing slaves to this continent.
Fk this 🤡
🤫
Wow! Thats $14 trillion too much!
And how much will the families of those who died in the civil war receive for the sacrifice they made?
Hasn’t the amount of $$ paid into welfare over decades been enough
So, let me get this straight, we are paying for other peoples actions centuries ago? In that case all of America needs to pay reparations to the Indians that had to give up their land to invaders that killed most of the indian tribes.
So, let me get this straight, we are paying for other peoples actions centuries ago In that case all of America needs to pay reperations to the Indians that had to give up their land to invaders that killed most of the indian tribes that were here from the beginning.
OK, you want to be paid for slavery? Great, Any and all former slaves will receiver reparation. .25% from govt and 75% to be paid by the CAPTURES in africa who sold your ancestors. Funny how quickly history is forgotten when it doesnt work for you.
We were all descendants of slaves, where's our reperations slaves were already given reperations under Lincoln,free land and money
The racist white people in the comments aren't happy about this
I'm in favor of reparations as long as the recipients renounce their citizenship and leave the country.
Slave's were given reparations many years ago. Most of the people here now have no connection to anything to do with slavery, we should not have to pay anything!!
What about the Chiefs of the tribes that collected their own people to sell? They are the head of the snake?
My ancestors arrived after slavery. Should they have to pay?
My family never owned slaves. My great grand parents were polish immigrants. They immigrated here in 1870‘s and were farmers in Maryland. This sounds racist to me
NO REPARATIONS FOR ANYONE!
Not one cent of my money is owed to any descendent of slavery... In fact, if anything all descendants of slaves owe this country for freedom! WTF is really going on here?
All current slaves in America should get reparations from all current slave owners.
My people were given 'tuberculosis blankets' by the white man before anyone else arrived! 'Where my money is?'
If this ever went through, it’d be better for both sides that the payees and the payers never see one another again. Closure.
OK so what Disney is saying is that if a black person robbed your great-great-great-great grandparents, you can sue the black community for reparations. This goes both ways. If a black person commits a crime against a white person, then the white person should sue BLM.
Give them “free” college at state universities so they can better themselves
Do the people that came over after slavery ended or those who families fought in civil war get reparations?
These people have lost their minds. Why in the hell should someone be paid reparations who was never a slave or knows anyone who was a slave and why should someone pay reparations who never owned a slave or knows anyone who owned one.
Before that how about USA acknowledge genocide of native Americans!
That is BS. Reparations are used to further separate our citizens. The black community must stop settling for free stuff and recognize their abilities are innate.
Yet another freebie reason for black Americans to defer getting an education and gainful employment.
Totally ridiculous to think people today deserve one cent for what the previous generations did around the world to each other! Their own people through different tribes made skates out of others for God sakes.
THAT will start a Civil War here.
I never owned a slave?
reparations - as soon as the descendants of africans that enslaved the jewish people under pharaoh in eygpt start paying. oldest historical doc of slavery. slavery was created by africans. own it.
Giving all the blacks a huge payday but none of the poor whites...great way to start a race war.
Will never happen.
Is Disney still in business!
Best 'reparations' would be a one way ticket to Africa and remove citizenship for those demanding reparations. Are Oprah, Tyler Perry, Harry's wife, Jay zzzz, and Obamas entitled to reparations?
There is nobody who deserves Reparations period !
It's an attempt to extort money. But if there are to be reparations it should be from the democratic party that voted against the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, brought us the KKK, segregation and Jim Crow.
No one alive has been a slave other than those who are human traffickers because of open borders. Plus, my family got to America post-Civil War, Warsaw, Poland, & Mexico. Marxist read the Bible, yes slavery is in their way before 1619
Won’t happen… I owe nothing… let’s talk blacks who sold their own… Black slave owners … & fact that centuries have passed … talk all American hand out… we are talking Welfare at monumental expense… so outrageous … & we do nothing the millions/billions Biden’s made?
About 85% of Blacks in US are part White. How do we pay that group?
When China takes over , we all go into slavery … So quit worrying about it . 🇨🇳😎
How do I get my payment
NO, these people were not slaves and I’ve never been a slave owner!
Who will pay my Sicilian ancestors reparations for the Moors raping the Italian women there? And will black Africans who sold their own people have to pay reparations?
Why do I have to pay for some thing that happened hundreds of years ago that I never did?
Are they sending the bill to the African Kings that sold their people?
Can’t they just make all the current slave owners pay that?
At 3 1/2x the current federal revenue any one with functioning grey matter should see this as unrealistic. If we're going to kill the US economy just promise away all of the wealth of the world. Is there a rebate for all of the public assistance paid in the past?
I’ll start checking the cushions on my couch for loose change
No
No reparations period.
Slavery never ended! The fed made slaves ofnus all and guess what It's gonna get worse.
Will they take a check?
Racist dog whistle post
So just print the money, pay it, and shut them up. The resulting inflation will be the death of the Democrat party. My net worth flourishes under high- inflation.
