The feds easily passed legislation giving a trillion dollars to bail out banks, insurance companies, and car companies. The same people who gave out bad loans, cooked their books, and built crappy cars. What the hell!
Imagine if the government had instead distributed that money to every African American and Native American in this nation to make up for past injustices. There are approximately 42 million African and Native people currently living in the United States. The trillion dollar payout would result in every man, woman, and child recieving approximately $23,000. Although not full reparations, a nice start.
The economy would be fixed overnight because we own no car factories, banks, or major insurance companies. All of the money would be returned to the white people who own mortage companies, build homes and cars, and distribute drugs and alcohol. Everybody benefits, no one loses. We could also use this money to start businesses, set up retirement accounts, or even move to Africa and start over.
Racism is why this will never happen. This country thinks nothing of giving 1 trillion dollars to wall street and Iraqis, but nothing to the peoples who were robbed of their heritage and enslaved. Billions for Banks, Nothing for Negroes and Natives.
