Dem. Presidential Candidate Calls for $100B in Slavery Reparations

[Database Error]

Marianne Williamson, a best-selling author. spiritual teacher and activist, announced her bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination on Monday. On Thursday, she sat down on CNN’s New Day, where she said the United States needs to pay African-Americans reparations for slavery.

“We need a moral and spiritual awakening in the country,” the candidate stated. “Nothing short of that is adequate to really fundamentally change the patterns of our political dysfunction.”

Her platform includes proposal for free public college, universal health care, Medicare for all, a green new deal and $10 billion per year for slavery reparations to be paid over the course of a decade.

“I believe $100 billion given to a council to apply this money to economic projects and educational projects of renewal for that population is simply a debt to be paid,” Williamson said.

Watch the full interview below to hear what she believes to be the “deeper truths” about what has failed the American people.

How about we just don’t have to pay any taxes anymore. That would be good for me

 

[yureeka9]

How about we just don’t have to pay any taxes anymore. That would be good for me

That's always been my solution as well. But I'd like to add free education for any college you can qualify for as well.

[ansatsusha_gouki]

100 billion is too low......

 

[Rel]

Seems too good to be true but we just need something or anything at this point. Cuz no one even wants to talk about the subject let alone break real bread to black folks in America. I want this to be real and her win and carry out her plan, but too much doubt in the way and she's walkin a dangerous rope. We'll see if she real or not cuz this is something I always wanted to support reparations for black folks here in the Land black folks built forcefully.

 

[OUT THARE]

US & Other countries have done that successfully but the US deep rooted racism for blacks ain’t going to let that happen

 

[Lexx Diamond]

100 billion is too low......

Word. $100 trillion is too low. We stay getting low balled.

[Naha-Nago]

Word. $100 trillion is too low. We stay getting low balled.

They can never give us enough back in MONEY what they took from us in BLOOD.

They want to square the deal? I want a pound of flesh that I can do with as I please....

[ankhheru]

Exactly who's defined as an African American? This needs to be addressed before any money gets payed out. That's a very vague term. How far back do they go to consider the date of payment? Is it the date the first slave stepped off the ship? It's a lot of variables to consider.

 

[SamSneed]

How about we just don’t have to pay any taxes anymore. That would be good for me

And still get a return

 

[roots69]

100billion isnt even close!!

Word. $100 trillion is too low. We stay getting low balled.

I agree!! 5 to 10trillion and thats just for the pain and suffering!! We havent even added up all the hours of free labor and all the inventions that were stolen!! Then were talking the land and resources!! And when we get our money, fuck holding the fiat dollars, We want it in gold!!

 

[Mask]

That's always been my solution as well. But I'd like to add free education for any college you can qualify for as well.

You stepping into the areas that answer questions to many problems

They never intend to. They're just throwing that out there to get the Black vote in Obama era droves to offset the cheating Republicans.

"I'm a proud African American y'all."

"Me too. I will also be re-claiming my African American Hertiage... I am no longer just a woman of color."

"Assalamualaikum my brother."

And this is the reason for the current ADOS movement.

 

[Megatron X]

Only the American descendants of slaves should be getting reparations. Reperations should partly be land and nuggaz need to be independent of whites.

Blacks should be separate from whites and govern their own land. Fuck that free tuition and pay no taxes bullshit. That’s that watered down reparations. Blacks will never be liberated from whites with watered down reparations.

 

[Drayonis]

Nice jester but not going to happen she’s not going to Happen

Bingo.

They'll never pay it and she'll never get elected simply for asking.

Thanks for asking though?

You're never going to get it though. So hold onto to your day job.

Explain...I don't know what that is...

[Drayonis]

That will backfire. Now these "woke" non-voters will demand that every candidate get on board and if not, they'll promise not to vote...(since they weren't planning on voting anyway).....they'll hold their vote for ransom even though, they weren't going to vote anyway.

 

[Drayonis]

Explain...I don't know what that is...

*two cents*

A bunch of cornball negros that delusionally think one day Racist America is going to pay out "reparations" and when that magical day comes the money should ONLY be handed out to ADOS (American Descendents of Slavery). That leaves out people from the Caribbean and African nations.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

How about we just don’t have to pay any taxes anymore. That would be good for me

That and free education at any university and college all the way to doctorate level for the next 350 years. And free vocational training for any trade and full acceptance in all trade unions.

Edit:
Also they could give us SW Texas, Southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and W Florida. If we were given land I don't want to land locked.

 

[Naha-Nago]

They never intend to. They're just throwing that out there to get the Black vote in Obama era droves to offset the cheating Republicans.

Oh I know.

If they want to really settle up though...

...then let's start at the beginning.

*two cents*

 

[ballscout1]

How does that repair anything for those in poverty that don't pay taxes ?

Slavery was the beginning but since there has been systematic oppression and intentional obstacles to keep black people in the underclass..

everything done since emancipation also needs correctiom

 

[Naha-Nago]

That and free education at any university and college all the way to doctorate level for the next 350 years. And free vocational training for any trade and full acceptance in all trade unions.

Not enough.

There's not enough that white people can do for us to 'pay off' the debt they owe us on a cosmic level except...

- HOPE that we forgive them and forget.

- Shackle up and become our chattel.

Neither will ever happen.

The problem that occurs when you put your boot on someone's neck is that you can never remove the boot.
