Proposed Reparations for Descendants of America’s Slaves - Considerations and Calculations

This program presents a brief overview of proposed reparations, including legal framework, mathematical calculations based on wage theft and other depravations suffered by descendants of America’s slaves, and possible enactment mechanisms. The panel of subject matter experts will focus on 246 years of slavery and 100 years of quasi-slavery and discrimination which presently contribute to the tremendous wealth gap that exists between black Americans and white Americans. Both federal and California legislation will be discussed.
Co-hosted with the California Lawyers Association.

I can see going after people, families and businesses who profited off of slavery. Asking the general public to pay that debt is not going to work.

[@dorian07109]

As a black male with two master degrees and a doctorate, I have spent a lot of time studying reparations. I absolutely disagree with both gentlemen on the panel. Reparations ARE owed by the U. S. federal government and any other institution that benefited from the horrific act, i.e. AIG, Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank, Brooks Brothers, etc... In addition, the Roman Catholic Church financed slave ships. As a result, they also owe reparations. Lastly, let us not forget about Askenzai Jews, who were the biggest slave traders in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Ashkenazi Jews also owe reparations to black Americans who descended from slavery.

[@ghetuyi]

"Askenzai Jews, who were the biggest slave traders in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries." Yeah, that's the real reason they have been blocking any chances of reparations for Black Americans. I agree with you.

[@dorian07109]

@she doesn't even go here How about this? First, you and your people (Native Americans) pay the money with interest owed to blacks as stated in the Treaty of 1866. (Currently, that amount would be equivalent to millions of dollars today.) Secondly, Native Americans give the land that was promised to freed enslaved blacks, but never received to this day. Thirdly, you and your people publicly apologize to blacks for returning runaway slaves to their masters "scalped or alive" for a fee and for refusing to free the enslaved blacks in your custody, although the 13th amendment had already been ratified. Had the Union Army not forced your immoral people to free your slaves, your people would still be engaging in the horrific act to this day.

The true Native Americans looked like me. They had dark skin and wholly hair. I bet you don't like anything like that. If you did, you wouldn't speak about Africa in the manner that you do. Your comments show that you have never stepped foot on the continent where life began. I bet you have straight hair and a lighter complexion. You are what we call a $5 Indian. Your ancestors paid $5 to a federal government representative to get his/her name placed on a list so that he/she could steal the benefits granted to true Native Americans by the U. S. Federal Government. (Isn't this like your people? Just straight devils) Your European ancestors then raped the true Native Americans and Africans to produce a mixed breed of individuals such as yourself. You are a mut!! You are a creation stemming from greed, lust, theft, slavery, lies, deception, and torture. If my people are primitive, what does that make you - a demon?

You're making a false accusation upon Black Americans you obviously know nothing about. What you agree with is programs already for everyone. That's not reparations for terrorist inhuman suffering torture free labor plus so much more horrific treatments our people endured. It is not up to you, payment is past due from the USA Government just like they paid Japanese Native American to include Germany paid paying Jews. Black American Descendants of Slaves without further delay need America to pay their debt. One thing I want to address I never hear people against the Billions Billions cash payments given to illegal non earnings violator invaders money yearly. So we do not appreciate your bias taking concerning BA affairs.

[@AdrienLegendre]

This approach is incorrect for 2 reasons. If the economic assumptions of work 24 hrs/day and $0.02 to $0.06 hourly wage occurred, the slave economy would have been different, cannot be predicted as we have no time machine and possibly would never have existed, a result indicating that no compensation is needed. Also, the total compensation is money owed by slave owners to slaves, not the amount U.S. owes to slaves. No historical economic model can predict what should be paid by the U.S. government. We can recognize that the U.S. government tolerated cruel treatment of Black America's ancestors and this likely caused a multitude of racial disparities today. The government can compensate by doing what is require to reverse these racial disparities, including economic racial disparities, so that median Black and non-Black American economic outcomes are equal.

A good way of initiating reparations is giving blacks control of a resource such as tobacco or Marijuana. If they are given full jurisdiction over that resource, the resulting income be what pays for reparations.

[@mackmckinney5206]

Good idea, but unlike Native Americans we do not have a tribal system setup to administer distribution of funds. I suspect it is going to have to be a combination of Social Security, SBA, GI Bill, and FHA, with Tax Credits to take care of individuals and business needs.

In terms of an agenda for all Black Americans, support of progressive candidates and their polices, would go a long way toward that. Sadly Black Americans in general nor African-Americans in particular, have not been supportive of progressive candidates and policies. We all seem to simply want to be better positioned players in an unfair system. The focus of reparations as some sort of transfer of wealth seems to confirm this belief. We can't be looking at this issue rationally, if we believe reparations, at least by itself, will mean a transfer of wealth, certainly not significant wealth, if it is true that ninety-eight or so percent of the wealth, is owned by two or so percent of the people. These Black "Agendas" should not be called Black Agendas". They are really redress for Black people. Any Agenda called Black should be a list of things for Black people to do. These are things for the government to do, that are being called Black agendas. What value reparations may have, will be determined by the individuals who put it to use for themselves. To that end, we must use this time to work as hard on preparing ourselves to get the most out of reparations, as we do on talking about getting it.

