Beware of a new epidemic, Gibsmedat Fever!
Blacks with an entitlement complex think the government that freed their long-forgotten ancestors now owes them back wages. This became San Francisco’s second Black Plague when they entertained the ridiculous idea of collective compensation. Then Gibsmedat Fever infected the rest of the Golden State, with an exploratory committee setting expectations by lazy blacks that they’ll soon win the ghetto lottery. Will this inspire the Gold Rush 2.0, flooding California with greedy blacks? The problem is that the gold isn’t there. Did those politicians notice that California is already deeply indebted, despite some of the country’s most punishing taxation?
Just as predictably as the law of gravity, Gibsmedat Fever spread to Congress. A Daily Caller headline says it all: “’Squad’ Dem Member Introduces Resolution Requesting $14 Trillion In Black Reparations.” (The “Squad” would be better termed the “Spoiled Brat Pack.”) The resolution by Representative Cori Bush (D-MO), which the article states is “for the purpose of closing the racial wealth gap, among other things,” would put $350,000 into the hands of 40 million eminently deserving people of color. That’s because all honkies are born with silver spoons in our mouths, and certain politicians want us to share.
For some context, $14 trillion is the inflation-adjusted equivalent of 80 Marshall Plans, the massive program to rebuild Western Europe’s cities after the Second World War, which had been bombed to Make the World Safe for Democracy. It’s also the combined equivalent of 50 Apollo lunar programs, 50 Gemini projects, and for lagnappe, 50 robotic lunar programs. Did anyone think of sending all of them to the Moon instead?
A trillion here, a trillion there — soon you’re talking real money
Putting us “on notice”
Again, as predictably as the law of gravity, they’ll demand more and more. Already some dude in Tampa is expecting an even $3 million per unit of obsolete farm equipment:
“We care about our reparations. And we have to put White people on notice that we want our reparations. Our foreparents and us didn’t work for free and [get] underpaid and all this nonsense and the White folks get away with it,” the man added,” while “they talk about the great city they’re building.”
“No. We want our reparations. $3 million per person. $3 million per person right here in this city. That’s the only [thing] Black people have to care about. All this other little nonsense. . . we do not care about.”
Yes, sir! Your wish is our command. The government checks are in the mail already. Just stand at the curb and keep waiting for your express hand delivery so you can sign for your payment . . .
More seriously, it’s easy enough for some twerp to say, “You owe me six gorillion dollars,” of course. The one being hit up for this princely sum might have a few questions about the matter, however. Where are they coming up with these figures, for one thing?
Cori Bush is more photogenic in braids. Kind of, anyway.
The Squad’s $14 trillion demand reflects the average difference between the wealth of blacks and whites. This was brought to us by the same “justice is when my $$$ = your $$$” reasoning that inspired Communism. (If that’s where we’re going, I’d rather be in East Germany than The Squad’s vision of what the United States should be.) The unstated assumption underlying this is that malicious discrimination — institutional this, structural that, and so on — is the only reason blacks are not as successful as whites. The necessary corollary is that average black outcomes have nothing to do with certain commonly-noted traits including low IQ, improvidence, laziness, criminality, impulsiveness, drug abuse, evasion of responsibility, and rebelliousness for its own sake — all of which aren’t conducive to career success. You’d better not notice it, either, because that’s not nice; just open your wallet, Whitey.
As for the distinguished gentleman in Tampa who’s putting us “on notice” that he wants a cool $3 mil because he’s black, I want some of whatever he’s been smoking. If Tampa caves in, then all 40 million blacks across the country will want the same thing, believing they deserve it. Not only would that vastly exceed all the dollars in circulation, it would come close to exceeding the US’ entire net wealth. Dream on, but we’re not giving America to you. Tough cookies. Now buzz off.
If the claims were legitimate, what would Whitey owe?
Fortunately, the Australian commentator C. Kyle has been kind enough to look into the American situation. He crunched some numbers, entertaining such claims seriously as a thought experiment. He described this in a video released in July 2021. It is also available on Bitchute, in case someone at YouTube’s censorship department — maybe a trisexual terrestrial calamari who identifies as a castrated Chihuahua, with green hair and enough facial shrapnel to set off a metal detector — decides it’s too naughty for the public to see. It’s 25 minutes long and highly recommended, though you might want to wait a bit, since he gives away the ending early on.
