In 2005, JP Morgan Chase, currently the biggest bank in the US, admitted that two of its subsidiaries - Citizens' Bank and Canal Bank in Louisiana - accepted enslaved people as collateral for loans. If plantation owners defaulted on loan payment the banks took ownership of these slaves. JP Morgan was not alone. The predecessors that made up Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are among a list of well-known US financial firms that benefited from the slave trade.

Exactly

Who's fault that the opportunity was missed? The pain and suffering of slavery are still alive and did not end in 1865. Get a grip on yourself.

There have been several government policies throughout history that disproportionately excluded or disadvantaged black Americans, limiting their access to wealth-building opportunities. Here are a few examples: 1. Slavery and Jim Crow laws: Slavery itself was a government-sanctioned institution that denied black Americans their freedom and economic opportunities. Even after the abolition of slavery, the implementation of Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and perpetuated systemic inequalities. 2. Redlining: In the 1930s, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) implemented a practice known as redlining, which systematically denied mortgage loans and financial services to predominantly black neighborhoods. This discriminatory practice hindered black Americans' ability to purchase homes and build equity, contributing to long-term wealth disparities. 3. Discriminatory lending practices: In the mid-20th century, practices such as "racial zoning" and "restrictive covenants" prevented black Americans from buying property in certain areas. Additionally, discriminatory lending practices, such as predatory lending and racial bias in mortgage lending, further limited black Americans' access to credit and fair loan terms. 4. Exclusion from New Deal programs: Some New Deal programs implemented during the 1930s, such as the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act, initially excluded agricultural and domestic workers-occupations predominantly held by black Americans. These exclusions limited access to crucial social safety nets and worker protections. These policies and practices, among others, contributed to the racial wealth gap and hindered black Americans' ability to accumulate wealth and access economic opportunities. ✂️👉🏾✅

If we held previous generations accountable for all atrocities against all people, not many societies would be free from debt. As far as equity, both of my parents' families were immigrants in the early 1900s. My wife's family was mostly from Germany and arrived between the mid 1600s and 1900. Some were indentured servants in the slums of NY. None had anything to do with slavery. Some of her relatives also died in the Civil War - fighting for the North. Why should any of my taxes or my children's taxes go to pay for repirations, when we had nothing whatsoever to do with it and even lost family to help end the worst of the atrocities towards Black people? What about people of color who immigrated here after the fact? Does an immigrant from Upper Volta get reparations?

Sadly, the "normal" involved is boundless greed and corrupted government that is providing "oversight" of greedy corporations. These specific aspects of that come to mind: Companies have been underpaying for assets taken from public lands ... legally "stealing" from taxpayers when, in fact, much more of the profits from use of public assets should be used to pay government expenses. More recently it has become even more obvious than ever that fuel companies have been price gouging, with increased fuel charges having a domino effect on prices across the entire economy resulting in inflation. Businesses have "unions" (though, generally they oppose for workers) ... it's just that business "unions" are called "trade associations" instead. This includes financial institutions. Banks, that get money from the supposed government/private "partnership" of "the Fed" at a very nominal interest rate meet to CHOOSE to inflate their profit, gouging individual and business consumers and increasing the inflation. Monopoly and near monopoly. The greediest of the wealthiest pursue monopoly because controlling supply enables the control of pricing. The ever widening economic gap will continue to grow ever wider unless and until the wealthy cease to be able to use their wealth as political power to write the economic laws and commerce rules that keep that our corrupted capitalism self serving for the rich.

The US should pay reparations to the families who lost Union Soldiers fighting to free slaves before paying anyone for reparations.

Every society is history, including African ones, used slavery for thousands of years. European societies were the first in history to morally oppose slavery and abolish it in their own nations. We cannot tear ourselves apart trying to relitigate what happened in the past and we cannot continue acting like one group of Americans is inherently more guilty than the others.

In 1807 the British Government wanted to abolish slavery, and tried the act failed. So, in 1833 the British Government wanted to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire and tried again with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. The British aristocracy who had plantations the islands did not want this. So, in order to pass the act the British government aka the British taxpayer paid the British slaver holders what would amount to billions of dollars in today’s money to free their slaves. In order to get this money Britain used 40% of its national budget to buy freedom for all slaves in the Empire. Britain borrowed such a large sum of money for the Slavery Abolition Act that it wasn’t paid off until 2015,” a graphic posted by the political activist Raheem Kassam reads. This means that living British citizens helped pay for the end of the slave trade with their taxes. Using this and current woke logic the descendants of slaves owe the British government billions of dollars.

The Consitution was written in 1776 and their descendents are still following this document in 2023! I guess Coleman hasn't heard of the Seminole War, and Rosewood. Many of the descendents received Reparations!

It's the entire western system that's to blame for pain and suffering. The whole thing needs replacing.

Where is all this money going to come from ? ... the taxpayer of course. Will black taxpayers have an exemption? It will take generations to make this payout. People seem to think that money is endless and that the 86% who aren't black have cash just lying around that they will be happy to give blacks because 8 generations ago they have a long dead ansestor who was a slave.