[@siriuslyspeaking9720]

@Ty direct It depends on the context and who's speaking. There are no official designations, even in media. Kamala Harris, is a case in point. Sometimes she was referred to as Black sometimes as African-American. Both Black-American and African-American have been used interchangeably for a long time, even since Jessie Jackson suggested African-American (meaning those who ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.) be our formal designation. Most ethnicities in the U.S. are tied to the name of a nation, landmass or the word for a culture/language, or in the case of Jewish people a belief. African-American makes our ethnic designation more consistent with the other names. Many cities have annual ethnic festival. If ours were called 'The Blacks Festival' it doesn't sound right. African-American ties us to something of more substance/meaning for formal purposes. We have historically used it, as in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Afro-American Newspaper. There are not many context, in which African immigrants and African-Americans, are lumped together. When would it be useful to reference Americans from Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Morocco, and Algeria, with African-Americans? It doesn't even happen with the countries our ancestors came from. Most African immigrants don't think of themselves first as African, if any at all do. They think of themselves as the nationality and tribal ethnic group, they belong to. The context in which a designation is used must be considered. It determines which one is being used, or is appropriate for a given context. European-American is very rarely used. There is an argument to be made for another term, to represent all, what is socially considered to be "Black people" which in some fields, is many times referred to as sub- Saharan Africans. The term 'African Diaspora' exist and it's was created I believe by Pan-Africanist, but it speaks to all "Black people" of African descent. To show how complicated all this grouping is. Many would include the Aborigines of Australia, and the people of Melanesia, but they are said to have Left Africa about 50,00 years ago. Many early humans left Africa around that time. Were they all the same, when they Left? Was there such a thing as an "African" then, that could be considered an African today? At what point in history, are Asia and Europeans, no longer Africans? It's all about the context.

[@AdrienLegendre]

Consistent strong support of progressive candidates has failed Black Americans. A better approach is ask one party to deliver reparations and support that party 100%. If that party fails to deliver, ask the other party to deliver reparations and give 100% support to the other party on the next election cycle. Consistent party loyalty to one party for each election cycle is a wasted vote.

[@edwincrichlow5370]

To the question of why resistance to Reparations for ADOS, I'd suggest fear may be a factor. To look at the achievements of ADOS in the face of centuries of atrocities & inequities, if we receive Reparations and equitable treatment, we would prove our above average capabilities & crush the ideology of White Supremacy; denying that crutch to those still benefitting off of Jim Crow.

[@ventureted]

Theres resistance because you're asking people that had nothing to do with slavery to pay money they earn to people who are not slaves. At the HEIGHT of slavery in the US, less than 1% of the population owned slaves. This is documented fact. If you want reparations fairly, go after THOSE people.

[@mackmckinney5206]

[@siriuslyspeaking9720]

At about 35:01Creyer was careful to say "slavery" instead of 'slave' it appears. Why are lawyers, as in Antonio Moore of the group ADOS, and now Creyer, insisting on associating the descent, (which means one's bloodline - designated by their family/surname or a particular individual specifically) of the people in question, with the condition of slavery? There is no confusion that slavery is the circumstance that is being addressed . It is however confounding to apply the word slavery, which is a status or condition, to identify a person's descent. To apply descent to slavery, means that White Americans are also included under this usage. Craemer makes it a point in the opening presentation, that Whites received reparations in the past, while enslaved Africans and their descendants did not. To say 'slaves would have been less wrong, so again, why the insistence on "slavery"?

I agree with Craemer that the government should primarily do the research. I would go further and say that it should be assume that any Black person is eligible for reparations until proven they are not. The Republicans don't even what to play reparations period. They are not hardly going to pay anyone they don't really have to. Also to categorically imply that reparations paid by the U.S. should only go to African-Americans is wrong, if discrimination of Black people in general is included in the bill. It may be dealt with in a companion bill, or all done at the same time. I see no harm in doing both at the same time, if practices like redlining and other more recent post Emancipation Proclamation wrongs are included. Puerto- Ricans would apply in this instance.

[@mackmckinney5206]

Correct, damages can be accessed by the economic harm suffered by each eligible category. The yet to be decided categories; these categories will take into consideration years of ancestor enslavement, discrimination and severity of discrimination by location; this way all black people, who by definition, have suffer some harm will be justly remediated for their harm. Consideration should also be given to community improvement, education, and business development.