There’s a unique twist, though. The calculations also take into consideration something delicately called the “black fiscal impact.” In broad terms, this adds the tax revenue from the black community to the tab, and deducts budgetary expenses spent on it. It makes sense — since reparations is a collective claim, it’s legitimate to take into account collective revenue flows.
C. Kyle considers a number of factors in the spreadsheet. If there’s a dispute on what the numbers should be, he quite charitably favors the Leftist/minoritist figure. In other ways, his assumptions are quite generous to the pro-reparations side. Really, the very idea that their distant ancestors are owed back wages is preposterous for a number of reasons on the face of it. Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant setting them free wasn’t enough? Given that this was in the aftermath of a war resulting in 624,000 KIAs that bankrupted the North and devastated the South, coming around to demand massive handouts over a century and a half after the fact shows profound ingratitude.
The “debt”
It’s anudda Shoah!
All told, the scenario first considers what would’ve been the payout if each slave had received an average farmer’s lifetime of wages upon emancipation. This would be paid even to babies, who never picked any of Massa’s cotton. I’ll add that since the proposed sum equals a lifetime’s wages, then this would overpay any blacks who hadn’t reached the point of retirement, after which masters supported them without requiring further work.
You can buy Beau Albrecht’s Space Vixen Trek here.
Speaking of supporting them, one other figure that the raw numbers don’t account for was that slave labor wasn’t actually zero-cost. Slaves still needed to be fed and housed, among other expenses. Recent arrivals from Africa were known to prefer their new diet over conditions back home, which generally involved foraging for whatever they could get. Moreover, slave quarters were generally quite decent, especially compared to grass huts in their Urheimat. A better calculation of back wages would deduct room and board, and perhaps other expenses such as clothing (customarily two new outfits annually per slave), medical care, broken tools, etc.
This payoff didn’t happen, of course, but let’s pretend to assume it’s a legitimate claim and that no statute of limitations on labor practices applies even after a century and a half. C. Kyle very generously adds to this the average interest rate for each year, handled similarly to the ripoff known as the adjustable-rate mortgage. Over long periods of time, even small sums will exponentially become huge. This is more generous than if he’d adjusted for cost of living, even though inflation since the 1940s has been staggering. For quite a while, our “debt” to the uncompensated coloreds climbs higher and higher on the chart. Oh no! The raw numbers end up being $17.5 trillion, which is 25% above even what Cori Bush wants.
Tax payments by blacks also increase this figure. There’s no box on the IRS form for you to enter your ancestry, of course — but there are ways to estimate this, which C. Kyle has done. Much discussion about this occurs in the second part of the video. For that matter, the IRS has done so as well, generally by way of making assumptions about what race people are based on their names. (If your name is Lemonjello Washington, chances are slim that you’re Asian.) In fact, they’ve set up an exploratory committee to try to figure out how to shaft us more. They seem to be upset that Joe Sixpack is getting too much of his own goddamn money back after filing his return.
Repayments to “the debt”
Everyone’s forgetting about this.
Although there’s never been any government initiative calling itself “reparations for slavery,” there have been a tremendous number of social levelling programs that were unofficial efforts to achieve that end. The first was the Freedmen’s Bureau during the Radical Reconstruction. Measures since then generally have been geared at attempting to bring blacks up to white standards. This is actually the same goal as what Congresscritter Cori Bush proposes to do in $350,000 lump sums. The difference is that adding $14 trillion to the national debt — bringing it to nearly $46 trillion, at the time of writing — will likely result in massive dispossession rather than the slow bleed that we already experience via taxation.
As part of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society initiative, social leveling programs kicked into high gear. The motive, in his candid words, was, “I’ll have those [African-Americans] voting Democratic for 200 Years!” Tactically, that much has been working as expected thus far. But if this eminently tricky President had a side agenda of placating them with handouts, it didn’t go over so well. Race riots continued to ramp up over the next few years, peaking in 1967 and 1968. Funny how that turned out, right? Did I mention that they’re ingrates? The more general takeaway is that payoffs don’t work, especially when you’re dealing with people who are lazy, greedy, and entitled. They behave like spoiled children, conditioned to believe that they’re owed something for nothing, and that bad behavior gets them what they want. We should be heeding this lesson now that their hands are out yet again, and asking for more free goodies than ever before!