This is when the tax revolt begins.
What about those who fought for slave freedom and died. Yes we evil whites. No one remembers us. Also the many quakers running the underground railroad. No reward there either. Self responsibility in this world. Stop the blame, it's history. Be better.
THE 1619 PROJECT IS A WORK OF FICTION AND THE REPARATIONS SHOULD BE FICTIONAL.
Everyone will just stop paying taxes if they tried that.
Surely you jest
If reparations are paid now, does it continue on to further generations?
Blacks are rushing to enter this country so they can get in on this deal! But wait, it is not going to happen! Why you might add, because there have not been any Slaves for more than a Hundred and Fifty Years, and no Slave Owners! Widening the Racist divide?
Bullshit
Not a cent to extortion.
hulu
How much do I get for my ancestors fighting, and dying, to free the Democrats slaves?
What a joke
That debt was paid from 1861 to 1865
F repartition.
They made a documentary serious about a fake history project? Why?
Ban All This Marxist Brainwashing Propaganda !! NOToReparations Stop Trying To Rewrite History & Making Everything About Race & Gender ! RACIST
Just the beginning.
so do we need to have reparartions for every race that has been slaves over history !!!!!!!!!!
😡😡
Happy to provide 1 way ticket to anyone who wants to return to their motherland
Will all Americans that were treated unfairly get these reparations as well?
OH is it just Black Americans that were sold off by African Black's or are you including other blacks from other countries like Jamaica etc this reparation is complete rubbish. The price was paid by the civil war! History is in the past! money will never change it!
Hmmmm? They get all the state/federal jobs. 99.9% of the post office is black. Over 40 billion is set aside each year, just because they are black. 26 trillion spent in 'da 'hood, 'dey is worse off than 60 years ago. 45% on welfare. DAMN, talk about 'reparations'.
Where is this administration going to get and has been getting all this money, given to Ukraine, and now wanting to give reparations to blacks, when this country is already in debt.
Imaging how much the Brits are going to get off the Vikings, Romans, Normans etc!!
First GET A REALITY CHECK 75% OR MORE AMERICANS TODAY IMMIGRANTED 50 TO 100 YEARS AGO FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY!!!!!!! WE ARE NOT YOUR OPPRESSORS! SO ARE YOU GOING TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT WHITE FAMILY PAYS YOU? MOST OF THE ARE NOW BIRACIAL IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER! LET GO ALREADY!
boycott disney
What if my ancestors died fighting for the Union army to end slavery? Any reparations for me?
so the blacks and jews responsible for the slave trade say the US that saved them from slavery should give them money
So then who becomes the slave? Who's working their ass to the bone for someone else?
Why dont we talk about the temperature of a cold day in Hell?
I don't care one bit about what Hulu thinks. I do care about the failed leadership of this country however.
The only people who should get any sort of reparations are the American Indians whose land was stolen and treaties broken.
We will see who is beating up who in bathrooms whilepeople take videos. shovereparationsupyourass
Good luck. We found a new scheme. Joe will hand over SSI. For before he’s all done. Then war.
Totally BS!
Leaves were made in Africa by Africans and sold by Africans to traders. Are Africans going to pay reparations to slaves? Btw where in western countries (USA) do we have slavery now?
Taking from people who never owned slaves to give to people who were never slaves. Reparations is making amends for wrongs you've done to someone. This scenario doesn't qualify as reparations.
Ukrainians costing you…non citizens Illegal immigrants…non citizens Afghans costing you… non citizens Israel costing you…non American
BS!
So who goes after all the other nations that also participated in the slavery of African? What about the Romans that kept slaves will Italy now pay reparations as well? Why isn’t the left interested in those human traffickers crossing the U.S. border?
I refuse to pay reparations for something I nor my ANCESTORS were party to. Go to the families of SLAVE OWNERS if you want some payback. Not immigrants that arrived decades after 13A and 14A. Boston Tea Party?
What makes today's black person worthy of something all the black people in the past did not get? So a group of people are going to what? Cash in? Do you think that will make them happy? foolishness and liberals allowed it. Treason is what it is.
This is insane and so wrong... Most of those individuals never had a family member as a slave, many traveled to America much later. Generations ago this happened, why would those who were not born have to pay for those who were never slaves, families never slaves. THIS IS BS.
This needs to stop. America isn't a slave nation built on slavery. In 1619 the Jamestown pilgrims set the slaves free. The Colonists were firm Bible believers & Separatists from the Church of England, who left their nation for freedom of religion. They followed Galatians 3:28.
Hell ya put me down for 2 spots!
Jews were enslaved by Egypt, an African country. When the Africans pay reparations to the Jews and Jews who became Christians we can talk about reparations for Africans. Better yet let’s all it even!
Well, I don't get it! Please explain how the US is going to own anything regarding the 1619 Project which is all FAKE to begin with? Let Disney pay the bill! After all, it's their piece of garbage, isn't it?