As far as never owning slaves is the narrative they try to push. It's been swept so far under the rug ever since. It's like a game of Monopoly. You start off with a few 500 dollar bills and a few 100 dollar bills to get you started in this game of life. But for Black's in America the majority never got to start off with any money and was forced to roll the dice anyway and landed on go directly to jail. No inheritance. Yes there are a few who made it but that percentage of the overall majority is very small. Their are other nations of people who have received reparations. Blacks were promised 40 acres and a mule and where did that end up going? You can't honestly sit here and say that white people haven't benefited with a wild head start from slavery which even after the emancipation proclamation was passed slavery took on a new form in the prison systems. Why do you think there was a Civil Rights movement in the 1st place? It never got repaired. They gave welfare programs and made people dependent on the government instead of setting them up to be self sustainable. Now I'm not saying slavery is like the way it was before but if you don't understand the new form it took then maybe that's something you should check into.

What happens if I’m mixed? Or if my family immigrated here way after that?

Two years ago, I had a client who’s in High School had a history project regarding to Reparations, as well as the Wealth Gap when it comes to Black people compared to other races. The project was basically how should reparations be divided when it comes to plans for Economics, as well as education. With the money should it be divided for Black people to have their own businesses/homes, as well as educational opportunities. As a 41 year old Black female with 2 college degrees. As a Mother to a 9 year old Daughter. I never had a project like that in school before, which was an eye opener. I didn’t know that Blacks were almost 300 years behind white counterparts when it comes to the wealth gap. It makes sense! A lot of white people had generational wealth from slavery; while slaves had strive and struggle from nothing to get ahead after slavery was over. The fact that Africans was stolen from their land and brought over to America to be slaves and be treated worse than an animal. Even though, slavery ended, but it was also Jim Crow and segregation. The thing about reparations is I support reparations! However, are we ever going to see it! That’s like in this country hate crimes are still being done towards black people and we’re still seeing this today, which is the New Jim Crow!

I've never owned a slave and none of these people have ever been a slave. I'm not going to pay for something that I never did and happened so long ago my parents, parents weren't even born yet. How long is it going to be someone else's fault?

For anyone comparing what happened to blacks with ANY other race living in America (or anywhere else in the last 300 years) show me ONE other race (in the last 300 years) that was enslaved by another race for countless generations... Show me one other example (in the last 300 years) where basically an entire race throughout the entire country was enslaved... Had their children enslaved. Their grandchildren enslaved. Their great grandchildren. Their great-great grand children.... Show me another country (again, in the last 300 years) that was 100% economically successful because of a slave race (black) while the controlling race (whites) were made the most wealthy and powerful race on the planet (which they still are today). If you don't agree with reparations... That's fine... But comparing the enslavement of blacks with what happened to the Irish, Chinese, your granddad, or anyone else, is disingenuous af... I'd even argue that African Americans got it worse than Native Americans... Native Americans: Wrecked by disease, followed by a pretty one sided "war" with the whites, that they ultimately lost. Followed by the stealing of all of their lands, followed by their placement into reservations. Followed by... Wait for it... Reparations... Flash forward to today. The country is still ruled by white men, but... They LOVE Native Americans. White people can't wait to tell you how they're part (insert tribe here). Compare that to being a slave your entire life AND knowing that your children (and all your descendants for hundreds of years) will also be slaves (you are also forced to breed)... Then fast forward to today where a large percentage of the people who run this country (still white men ofc) secretly, or openly in the comment section, hate you.. Imho, it's not even close who got it worse.

I think its hilarous how the racists, especially Italians, who denied their black DNA , suddenly want to be black. Immigrant hustle.

We as a people have to constantly stand in front of the unjust judges of our nation and stand and stand and fight and fight in the court room , on our knees, day in day out to get those things that belong to us. Those who do not want their reparations send your check back to Uncle Sam when it comes but me I want mine.

what planet are you living in !! we have all the same laws and opportunities as any other American. we can all go to school and become whatever we want..if we work for it,,why should we deserve other Americans' tax money who had nothing to do with it? just as we had nothing to do with it? if someone won't hire you because you are black then take it up with the proper authorities as any other race would do! there are laws put in place for that, we are living in the 1800s son !!

How many courtrooms have you been on your knees in? You just want money you didn’t earn and don’t deserve. You didn’t suffer in the cotton fields but expect payment for someone else’s suffering. It’s disgusting, earn your own money.

You are a total fool, Because those were people who were directly affected, I.E. The Japanese that were put into camps during the war. They were STILL ALIVE. not some crap that happened 165 years ago you toad stool .

Your statistics are definitely disputable. Statistics can be easily manipulated to what the organization , company or persons. This man is full of garbage. This crap really has to stop. His logic is so sos so flawed.

This young man clearly don't have grandkids, and couldn't sympathize with any struggling black family be it three or forth or fifth generation. Reparations is needed here, we was not born into no generational wealth.....

Sure give them reparations, then send a bill for all the damage caused during protesting.