The official selling point sounded a lot nicer than LBJ’s less-than-high-minded remarks: It was billed as a War On Poverty. The intention was to fix the ghettoes and their social problems. At the time, black dysfunction was presumed to be solely the result of the fact that whites were mistreated them. (How little the rhetoric has changed since then, even though they’ve been getting preferential treatment ever since!) This generally turned out to be counterproductive, but white taxpayers footed most of the bill — and how the funds were spent after that isn’t our problem.
If the concept of a collective debt is accepted as valid, then efforts toward black uplift should be considered payments. I see that C. Kyle did not start counting with the Freedmen’s Bureau. It would be interesting to see what kind of dent that would’ve made in the calculations. There’ve been larger federal programs, of course, but it was a sizeable chunk of change back in the day. A lot of the funds were eaten up by corruption — but again, that isn’t our problem.
I’m even more interested to see what the results would be if the Union’s tremendous war expenses were deducted from the total. Whether the Civil War was indeed about slavery is a debatable point. There were some Confederate notables who concurred with this idea, as well as President Lincoln after the Gettysburg Address, of course. So for argument’s sake, we’ll say it was. (Personally, I believe that if not for slavery, all other points of contention could have been settled through negotiation.) As it happens, the war was devastatingly costly to the North. This forced the government into the arms of the banksters for the first time since President Jackson booted them out. Since the Union’s war costs were spent on the cause of freeing the blacks — to say nothing of the hundreds of thousands of lives thrown into the meat grinder — it certainly should count against any supposed residual back wages.
What’s been paid back into the black community?
Why do we let them stay here again? What are we getting out of multiracialism?
Now let’s get to some of the things that C. Kyle does count in the spreadsheet. It turns out that blacks consume slightly less Social Security and Medicare per capita, but they consume more Medicaid.
Of course, there’s welfare — Captain Obvious here. Blacks are overrepresented as welfare consumers, while whites disproportionately pay into the system. It’s been like that ever since LBJ. In effect, this siphons massive funds every year out of the white community and feeds it into the black community via taxation. If there is indeed a legitimate historical debt for slavery, then obviously this should count towards repayment. But on the other hand, if there is no such legitimate basis, then this would be a shakedown second only to the Versailles Treaty or the Mongol Yoke, courtesy of Washington.
As for military expenses, that part of the budget is divided evenly among the races. As C. Kyle explains:
I can’t think of a situation where one group should be more responsible for the cost of the military than another, unless maybe there’s a group in powerful positions who are always advocating for various wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. Maybe I’d make them cover a little extra. Also, if a group like that did exist, I would consider them to be very warmongering — very warmongering, indeed. But thankfully, I don’t think there is a group of people in the US that are like that.
The statistics were a bit murky when it came to the cost of education, with competing claims on both political sides over which group gets more funding. Our videographer ended up simply pro-rating it for the populations of school-age youths.
After that, policing and prisons were factored in. Blacks are notoriously an eighth of the population and commit about half of the violent crime. C. Kyle introduced a coefficient into the equation to fudge the numbers, however, letting them off the hook for certain expenses by 25%. The reasoning was that if the crime rate dropped by half (which would happen if we deported the darlings back to Africa), there would still need to be a criminal justice infrastructure. Also, the coefficient is to deflect liberal criticisms that the police treat them unfairly. The truth is the opposite, of course, but yanno . . .
He’s also not counting the costs of immigration, which he hints might be billed to the population that’s always been agitating for open borders. I’ll add that he doesn’t figure in the effects of Affirmative Action, which is costly to enforce and also a drain on companies that have to hire people other than those they’d prefer — and who perhaps aren’t the most competent.
Besides that, the only figures counted regarding the cost of crime seem to be government expenses such as policing, courts, and prisons. Obviously there’s an untold side to the expenses here regarding stolen and vandalized property, hospitalization and other medical care, domestic violence shelters, and so forth. How much is lost through muggings, burglaries, insurance losses, and so on? It would be interesting if someone were to reckon monetary costs of crime by race. I’ve seen plenty of videos of stores being looted, but it’s mostly blacks. (Why hasn’t America yet seen hordes of wayward Pennsylvania Dutch, Irish Catholics, and Bohunks leaping through shattered storefronts with pilfered TV sets?) Surely the Great Floyd Vibrancy of 2020 was a chunk of change just in itself! What else is being left uncounted? Whatever it is, it still only scratches the surface; for example, a murder victim can be buried for $10,000, but the family will be living with intangible harms from it for the rest of their lives.
