I wouldn't say that reparations are "help", reparations is what the U.S. owes for forcing a group of people to build it for free.

I don't often agree with you, but I think you hit it on the head here.

Hey Thump! Haven't seen you in a while.

California city to give transgender and nonbinary residents up to $900 a month

And do you still have enough money to actually take care of a lot of those things? If the answer is yes, are there still a lot of black people who don't? And, to be perfectly blunt, doesn't Western Europe cover a lot of the things Angrboda suggested as a baseline for everybody? And is there a good reason America can't do the same, with the possible exception of "because the Republican Party is vehemently opposed to using the government to actually help people, except maybe if we can somehow produce utopian results almost instantly with minimal effort, and even that's a huge maybe"?

Estimates for reparations range from 10 to 50 trillion, if we take 20 trillion and divide it by the black population, without even subtracting those that wouldn't qualify, you end up with $500,000 per person, but more than likely it would be distributed according to household, which would equate to two million dollars per household.
