Well sht.
Looks like you owe the taxpayers.
"The War on Poverty" has a 50 year cost of 22 trillion dollars. I want a refund.

They had to purchase the slaves, and feed/house/care for them.
If they are looking for an accurate picture of the expenses (which I know they are not) then this has to be included.
That should knock the figure down to zero.
George Washington observed that it took slave labor 3 or 4 times as long to build a barn than hired free labor. Given food, housing and maintenance, the price ratio is not good at all.

And now you see why they are asking for more. Give an inch, take a mile with these people. Just tell them to take a hike the first time and they'll move along.

$70 billion?
How about no, but you can have a discount on tuition if one of your family members can qualify to enroll at St. Louis University.
OR, you can send the bill to known slave-owner descendant Sunny Hoston.

Everything you enjoy about your modern life is due to the industry of White people.
Indoor plumbing, electricity, modern medicine, adequate food, all manners of technology.
You're welcome.

We have some idiots on this board but you take the cake.

How about NO. No one on this earth deserves reparations for anything.

But, how about assuming, working 24/7. Apparently, they never slept , ate, etc.
And didn't for 40+ years. Also, apparently it never rained, snowed, tornadoes, or any other horrible weather that would stop work.
I'm curious how they did the 24 hour work. You know working at 2am before the advent of electricity.

Well, this is axiomatically true.

Descendant of a slave owner.
We really should just move on from this non sense.

I always feel like they should add some decimals to make these numbers look more official. 74.31 billion dollars is just more believable.

They can all go frick themselves. You want reparations? Ok. You can have 5000$, your citizenship revoked, and a one way boat ticket to your choice of African country. Enjoy being Kangs without everything European whites have given the world. Which is like 95% of everything anyone actually wants or likes.

You freaks can pool your money and pay all the reparations you freaks want.

Her statement is false anyway. People willingly stayed in servitude.
Some illegals willing to shine shoes of wealthy liberals for a roof over their head.

"Slave" dehumanizes the individuals who were kidnapped from their homelands to become property in this country. Referring to people who were enslaved as "enslaved people/enslaved individuals" acknowledges that they were actually human beings who treated horrifically.
You don't think slaves were human?