Aside from massive race riots erupting since the 1960s, the costs are staggering regarding what happened to property values as a result of blacks taking over neighborhoods and ruining them. (Then they complain that we gave them bad neighborhoods to live in.) If all that urban decay since the late 1950s were compressed into a brief flash, the equivalent property damage might be the equivalent of an enemy submarine launching a few SLBMs.
The final results
An even better idea.
After calculating what might allegedly be owed as “reparations,” adjusting for the black fiscal impact, and applying interest, what are the final results? Will the videographer’s careful hedging in favor of Leftist/minoritist claims, as well as the omission of some obvious big ticket items, make Cori Bush’s fevered dreams come true? The effects are graphed out, too, going all the way back to 1865. The effect of compound interest results in an exponential climb. Uh-oh! It looks like we’ll have to pay out the nose, huh? Will we have to concede defeat to the guy from Tampa who believes he deserves three million dollars?
You can buy Greg Johnson’s It’s Okay to Be White here.
Around the 1940s, what began as an exponential curve starts to peter out. (Most likely, this is largely due to military expenses; we were protecting our colored friends from Hitler taking over America, right? By golly, if we hadn’t stopped that vicious guttersnipe, we’d all be speaking German! Those evil Nazi peckerwoods!) Then something unexpected happens. Beginning in the early 1960s, the curve starts going down! What? Looks like LBJ’s gibsmedats are kicking in big time. Oh, but the story isn’t over yet! By 1978, the “slavery debt” is paid off; it’s actually overpaid by $16 billion at that point. Whew!
But wait a minute: We didn’t shut off the gibsmedats faucet then, now did we? The calculations go on. The curve, driven by the relentless black fiscal impact, continues dropping below the zero line on the graph. Soon it’s plunging deeply. By the 2000s, the curve has fallen into the abyss.
For the final results as of 2021, the alleged “slavery debt” was overpaid by $28.776 trillion and change. That overpayment works out to about $930,000 per individual black! (It would be a lot higher, of course, if we acknowledge that the “reparations” claim is a shakedown attempt with no validity, and therefore the spreadsheet need only be a running total of black fiscal impact.) If they could demand that the government make collective payment to them for something that happened over a century and a half ago, then the government can make them collectively reimburse us for overpayments since 1978.
We want it back now
Blacks, I hereby put you on notice that you need to return this overpayment to Uncle Sam immediately. This is according to 2021 figures — but for your speedy cooperation, we’ll just write off the last two years. Following that, we’re shutting off your gibsmedats, freebies, bennies, perks, goodies, and emoluments. After that, you only get out of The System what you put in. Those who cannot make timely payment will receive a one-way ticket to Haiti (the default), or to any sub-Saharan African country of their choice.
Of course, there’s no chance in hell the Bidet administration will either make blacks pay up or give them the heave-ho. Cast aside their keystone underperforming minority group that bloc-votes for them no matter how lousy they perform? Lose their main political counterweight that they’ve used against ordinary white people since the 1960s (or arguably the 1940s)? Perish the thought!
But now that we’re doing thought experiments, what if the government were actually to make blacks repay their collective burden on society since 1978? Of course, the average black doesn’t have anywhere near $960,000. (According to the old joke, their cars are worth more than their houses.) If they had only put up with some austerity and invested much of their free goodies courtesy of Uncle Sam into the stock market, they’d rule Wall Street by now and make their Hebrew buddies look like paupers. Instead, the trillions of tax money were largely squandered.
But, again — what if? Extracting repayment in full would knock off roughly 90% of our crushing national debt. With the interest on the debt drastically trimmed back, that would of course be a tremendous relief to the budget. Naturally, so would doing away with the additional burden of supporting 40 million lazy ne’er-do-wells. If so, then maybe — just maybe — America would have a shot at balancing the budget, and getting out of the debt spiral and voodoo economy. It makes for a nice dream, anyway.
More seriously, America could have a bustling colony on Mars by now if not for these moochers.
