B L O G C O N T I N U E D "Black Americans have been underpaid from Juneteenth, 1865 to right now, in every job we ever held. That is 155 years of backpay." Black Americans gave Iraq $36b in reparations to rebuild after the war and gives them $3b annually. Black Americans have given Israel roughly $160b since the end of World War 2, the largest amount of reparations to any country. Black Americans gave the auto industry $80b in reparations. Black Americans gave Wall Street an estimated $1.9t in reparations during the most recent tax cuts, after giving them over $700b in the one prior, and trillions more over the course of history. Black Americans gave veterans reparations, called the G.I. Bill, or Serviceman’s Readjustment Act, close to $15b – without initially being able to get any of our own money for Black veterans. Black Americans gave wealthy people $2t in during the most recent 2016 tax cuts. Black Americans gave Small Businesses $700b in reparations in the recent budget, and trillions since the SBA started in 1953, though Black people are least likely to get SBA loans. Black people subsidize State Universities, private colleges, and charter schools, Black Americans give farmers $20b per year, and Black farmers have decades long lawsuits trying to get their fair share. Black Americans give homeowners $70b a year in reparations for mortgages – reparations mostly given to and used by white Americans. Black Americans subsidize middle class and wealthy Americans by paying more for food, goods and services, gas, insurance, interest on credit cards, car purchases, and home loans. Finally, and to bring reparations back to the beginning, Black Americans have been underpaid from Juneteenth, 1865 to right now, in every job we ever held. That is 155 years of backpay. Black people have given America and the world tens of trillions of dollars in reparations that America turned around and gave businesses, white people, colleges and universities, farmers, and dozens of foreign countries. The bill is past due and as co-owners of this country, we are not asking the government or “white people” for a handout or a loan. What we are demanding is that we receive OUR money back. The bill is past due, and the interest is growing Now that we have established that America does in fact love and support reparations, by whatever name we chose to use.
