Reparations for descendants of the victims of slavery has been a growing topic in the last few years with many in politics just damn scared to get near the topic.
The governments seems to dodge even looking into it and even recently Bernie Sanders, who seems to be championing social causes, tried to dodge very direct answering.
The fact is, the idea isn’t that popular, there is a general belief it would just be too expensive on a country that seems to have many other issues it’s struggling to pay for.
One teacher worked out that every African American is owed $1.5 million each!
So, is there a REAL solution to this mess? A recent Huffington Post article tried to detail exactly how reparations could be paid. Here are the three steps they outlined:
1. Let’s Figure Out Who Deserves Reparations And Why
2. So How Much Are We Talking About, Exactly? – They say $6.4 trillion in 2014…
3. Now, How Would This Money Be Paid Out?
So, that’s the steps they talked about and with more detail in the article here: http://huff.to/1QUWVsg
What do you think? Is this sensible and does it work out?