Kai Murros said it the best:
The age of guilt is over. We will not apologize for our achievements. Our history cannot be used as a weapon against us. We are in debt to no-one. Our glorious past is a matter of pride and joy to us. Whatever we have done in the past only inspires us today for even greater deeds tomorrow. Those who feel that we have wronged them should be happy they are still alive.
Now for the final word about so-called reparations. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: It’s time to start using the other “N” word: no.

Hilarious Beau! Would anyone out there like to take a speculative guess on what percentage of negros actually think they have money coming?$350,000 per? 90% would have that blown in a week. Two weeks for the other 10%. On a positive note, giving them what they want would surely hasten the demise of this country.
Then those who squandered their $350K with nothing to show for it (which would be most of them) would start moaning that it wasn’t enough. I’m wondering what the average liberal thinks about all this nonsense – assuming perhaps too hastily that they actually think. They’re obviously very generous with other people’s money, of course, and never have encountered a stupid idea they didn’t like. But if this turkey flies, they’re going to be in the same pot of cannibal stew with everyone else.
I’ve often wondered whether the squandering wasn’t the whole point–then the money goes right into our long-nosed friends’ pockets. It’s an ingenious and diabolical way of taking it from us indirectly and for the sake of “justice.” Win-win.
I’m not sure, but I’m tempted to buy futures in gold chains and overpriced sneakers.
A Cadillac dealership would be the way to go. Blacks are car salesmen’s favorite customers. They don’t haggle about price and all they care about is how much the monthly payment will be. In this case it’ll be strictly cash.
Yes. We should create a Reparations Fund. We could call it The Poodytang Index Fund – symbol PTNG. It should leverage both the boom and bust in these consumer items by timing the long and short side of it:
Nike/Adidas/Reebok
Whoever makes those $500 Jerseys and $200 Baseball Caps (A garment manufacturer sub fund)
Under Armour
Timberland
All Rapper Clothing Lines
Kangol
Some REIT for the housing developments the Shippers, Auctioneers and Financiers, (henceforth referred to as SAFs), will surely create to, “divert”, funds
Central American and Carribbean Hooters Resorts
Mercedes and Lexus
Managed Straddles/Collars on NFTs/Crypto/AI to capitalize on the boom bust when the SAFs divert funds into Blacks In Tech scams
Create a Blacks Only Travel Agency
Whenever the subject of reparations comes up, I’ve always half-jokingly said that if the accounts payable sheet of American blacks was compared to their accounts receivable sheet, they would find themselves with a strong imbalance. Well, looks like someone on our side has gone and actually done it. Solid work.
Before this, I guessed that maybe the combined diversity cost of having blacks in our society added up to maybe two or three trillion in tax revenue. That would be a horribly scandalous burden on society all by itself. Not in my wildest dreams would I have guessed that it’s actually $28.776 trillion – and that’s after cutting them a break for back wages of their long-deceased ancestors.
Excellent essay! (Now if I could only get that song out of my head!)
There you go:

Blacks behave exactly as Zionists do in this regard because they do not actual want a ‘treaty.’ That would place actual perimeters on their eternal demands, eventually ending their gravy train. Black bellyaching, like the Holohoax, is designed to never end. It would also provide an actual investigation into ‘slavery,’ which I happen to believe is a conspiracy theory. There is zero chance it was as bad as they pretend it was. How on earth were there two failed (minuscule) repatriations throughout the entire Antebellum epoch. More importantly, how on did they actually go along with sharecropping on the same plot of land as their former slavers if it were so bad? How could plantation owners actually make the argument that they treated their slaves better than Northerners treated their factory workers?
Exactly—both are perpetual motion machines. I would actually welcome a small, reasonable “reparations,” because it would be like a settlement in a civil case—no more payments or considerations necessary. They don’t want that.
They (and the Zionists too) have to keep harping on past events, and making them out to be as bad as possible, no matter how long ago it was or how much they have to exaggerate. The heat has to stay on, or the pressure leaves the boiler, and the grievance engine grinds to a halt. This racket continues until either the public 1) stops feeling guilty about it, or 2) realizes they’ve been scammed.
Thanks for covering this issue. Given that according to Ranker, 90% of the greatest minds in math and science are white guys born over a century ago, it seems most of the post bronze age technological advancements are a gibsmedat from them to everyone else.