Ridiculous. Slavery wasn’t even legal everywhere and where it was legal those states were economically backward and they mostly destroyed during the civil war along with any wealth the slaves generated
Pathetic
🖕🏻
Then u fig out how to pay fir it without our money use yr own since black people cayse their own slavery..your just lookin for a pay day the 1619 project is a racist program with communism roots..but the there's always Africa..maybe YOU could visit there...right...
Disney & the liars and revisionists who are trying to destroy America and change history to benefit their selfish, power-hungry desires,must be stopped by truth telling & by people who will stand up to these false teachers who would dominate and indoctrinate Americans.! Wake up.
What about the African nations that rounded up and sold their own people? Are they paying first?
Civil war will be cheaper
I had nothing to do with slavery---if you did then bitch to the government that led your asses to America, in the mean time--we support our government and if they pay you reparations---we want our taxes back also--
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
No one alive was a slave or owned one. I know I've worked hard for what I've got. That should be the same for everyone. Giving them something for nothing won't change anything.
So will the descendents of the Africans (black folks) who hunted down and sold other Africans (black folks) into slavery have to pony up some of that money…just curious…you know history and all!
What about the 500k lives lost during the Civil War? What about the $30T spent on programs to help the poor, disproportionately African-Americans?
Nope
So you want Americans who never participated in slavery to reimburse people who never suffered under slavery …yeah, that sounds fair
🤡
NOOO!!!
Does that include Irish indentured slave payments and the negative impact of WASP oppression on Irish people?
HEY! DISNEY YA GOT YOUR CHECK BOOK READY, CUZ YOU HAVE A LOT OF RACIST MOVIES IN THE PAST ! HELL OF A FIT WHEN THE SHOE GOES ON ANOTHER FOOT.
😂
Got rid of Disney+ pkg last week
My great grandfather fought and died to free the slaves ……where’s my check
Ahahaha 🤣 game playing losers trying to get something free such lunacy, never served a day as a slave but somebody owes them something for nothing !!! Complete cry victim bribery !!
Put em on a plane back to Africa
Someone please explain to me why I owe anyone reparations.
Tell them to go find a slave owner to take it from and a slave to give it too. Include the blacks who owned slaves in the USA also and the Africans that sold their neighbors into slavery.
My tax dollars !?
are we all allowed to subtract the trillions of dollars already invested
Now you must illuminate the citizens from the area of Africa that enslaved and sold other Africans to the slave traders. Then tax anyone with ottoman ties so they can pay for the British and others they enslaved then then then. Maybe then you will realize it’s 2023 not 1619. Sry
LMFAO!!!! People who never owned slaves giving handouts to people who never were slaves. Ridiculous.
Well it’s really not because it’s fake and it’s not the way it should be if factual. Most want it just to be spread out over all who are here now. It would be done correctly spread over the few who can prove in a document trail and then split to the nearest living relative l.
Yea you can piss off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Having made off with billions in tax money via Social Welfare programs since the 1960's,the grifters want to cover their waste, fraud and abuse with this repartitions scam. Account for the condition of the inner cities that remain Demi rat strongholds first.
Hilarious.
Truly Evil to divide our country!
This is LIBERAL WOKE BULLSHXT!
Uh yea, no😒
The reparations is the high crime, stealing and not paying for anything.
There is no money available! Each American owes $94,266 on the national debt! More than $238,000 per household! And growing. If slavery made America rich why are we so poor?
Give me a break. I'm not paying anything. I didn't take part in it, so I won't pay a dime.
What bull. They live in the world of lies put forth by the evil Reverend Wright.
There is MUCH MORE slavery / trafficking today, how about addressing & correcting real world lives now !
Now go to Africa and collect. That’s where it started.
Snap cards and all forms of welfare have been * currently are reparations. You would need to include these payments in a discount cash flow analysis, also adjusted for inflation, and you would see that it wipe out that 14 trillion and more.
1619 + 400 = 2019. Wait, what
Any discount for families who’s ancestors fought and died for the cause of ending slavery?
This is a false flag operation aimed to take down the US. Wake up. Voters must take control and bring in rational politicians who will squash this garbage.
Executive Order 9066, leading to the internment of Japanese, Italian and German during WW2; the people that were enslaved by this order some are still alive they should be first to get reparations, if reparations are given.
stupidalert
Good luck with that!
Holy cow!!
And white America will start paying just as soon as blacks stop committing an absurdly disproportionate amount of crime
They can kiss my- you know what
Give them money. W/ the condition that as soon as reparations r paid, all debts regarding slavery r paid off. That will b the end of grievance industry. rev Sharpton & the others will be out of a job. R u sure u want reparations at the behest of the end of the grievance industry
Africa pay reparations for capturing and selling slaves?
LMAO!!! Yeah, OK. Just get up and go to work.
🙄
😂😂😂
What a load of crap. No slave holders left to pay and no slaves left to collect.
