I'm All For Reparations. Before you jump to conclusions, follow my thinking.  I'm all for giving blacks reparations.  In fact, I'd say $250,000 for each black man, woman and child that is at least 51% black.  That would be a lot of money, for sure and it does come with conditions.  I'd even sweeten the pot with a free cruise with free food, booze, gambling, entertainment on board.  The U.S. chartered ships would line both coasts and all navigable inland waterways that lead to the ocean.  The ships sail to Liberia where these relatives of former slaves disembark and pick up their money.  Why Liberia?  Read their history.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Liberia   After the Civil War, the slaves were supposed to be repatriated back to Africa and Liberia was chosen.  Look at their flag.  https://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/flags/countrys/zzzflags/lrlarge.gif   But we as a country dropped the ball back then and the plan didn't happen. Why would I be for this?  There are many, many reasons but the first of which is to cut our losses.  It would be far less expensive in the long run considering the cost of urban black decay in America where housing, schools, healthcare, transportation, prisons, food stamps, social unrest, lack of education, etc, etc. is eating away at our country like a growing cancer.  We've poured billions into trying to make it right for the blacks and have failed miserably.  So, let's get rid of this problem once and for all.  They would be far happier in a country that doesn't have "white privilege" and where they have the resources to create the country they want.    Next, what happens here as a result?  America awakes to a new day where crime is seriously decreased and a majority of prisons can be closed and repurposed.  Education does an about face. Class size is reduced.  Instead of teaching resources devoted to trying to get underachievers to graduate high school, they can be spent on students that want to achieve and aspire to higher education, technical schools, building trades apprenticeships and learning to be productive members of society.   Inner city property jumps in value as developers pour money into past ghettos and slums and add these properties to the tax roles once again.  Rebuilding American cities would create lots of jobs and transform neighborhoods that were once eyesores to places where people would want to live.  Mass transit could be scaled to what is really needed without the need for political correctness in serving high crime, low economically viable routes.  Welfare goes to a fraction of what it was, far less subsidized housing, healthcare, food-stamps, etc.   The best part is once they leave and accept reparations, we are done fighting with them.  They have no further claims and will not be re-admitted to the U.S. Our debt is paid in full.  The educated and trustworthy blacks who don't want reparations sign a waiver as citizens of the U.S.  These blacks have worked and paid their way like the rest of us.  They are not on the public dole and want nothing to do with ghetto queens and welfare checks.  They maintain the right to live here forfeiting any claim to reparations.
