Grant statehood to ALL American territories and combine them into east and west Oceana.

 

Give DC statehood whilst combining Dakota's.

 

Have N/S Carolina and Virginia/W Virginia each nominate a tag team to fight to prevent merger OR if Hawaii refuses to join west Oceana merge both.

 

Sell ppv streaming rights for tag match if Hawaii joins West oceana.

I refuse to have West Virginia back in the Commonwealth

Reparations will be used to fill the coffers of soon dying industries (that are supported by the poor), or an economic stimulus in the time of serve decline, once all other measures have been exhausted. When reparations happen know, the end of the USA (financially as we know it) isn't far away.

 

Through the past weeks I've had many discussion on this properly, obviously the best reparations payment would obviously be land. But since that isn't going to happen. One of the best concepts was the government creating a black currency / cryptocurrency to be only used in the community, giving the black population its own side economy. Then there needs to be options for buying back into the dollar economy with increasing returns as time moves on, giving families a way to create generational wealth (you know what really matters). You'd have to start at least one for one, otherwise you'd have a portion of the community trading two Obamas for one Washington, like Snap money.

A black economy that’s separate but equal, what could go wrong?

You say it as if together and "equal" works. Its fantasy to remove the "".

 

But we know what could go wrong, we can revisit history, which is why you learn from it and build. So I prefer to ask, what can go right? Plenty is the answer.

Crypto currency is never a solution lmao

It shouldn’t but it always surprises me how people on this board can’t see a simple example as just that, and not the end all be all.
 

Plus, you focused on the later piece, ignoring the whole, you can be better than that Sir/Ma’am.

An insular economy to empower one racial group won't grow generational wealth when the group is relatively poor to begin with and also still depends on the outside economy to function. Without outside investment, it's just a slow bleed from the community.

 

As far as building long term, generational wealth, I agree that land would be best.

You almost had it. The best reparations payment would be land and the most economically feasible way to do that would be in the form of highly subsidised home loans. That would give the African American community the mobility many just don't have.

And we also need to fully fund Medicaid so there are no look back periods or asset recovery for LTC services (which virtually no one can afford without Medicaid) so that homes and land can actually pass the wealth down to your heirs.

Access to debt is not an answer; that’s figuratively keeping people in chain. The IMF and its ilk take the same approach helping “liberated” countries. You be better off just giving them the money to buy houses, but in both cases white America would benefit significantly from those actions. Plus, black people don’t need to mobilize to “white” areas, that already devastated the poor black community, and enriched all other communities.

 

Land will always be a no go because the PTB (I know, I know) understand that is real freedom. It’s why the government made an effort in the south to tell economically free people they were poor and paid them “handsomely” for their land.

 

@b_m_b_m_b_m agreed on health for the community, that would do wonders. Though I’d need new facilities in the black areas to be run and staffed by people who look like the community. The black community (especially the poorest) has a significant lack of trust of the medical community; and rightfully so.

It’s a stupid idea. Hawaii is a chain of islands and Michigan’s pieces are right next to each other, separated by lakes. It’s not the same. At all. 

 

Okay, how about we include Oklahoma or Missouri and make Puerto Rico a state too then?