Its Crap ! When the blacks pay whites back for committing most of the violent crime, and generating the cultural rot with their music and attitudes of entitlement then, and only then, maybe I won't laugh at their reperations talk.
Either you get off of your ass and stop making excuses for yourself and join productive USA, or sit around like a slug and blame everything on whitey, play victim, and wait for white people to save you again. Reparations ain't gonna happen. Any self-respecting person says no.
Native Americans i.e., American Indians need reparations first if reparations are going to be given. The country tried to kill them, not just enslave them.
Stated watching this tonight... IMHO it is one person's distorted view and so far...not much about the year 1619?
If one penny is paid toward reparations, there will be a civil war. Be careful for what you which for.
Reparations have already been paid. It was called by many names: Welfare, food stamps, aid to dependant children, section 8 housing, low interest gov't loans for houses, affirmative action, and other welfare type gov't handouts.
Irrelevant story because this will NEVER happen!
COOL!! THAT SOUNDS GREAT! Now deduct the 100 years of welfare, gov programs, medicaid & OBAMA PHONES from that $14T and black people will owe us about 100 bucks. LET'S DO THIS!
The Irish American slaves get paid first since they were slaves before the blacks, correct?
When r white victims of black crime going to get rapperations?
Slavery Reparations, NO! 365,000 Union soldier deaths (Wikipedia) & countless families sacrificed by Americans who fought a 4 year WAR against their own race 158 years ago to stop slavery of Africans & their descendants transported here against their will & to save the U.S.A.
Nope ain’t gonna happen that’s robbery
I'm not paying for that trash.
Truly ridiculous…
Part of Obama's divide and conquer.
Not one dime. Go get and education and a job and get you damn hands out of our pockets. Go get the more from your fellow blacks who sold your ancestors into slavery in Africa.
Imagine the black on black crime when the goons come for their money.
Cold day in hades
Disney needs to be closed down!
Time to go back to the barter and trade system or come up with an alternate currency that the government can’t touch. I’m not paying for something y’all didn’t experience and I had nothing to do with. Take the chip off your shoulder, you didn’t earn it.
So I guess those of us that had ancestors that died during the Civil War, 680,000 dead, can deduct the amount per person lost from the proposed reparations figure. Better to let shit go considering nobody alive today was a slave.
If anyone thinks inflation is bad now, wait until they dump $14 trillion into the economy.
Dream away
Ridiculous
F$& these MF’n race hustlers. These are the certain word.
Well I want some of that money as well many of my distant relatives died freeing slaves lost their lives so I am in pain so gimmy money now!
It's going to be really hard to get reparations from people like me who did it DNA test and it turns out I'm All European I am from Britain and Ireland on one side and Germany and Finland on the other I am completely European
If there was am ex-slave alive today I would agree they should get something. But fuck no on their bullshit reparations.
Fuck that
What about the sex slaves today that treasonous joe is allowing to come into this country. No one in this country has been a slave or been an owner. You have the same rights everyone has. Work for what you want.
1619 Project is a totally made up falsehood story.
🤡
No conservative should support Disney in any way whatsoever. Not a dime... nothing.
🤨👎
Family had NO SLAVES
hulu hulu_support 1619ProjectHulu What about all the others enslaved or had indebted servitude? Irish, Chinese,Italians etc... What about all the soldiers who fought and died to end slavery, What about the native tribes? Are you going to do DNA so you can see the % of black?
Cheaper to send them all back …
About creating a “victim coefficient” for every American, so victimization is rewarded fairly. Women, native Americans. Irish, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Eskimos, Poles, Jews, plus plus plus. Everybody gets a cut based on their victim percentage.
Not this American
Soon it won't matter, with our funny money.
We definitely should pay reparations to former slaves. Where are they? Oh there aren’t any left? Oh well we tried.
The G damn reparations was paid in full by Republicans during the Civil War! But if you blacks have to go after people go after your beloved Marxist democrats. They are the ones that put you in chains.
they paying us back for all we have already paid in welfare and preferred business?
Oh did you forget indian and whire slavery? Sticky situation when you ignore history for Your own benefit.
Hahaha
Send the bill to Great Britain, they and the African tribal chiefs are responsible for the slave trade. OK, the Dutch and Muslims too.
Fuck Disney, Fuck Hulu & Fuck reparations. Me nor any of my family never owned any slaves.
Better go back to Africa and collect those reparations from the descendants of the Warlords who sold the slaves to the foreigners
Screw that
So, reparations owed to Native descendants must be $140 trillion ?
😂😂😂😂😂 Let every former slave line up fir a check. Everyone else? Stop making excuses
Good luck with that!
We can call it the war of 1619.
Not out of my pocket! My ancestors had nothing to do with slavery and anyway, the past is a long time ago. Those who would receive it now HAVE NOT BEEN SLAVES!
