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.

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. ✂️👉🏾✅

Simple question but why is nobody asking for reparations from the people that actually enslaved these people and sold them into the slave trade, I find it strange that this is never mentioned and black African Americans seem to just accept and are even proud of their African brothers whose ancestors enslaved them in the first place, It is odd when you think about it particularly with the amount of hatred towards whites for simply being white. Why is there never any mention of reparations for the direct descendants of the white people that fought in the civil war to end slavery particularly those that were killed for the cause and why don't Black Americans love these same decedents instead of thinking that they are the enemy

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? If we go back to Native Americans, the Lakota killed off most of the Pawnee... should members of the Lakota tribe be found to pay reparatoins to the ancestors of the Pawnee tribe?

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.

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. Reparations was paid in the blood of the hundreds of thousands of European Americans who died to free the slaves in this country and make it one of the first anti-slavery nations in human history

@ninobrown724 You must be speaking for yourself. Never is a strong word. Have you ever heard of modern day slavery? I agree with you that yes we need to work like everyone else. But even that statement is easier said than done. Because 9 times out of 10 you are going to work for? Who is your boss right now that hired you. 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.

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)...

Im sorry for the way their families arrived here and were treated before and after the civil war... If your going to go for reparations, then go after the people who were the slave owners.... Not just any white folks ... Just because youve decided your owed... Many Blacks also had slaves and it was oyther africans that captured the progenerators of those familes whose beginnings here in america 4:29 were slaves... Further America wasnt the only country that had slaves and many European countries continued to have slaves after 1865, hidden in the jungles of South America... So where would you cut off the reparations...

I was removed from my job at HACLA because someone decided to give it to a younger white woman. That not only impacted my lifestyle while I workef but also my returement. It was common knowledge that I did my job extremely well while the white woman's only qualification was her skin. I was forced to leave California when I retired because my pension would not allow me to survive there. That's only one example of how I have been treated because of my heritage. I deserve reparations from the government, not some individual white persons who have no problems with giving Ukrainians billions and who never complained about giving housing vouchers and Social Security checks to russian jews living in west LA and beverly hills. Their handicap: they didn't speak english. If you can give billions to Ukrainians and others, you can give me and mine millions. Look how much is being spent on illegal aliens in NYC today. The stupid hatred of my skin is enough to justify reparations. That hatred has been used to deny us housing, jobs and freedom. I sat in.the court room watching Harold C Brown find EVERY Black person who appeared before him guilty while exonerating every white boy, even one who admitted he was guilty.

@@marianlincoln9008 😆🤔How am I a fool? The U.S. government was 💯% complicit in slavery, not just individual slave owners. The European countries that owned slaves in the Caribbean, South and Central America should pay reparations too. They sure had zero problem giving slave owners their reparations after the Civil War. Yes, many countries had slavery. But how many countries had slaves that helped build the most powerful nation on Earth without getting so much as a dime, while their descendents still faced unfair laws and policies for over a century afterwards as well as persecution until this very day?

The hustle is in the question. Though I believe you can, one doesn't have to go back to slavery to make the case for reparations. Just look at the constitutional violations in the 40's, 50', 60's that robbed Blacks of generational wealth, spawned the street gang culture that's pervasive in low-income Black neighborhoods, etc. All you have to do is read The Color of Law (also available as an audio book) to learn why reparations are deserved.

give a man a loaf of bread or a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to bake or how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime... The same goes for money (reparations) give a person $50,000 or $100,000 and you support them for a year or two, give them the means to make that money themselves by providing school, college, equal opportunity and you thus support them for a lifetime.
