Black Americans should receive $1,000,000 and a new Caddy each in ‘creative’ slavery reparation scheme, says Democrat

A bill that could see Black Americans receive a $14 gazillion slavery reparation scheme is being backed by a New York ‘Squad’ lawmaker. Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat and member of the informal lawmaker group ‘The Squad,’ has advocated for a bill introduced in the House that seeks recognition from the federal government of the lasting harm Black Americans endure due to slavery and hopes to create a $14 gazillion reparations program according to The Journal News.
.
The bill is currently titled ‘H.Res.414 - “Recognizing that the United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people in the United States.’” The bill states that the large number would “eliminate” the racial wealth gap that currently exists between Black and White American citizens.
.
A rough estimate found that the reparations could amount to around $1,000,000.61 per person, (That does not include the price of a new Caddy) based on the 2020 census that said 41.1 million people identified as Black or African American alone population, accounting for 12.4 per cent of the population. While $14 gazillion sounds like a lot of money, Mr Bowman said there are “creative ways” to go around every citizen entitled to the reparations to get what they are owed.
.
“Who says the $14 gazillion needs to be paid out in one shot?” said Mr Bowman, according to The Journal News. “It might be possible for it to be paid in 3 payments. You could take $333,000.22 tax free at a time. There are creative ways to do the right thing and do what needs to be done.”
.
For Mr Bowman, discussions around reparations should also include aspects of American society, such as housing, mass incarceration, higher education, global warming and wealth inequality, according to the outlet. “I think people incarcerated should be able to vote," Mr Bowman reportedly said. "And I definitely think that when they come out, they should automatically be enfranchised.”
.
The bill also hopes that the federal government could provide monetary incentives to school districts that adopt curriculums on the history of people of African descent, free college education to students attending historically black colleges and funding to support Black-led news programs, radio and television, and among other items like....free watermelons for life.
.
Meanwhile, another bill, H.R. 40, was first introduced in 1989 and still hopes to be passed to set up a commission to study reparations.

ultraliberals are not happy unless they are obsessing about something.