There is no justification for those who never owned slaves to pay people who were never slaves! NONE, ZERO, ZIP, NADA!!!!
NO American is 'owed' anything for something that happened over a century ago. This is foolishness and its another attempt by anti-American democrats to instill racial strife in the US. GET RID OF DEMOCRATS BY ANY MEAN NECESSARY!
Since my family arrived After Slavery I chose to opt out of this little social experiment.
Can a meteor please hit the planet and end us. I'm sick of this shit
Who's next? The Chinese? Indians? Can't they simply assimilate and work toward their best life in America? I think the better idea is for the Black Leadership behind this reparation nonsense is to start a new 'Back to Africa' movement. Solves a lot of issues.
How sad with they be when they realize that the majority of the money would go to Asian, Native American, and Irish slave ancestors?
I've never owned slaves, nor as far as I can tell have my ancestors going back 300+ years. Some came from Ireland during the potato famine where they were as good as slaves. Some lost land during the revolution and never got it back. Not one freakin penny will I pay....
13.6% of the U.S. population is 'African American'. I wonder how this 13.6% feels about having their taxes raised to pay for reparations to their fellow Black Americans.
BoycottDisney
My son's great great grandfather was seriously wounded while fighting to preserve the union which eventually stopped slavery.His remaining years were were torturous due to a confederate bullet that couldn't be removed. How much is that worth?
WtF ever
1619 project is fictional not backed by facts! The author was challenged by 5 scholars from different universities to debate and she declined! Read 1620: A critical response to the 1619 project!
The DNC/Media smear machine is a 'twisted menace' to the AMERICAN way of life 🇺🇸, LIBERTY and Freedom.
Then add the $50 Trillion it will cost to get to net Zero...
Looks like it’s time to stop paying taxes
Oh well. They’ll just spend it on stuff made by capitalist. We’ll all get rich.
So since it started in 1619, pay it out over a 400 year period. Should be paid in full by 2519. One generation should not have to pay for all the sins of the past. Those involved in the slave trade should help too since they were involved in the kidnapping in the first place.
🖕🏽🐴💩
Canceling Disney+
Why do we even pay any mind or attention to these losers. 🙄
Where is the payment to all Indigenous people for their lands? You know all those promises in treaties.
If true. America will go bankrupt because of the past mistakes and current greed of our fellow Americans 👎😢😡. The high expectations of getting something may result in getting nothing. What about our other Americans who were in the same situation. Be thankful for what you have.
Great news. Now when people, do violence against you. They have monies, tax them...then you just sue them. Take the monies away
Will all the dependants of April Ellison have to pony up ?
How much would Africa have to pay for 'Capturing,caging, then selling worldwide to all comers ?
1619, Bite Me
Shouldn't we first pay reparations to the Union soldiers survivor's that died freeing the slaves during the Civil War?
how about reparations to all the Polish people displaced from their homes in the eastern part of Poland due to what the US did after ww2?
First start with the white families of the North who lost loved ones fighting to free the black slaves. No reparations there is no one alive today that was enslaved.
Instead of reparations from US citizens, the blacks need to get reparations from africans that trafficked them and from Democrat european globalists and politicians that have kept them enslaved. But no reparations until they give all people reparations for slavery.
This is trash! They wont get any reparations from me
They need to stop with this stupid race shit. It’s not the 1800s anymore
Not slaves now.
Nope not one penny is owed anyone
Go away
Frankly we’ve been paying reparations since the Emancipation Proclamation
What about those with Irish heritage?
Not one damn dime…
Things like this are why I canceled Hulu and dissuaded friends and family members who we're thinking of signing up.
'Reparations? It sounds like greedy extortion to me, by people who don't and won't take advantage of the opportunities they have to work for a living, and earn what they receive.
Twisted history to promote a twisted concept. History doesn't define your prospects. History doesn't make you a victim. The call for reparations is a call for a handout and a political stunt to buy votes. Quit being exploited.
All lies not Americas history. America owes nothing.
Before any person gets a check we must deduct all government assistance that person has received since birth and those checks go to the real tax payers. I.E. White Americans
Ive wondered…will descendants of blacks who owned slaves (yes this is a well documented fact) pay reparations or get reparations?
The funniest thing about it is - like ALL leftist/Dem programs - blacks will never see a dime of it. 😂
It's better to give who ever is pushing this two huge middle fingers and tell their entitled USA hating asses out of the country.
People asking for reparations are entitled narcissists . No reparations, period !!
Send the bill to the people that caught and sold you into slavery… the total reparations Is $0.00 !
Moronic idiocy.
I'm Indian I want reparations from black people. The stinking buffalo soldiers helped to kill my people.
Disney That’s so stupid
I've never cracked a whip and they've never picked cotton. The people they are angry with are DEAD.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Screw them. I never owned slaves, and they were never slaves
How about a big, fat ZERO?
I knew having children with a black woman was a good investment, now pay my wife and kids and absurd amount of money that will devalue shortly after it was paid out!