Very true – but if they admitted that Whites made the world a much better place, that would get in the way of them complaining incessantly.
Brilliantly laid out for any reasonable person to analyze. Sadly we’re not ruled by reasonable people. In the fevered minds of dreck like the excrement from St Louis, do they exempt blacks from taxation to fund these insane schemes? In other words, are successful blacks not on the hook for lifting up their race mates? We know they’ve been enjoying the government cheese for decades and yet can’t seem quantify their good fortune since forever being placed here rather than the Somalia or Rwanda? I’m in full support of providing one way boat passage back from whence their ancestors came. It’s only fair.
As far as I know, no proponents have given serious thought to where the money is supposed to come from, other than the government’s unlimited milky teats as usual. The problem is, of course, that the government doesn’t produce wealth; to come up with a huge wad of money, they have to tax it, borrow it, or make the printing presses go brrrr brrrr brrrr – all of which will cause an economic catastrophe if done on that scale.
Psychologists say “variable reinforcement” is the best way to encourage a behavior. Giving rewards regularly, but not every time. Occasionally payouts in response to demands for them is exactly this. The endless spending on social programs that disproportionately go to minorities never seems to count against these reparations requests – it will be an increasingly important pushback. They know they will never get their numbers, but they are hoping it will bully congress into some concessions and ongoing affirmative action. Middle class white folks seem to have no problem granting some of these concessions to ward off not having to have blacks move in en masse to their progressive utopias. Unfortunately they aren’t considering the kids are going to have to pay it off.
Any lump sum payouts would also inspire any number of scams or just plain misspending. All of which would be blamed on… racism. Thus a need for more handouts. “The work is never done”.
Twain said there are ‘3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics’, the bar chart of whites vs latinos vs blacks is per individual. It is not considering that there are 50% more Hispanics in the US relative to blacks. And while the black population is slightly shrinking, the Latinx populus grows mucho grande. So while the black populus is quite vocal, the porous border is a ‘growing’ problem.
Where should reparations stop? Should all the pillaging Genghis Khan did deserve reparation? The Vikings were up to some nasty business, too. Ottoman empire, you betcha. The oil rich Arab countries must owe someone. Perhaps Goths owe something for bad fashion taste.
There’s something to be said for the intermittent rewards tactic. On the other hand, I’d rather they just leave! They’ll never be happy here, so they should form their own country in areas where they’re a supermajority, or better yet, pack their bags for their home continent. They won’t like either option, but by then it won’t be our problem, and they won’t have us to complain about.
“They’ll never be happy here” as you say is exactly their modus operandi. The press and academia teach them to lean into it… “The work is never done.” No matter what reparations are given it will never be enough. If they exceed whites and asians in wealth, then the reparations will be about preserving their position, squashing dissent and messaging to “never forget”. Sounds familiar. They already enjoy a much higher standard of living than is average in third world countries. Free cash for nothing will be a bell ringing that will echo around the world. Can you think of any continents with an extremely high birthrate that will set sail for the USA? Meanwhile, the enormous bell rings will cause tinnitus for those nearest to its pealing.
We Europeans from Evropa to Australia need to get serious now (no, ages ago), we need to embark on our Breakaway Civilization of 100% total separation in perpetuity & resume our quest for knowledge & head back to the stars (1972 last time Whitey was on the Moon) as the explorers we r (and yes, the 100% includes keeping the White libtards away from us & our posterity). Unless we alter our thinking & focus ONLY on our ppl, we will eventually not survive. Our children will live in a hellhole as minorities & will rightly hold us in contempt.
I agree with your sentiments, as would many commenters and regular readers here, but in our Breakaway Civilization I hope it will be considered poor form to use Newspeak-adjacent pseudo-words like ‘r’ and ‘ppl’ (very Hebraic). The rationale for such abbreviations, namely character limits on SMS and the difficulty of text entry with a numeric keypad, vanished long ago but the scars on the language remain.
Everybody is able to read & understand what I am writing. We r discussing ideas to save our ppl, &, u r concern with my using ‘r’ in lieu of ‘are’. Our priorities r skewed.
Lol sux 2BU, amirite?
