    'House Dems’ new proposal would give Black Americans $14 trillion in reparations
    Several Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced a resolution Thursday seeking to provide $14 trillion in reparations to Black Americans.

    Bush said that since the U.S. economy profited off of the crops produced by the enslaved people. “In 1861 alone, the value placed on cotton produced by enslaved Black people was $250 million, or more than $8 billion today,” she added.

    Meanwhile, most Americans view reparations negatively. A 2021 Pew Research Center poll found that nearly 7 in 10 of those surveyed, or 68%, said the descendants of slaves should not get payments.

    But the survey revealed a contrast when accounting for race and ethnicity: 77% of Black adults supported reparations, while 18% of white Americans said they supported the same.

    The poll also found cash payments were the least popular and educational scholarships were most popular among those who support repayments.

    The Reparations Now Resolution doesn’t reveal the source of funding for the $14 trillion in reparations.

    “We’re still having those kinds of conversations,” Bush told Fox News.' https://news.yahoo.com/house-dems-proposal-black-americans-012552613.html

    So your proposal, Jerry, is to take 'oil company subsidies', which you consider a ripoff, and give it to 'black people'? Are 'oil company subsidies' $14 Trillion? And how long before they come back for another $14 Trillion?

    and give it to 'black people'?

    When people feel they have to make up a fake positions for me, then argue that fake position I
    never made; then ask if their fake made up argument is true…. Well.. it reveals who the fake is.

    Wanna start over? Start with subsidies to big oil. It appears you don’t think it’s a ripoff. True?

    Then show where I suggested giving Big Oil subsidies to anyone.

    Are 'oil company subsidies' $14 Trillion?

    And what oil subsidies have to do with the topic?

    And how long before they come back for another $14 Trillion?

    See?

    Or do you have a non-dodging, legitimate reply at all?