Who will pay reparations to White people and all other races KILLED or injured by Blacks on daily basis? Prisons are filled mostly with Blacks not because of discrimination but because of their crimes. So, all Whites deserve reparations because of current Black crimes.
Go to the Africa slave traders who were the first to bring people to the New World. So anyone with family from Africa MUST be held accountable!!!!!!
I say reparations should be paid to the former masters for food, shelter, clothing, health care, elder care and education for those who were able provided to the slaves. Then the trillions in government assistance, education, health care, food, shelter and clothing provided.
What they really want is another South Africa.

Bullshit
I want blacks, as the first homo sapiens, to pay reparations to every other race on the planet for starting slavery and spreading it to the world as those blacks migrated
If $1 goes for reparations this country will revolt into a civil war..
What about reparations for American Indians (1800’s), Mexican Americans (1930’s) and Japanese (1940’s)? Why leave them out.
There really is no justice in taxing people who look like long dead villains from the past. White controlled spaces are generally seen as safe, so there are also no practical reasons for giving reparations. Giving them will also not stop race grifters from demanding more.
No it won’t because we are not paying people who were never enslaved.
where are the reparations to those who have escaped the slave trade during the last 50 years? How about 14 trillion dollars to end slavery NOW.
Just plain insanity…. In America you are owed nothing but an opportunity…
😂 adjust that figure to $0.14, CENTS, that will be three times more than enough reparations‼️‼️
So after the country is destroyed and goes into bankruptcy exactly where will the expatriates spend their 14 trillion
No. Never gonna happen
Sorry. No one from the period of slavery is still alive. No reparations.
The 1619 Progject is a complete Marxist lie. It is an abomination
Reparations is madness! Anyone who would seriously attempt to promote it or support it is out of their minds! Period!
There's nobody alive that's been a slave!!!
Since I’m white and I freed the slaves from the blacks who sold them to southern democrats, how much do I get?
Of course, they just want more money… But I like with Royce White said it’s about opportunity not about just giving people boatloads of money… Make sure the opportunity is available for all
I want reparations for affirmative action!!
Welfare over the decades had probably paid that much. High price to pay to destroy your families and push single parent households..because it gave more money.
IF I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT MY ANCESTORS DID, THEN THE PARENTS OF ALL DACA RECIPIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN BEING HERE ILLEGALS AND PARENTS & DACA RECIPIENTS SHOULD BE DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY !
Patently false premise. The debt was paid with the lives of those conscripted to fight the south. What this and always has been is the same thing as climate Justice, social Justice, equity&diversity Wealth transfer And it will end in another civil war, but that’s why invasion
If I have to pay for the sins people committed 150 years ago, then black people need to pay for every crime committed by black people since 1900!!
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Any politician that supports this will NEVER get my vote. This is beyond folly.
14 trillion could start a second Civil War
Not one black American has ever been a slave, they deserve no monetary compensation for something they never experienced.
No.
Wow
Haha they should get 0. Start with the African Muslims who in slaved there ppl and sold them. Give me a F ing Break.
Currently the debt is $31T…Plus $14T = $45T. Projection is $2T a year for the next 10 years. That will be $65 Trillion in 2033 & counting. How are we going to pay the interests for the bond holders? Who’s going to buy the bonds? We’re in DEEP SHIT!!!!!!!!
Is any other country that were involved in slavery helping to pay those reparations? Or is the American people the only ones being held accountable?
Why now? Why not all the generations since slavery? And what about the next generation, and the next, and so on. Shouldn’t we give every generation of African Americans $14T? If it is good for this generation, why not all?
Do people really think whilte folk, dressed like Elmer Fudd, went hunting in the jungles of Africa for slaves? SMH, the 14 trillion bill can be sent to Africa and they can be told they are being let off easy. Let's see how that flies.
Send the bill to the UK, there was no US in 1619, only a British colony.
All for braids and nails. It will never be enough and they will still flunk school.
Then THEY should pay it. Nobody else alive today has any responsibility for slavery nor ever profited from it.
Darn that's a lot of gold chains
That's bullshit. No reason for people living today, to pay people living today, for shit people 150+ years ago did to other people from 150+ years ago. It's a shitty idea. Always has been, always will be, can't EVER be anything else. Period.
Who do make the ck out to
Democrats were the slaveowners, the leaders of the Confederacy, the KuKluxKlan and instituted segregation. Let the Democrats pay reparations.
I don't think it should be the taxpayers that should foot this bill. If anything, I think Corporations around the world should foot this bill since they are the one's who did the exploiting and not only Black's but, you have people of ALL colors including the whites exploited
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
not paying one dime, never owned a slave
What about the black slave traders that sold them to the white traders 🤔 there bill would be bigger
Get it from Zelenskyy.
Ain't getting shit from me. Piss on Disney.
Well seeing as my family came from Italy and the Philippines, in the early 1900s, they weren’t slaveowners, I don’t hear the Jews going to Germany, demanding that they give them reparations for all they lost!