It’s a minor gripe but yes I abhor Newspeak for the reasons I’ve already given. It’s nothing personal against you but thirty years ago nobody would have even thought to write like this if they hoped to be taken seriously.
If they start giving out reparations to our melanin-enhanced diversifiers, the solution is simple: invest all your money in business selling rims, bling and Lexuses (Lexi?).
All dem reparashun dollas won’t be in black hands for very long.
These reminds me of The Culture War martial industrial song “people across the world are now being enslaved because they have not learned to pronounce the word NO.”
Good article, Beau. Here are my two cents from 2014. If one truly appreciates what the word “reparations” means—i.e., to “repair” and return to the state that existed before the “damage” was done—true reparations would involve severely cutting black income and life expectancy.
For African Americans, the bitter legacy of slavery and Jim Crow is having an average annual income ten times higher than their brethren in Africa. They can swim in a river of tears all the way to the bank.
I recently read an article about a man who spent 24 years in prison for a murder. Shaurn Thomas of Philly ultimately had his case overturned due to a “missing police file” and was awarded over 4 million dollars in restitution. Great opportunity to get your life back on track, right? Well, he decided to go back to selling drugs and is now the main suspect in a murder over a $1200 drug debt(in which he allegedly told his getaway driver that this was his third homicide). Not even 4 million dollars could entice him to change his ghetto ways. What do you think will happen if every single black person gets six or seven figures for free, aside from completely devastating our economy? There will be a nationwide bloodbath in every major city, the likes of which we have never seen. They will never be satisfied.

True indeed. After they’ve squandered tens of trillions of dollars over the decades, a big lump sum will go up in smoke too. Then they’ll start bellyaching for more.
Let’s look at the claim that “black labor built America:”
So then black labor built the country’s railroads, the industrial belts of the northeast, the farms of the Great Plains, the aviation complexes of the West Coast?
Two of the major wealth producers of California today are Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Perhaps blacks provided the labor which built the film studios and the genius which invented the motion picture camera … until D. W. Griffith stormed in with his night riders and bamboozled them all into the ‘hood? Or is it that campus black studies programs ginned up the STEM innovations which were then fiendishly hacked by IT cartels and the memory of such appropriation erased via some sort of epic Blue Pill?
Consider: some otherwise progressive states legally excluded blacks from immigrating into them (see Oregon). How did these states ever survive, much less build up their wealth, without all that black labor? An obvious mystery for the ages.
Let’s take this further:
If black labor is so efficient at creating wealth, why can’t they even maintain once prosperous cities such as Detroit, Baltimore, Newark, Oakland, Chicago’s South Side and, yes, Selma? Let us not forget Selma, ground zero and showcase of the Civil Rights Revolution.
You’d think that with all the war on poverty, affirmative action, government contracts, corporate block grants and free market enterprise zoning, one would see these cities emerging as wealth producing powerhouses, leaving YT run cities behind in the dust. Yet for reasons inexplicable to the casual observer, such is not the case.
Regardless, the conclusion of the article is on the money: the proper response to the reparations racket is a great big “NO!”
No, you do not get reparations for slavery. No, you do not get affirmative action. No, you do not get black studies programs. No, you cannot riot because a thug who looks like you gets offed by the cops.
The people pushing “reparations” need to remember they are a minority and a not very brilliant one at that. If they stopped to think about it, they would not be poking the majority. Because sooner or later, the reaction will come and it will be terrible. Look at the post-Reconstruction White Man’s Revolution. Or the European conquest of Africa in the 19th century. Or today’s rising tide of White Nationalism.
So let’s all play nice. And the first step is when the topic of “reparations” comes up, the answer is that great big NO!
Indeed, if they were such great builders, they’d at least clean up their own neighborhoods. The only part of their claim that’s true is that they made some plantation owners rich in the Antebellum South – but then that wealth got looted and burnt to the ground during the Civil War. What about their toils afterward? Blacks are an eighth of the population – but what do they suppose the other 7/8ths was doing?
I happened to be in Alabama last fall and drove through Selma. My other half turned to me and asked, “Are we in Haiti?” Much hilarity ensued. Bad as Selma was, though, it was Beverly Hills next to Tuskegee. They sure know how to take care of their supposed sacred places.
No matter what or how much you throw into the maw of a bottomless pit, it can never fill it up. All of it is wasted. All of it.