Disney owes parents millions for pushing mutilation of children.
I say No!
Guarantee, it’s one of the lowest rated programs on Hulu don’t try to shove that crap down my throat
We owe zero pennies for a debt not owed.
This conservative government has royally screwed itself to the wall. Tories in their current form are unelectable. This is no longer a representative of Conservative values in British politics. This is by design
🤣🤣🤣 and what should our northern soldiers charge them for reparations in obtaining their freedom?
Screw that!
My ancestors landed in New Hampshire around 350 years ago and while they never owned slaves they did fight and die for their freedom. This had a disastrous impact on my family and I am willing to accept reparations on their behalf.
🤣
How bout they all hop on over to Ukraine to get paid - all the money is over there.
Get. A. Job!!!!!!!!!
Ok lets invoice every black criminal for all the tax payers dollars for every crime they have committed over the last 30 years. Adds up.
Reparations are never going to be popular. It is a political joke. The money will be taxed away from working men in the coming generations to create an unearned benifit for people that never experienced the harm it was supposed to remedy.
I say do it and break this country we need to abolish the fed reserve IRS and federal government is to large rhia might be the only chance we have to stop the WEF
1619 Project is an anti-American, radical Left propaganda intiative and should be condemned.
Everybody knows this will never happen. Or they just want to start a second civil war.
Lol
I owe no black Americans anything
It’s not worth it. Better to pay for a one-way ticket.
' one “expert” says, is letting America off easy.' Clearly a RACIST VIEW
I identfy as a black American.
Already been spent, we don't negotiate with terrorists.
Start with the Bush, Obama, Biden admin stealing the 2.3 trillion dollars that is still missing.
Go to the source of slavery. AFRICA enslaved their own people and it's obvious they weren't getting rid of their brightest.
I’m African American too I identify as a slave. Pay me!
That's ridiculous..
Absolutely not. How many men died from the north to keep slaves free?
They can take their reparations and stick them!
Much 'cheaper' for present day US citizens, to send all blacks in US “claiming reparations”, back to Africa. Reparations is nothing short of paying for votes of blk citizens who do not want to work & want more welfare payments because of 'race' and contrary to 14th Amendment
That’s roughly $280,000 per person.
If Disney has that all figured out, then let them pay it.
I don't owe a dam thing.
Visiting the sins of a father on his children. I think we've had a whole other testament since then.
No more Disney
That’s a lot of crack and big screen TV’s
Have othder countries granted reparations?
NOT reality. “The Emperor has No Clothes”
This is the biggest scam and fleecing of America we owe no one anything. Bleeding Heart liberals need mental health check
Why should anyone pay anything for something the Democrats did they should sue the party as they are the ones who tried to keep them in chains
The insanity of woke...
No!
And once it's paid everything will be even steven and we will never have to argue about slavery or equity again. Right? I mean that's why reparations are given. To repair the error. Right?
I still say the 600,000 dead in the Civil War is compensation enough.
Reparations should come from Africa
I want 600 trillion
Same figures for India & Indians owed by Brits is about 44 trillion. No point holding children of today responsible for deeds centuries ago. Humanity needs to evolve enough to have wisdom to remember certain things ( lessons ) and forget certain others ( gory specifics ).
The 1619 rejects are all radical extremist,,They need to be stopped,, they're one of the most dangerous groups this country has ever experienced,,They burn loot and murder innocent people
No matter how much is paid in reparations, two years later the recipients will be decrying the 'paltry' amount paid out -- and demand more. Paying reparations will not improve race relations. It will make racial animosity far worse.
Reparations for what? For being fence sitters? They could have banded together and fought for their freedoms but they didn't.
All the people who didn't vote for Joe Biden,, deserve reparations more than anyone else,,He has created more pain and suffering then any other president before him.
If the govt were to actually pay $14 trillion then that $would be worth nothing becuase the result would cause hyper inflation and make biden flation look like nothing…basically they would be getting monopoly money…lol
My ancestors were Native American and Irish, they were slaves too before the blacks. WHERE'S MY MONEY!!!! YOU OWE ME!!!! THIS IS DISCRIMINATION AND RACISM BY FUCKING WELFARE SUCK HYPOCRITES JUST WANTING MORE FREEBIE HAND OUTS
Ight well the bill is 28 trillion for the war to free em so lets get it over with
shouldn't the African countries who sold slaves to Europeans pay the reparations?
Why are we paying a penny to people who have never been slaves nor known even one person who was one. I nor my family ever owned one. I think it’s an extortion and outrageous. Blacks should be ashamed of themselves for demanding this.
Now deduct the cost of the civil war in terms of materials & property destroyed. Then deduct the cost of 500,000 dead Americans & 1 potus. Then deduct the cost of inmates & welfare. Net negative.
GFY
Hulu can eat one- Im not in the hook for a penny
Meanwhile, back in the land of reality… AMERICA edges closer toward a hyper-inflationary depression every day but hey, let’s all keep focusing on things that happened hundreds of years ago, changing the words in children’s story books & on wars that are none of our business. 🙄
The reparations was that they weren’t shipped back to Africa like Abraham Lincoln wanted to do
Let's see one side of my family came over as indentured servants. The other to leave a country before war broke out. The first mentioned was before this was country and the other after the Civil War.
How much is owed to us Native Americans ?
If you have any intelligence you will cancel DISNEY NETFLIX AND HULU. Right off the bat!
Reparations are Welfare.
Invest in Hennessey and strip clubs if it happens.
Send them back and they can get it from those who sold their ancestors.
What about reparations to all soldiers n none soldiers(mostly white) that die fighting democrats to free slaves? Bc blacks were too afraid to die fighting, they accepted shackles n forced 2 work rather than die saying NO!! It was their CHOICE!!!!!!!!! PERIOD.
Any number will not be enough for the thugs behind this BS.
Nobody living today was living on earth in 1619 and I certainly don't owe anyone a penny. This is all a bunch of money grabbing BS.
Only 10% of pre Civil War America owned slaves. That's it. Most white Americans today are descended from Immigrants that arrived well after the war was over. So... most white Americans owe nothing in reparations.
Lol if your opening argument is 'gimme me 14+ trillion dollars,' you're going nowhere fast. That's an amount of money that the taxpayers could not pay even if they wanted to (they don't).
Wish in one hand and shit in the other....which one will fill up first.......
If I identify as black, can I get sum?
Just offset the law enforcement and welfare costs and the debt will be more than cancelled.
Ok one more time.. Cancel Disney, Hulu and Netflix WTF is wrong with those who still support these companies?
Never. They should keep dreaming.
How about reparations for the half million or so white people who died setting the slaves free? Their families deserve something!
I am sure all the historical documentation is in place. When do they start rewriting the history books? Oh wait Jones isn't a historian she is a journalist making money..
This would rip us all apart. This would be the end of America and I’m not saying that for effect. If that’s what these leftists want (ripping apart America), this is how they’ll do it. There will be lines drawn. Us vs Them mentality would become worse then ever before. It would…
Everyone has a price. “Racism” is the biggest shakedown in the history of mankind.
What about the families of northerners who fought and died for the freedom of slaves? Nobody should get a dime. The statute of limitations has run. 🤷♂️
I want reparations for the torture I have endured of failed leadership. Please send 10$ USD.
LOL how 'bout no? In fact, you want reparations? How much was it back in Civil War times? $10? Ok, that's how much you get.
Well if that's the case then the soldiers who fought & those that died to free the slaves deserve reparations also. No excuses!
My relatives were poor immigrants from Canada 🖕🖕
Hey hulu 🤬🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
I won't be paying taxes any more
They could get 50 trillion dollars today and they’d still be whining and crying tomorrow over something else…they’re the epitome of the perpetual victimhood
What would the cost of the Civil War be today?
As a Native American, I just want all you to leave. Fixes everything. LOL
I would never pay federal taxes again if this happened.
That’s if you only pay THIS GENERATION! Each Generation will want reparations! This will bankrupt the Country and never stop!
And what is the price tag for the African slave lords?
Its over in Ukraine, Monaco, Dc, & Chicago. Start there. Go get it...
How about reparation for the victims of communism, financed by Western bankers? How about victims of war in the Middle East (aming others), financed by Western bankers and military intelligence?
Slavery existed all over the world for generations. For the most part, it's been abolished. Reparations as stated takes money from people who had nothing to do with it it should be paid by proven slave owners only.
The ultimate welfare program. If initiated that will only be the start. No other culture or ethnicity will matter even though the suffering was across the board. Government is only good for causing wars and continued suffering by brainwashing the masses.
I canceled hulu because of it’s disgusting hypocrisy of profiting off CommunistChina as they have slaves, and oppression of minorities there in CommunistChina and abroad! hulu & Disney is full of racebaiters and Groomers BoycottDisney.
...Considering the trillions in aid we sent Africa throughout the decades.
Where do Hispanic people sign up for reparations
If the goal is to make a large portion of the tax paying population stop paying taxes...this would be how to do it.
Yea more inflation! Curious…would this settlement absolve America of racism? All affirmation action, scholarships, and other racial preferences would end, correct?
Glad I identify as a black slave!!
That makes me wonder how much Israelis will have to pay to Palestinians for reparations.
Not a penny!
If black people get all that money, will they stop commiting so much violent crime?
So it's money?
Where was slavery practiced west of the Mississippi? Do taxpayers whose ancestors arrived after slavery became illegal have to contribute?
Not one friggin dime
My Great Great Grandfather First Sargent Jasper Newton Mullins died from the wounds he suffered serving in the Union Army during the Civil War that freed the slaves. What is his family’s ancestors owed?
