Roland Martin’s interview with Martin Luther King III was
excellent. When The Tom Joyner Show focused on the plight of Black America in
the 21st Century,it really peaked my interest with all the things
going on in Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago and
large and small cities around this nation.
A friend and a client of mind discussed this subject just
this past Sunday. I’ve concluded for more than 2 years that many of Black
America’s problems are somehow related to the lack of economic empowerment. We
have never been paid for the “40 acres and a mule”ordered over 150 years ago.
We have not received our inheritance(reparations} due us from after the Civil
War. Now is the time for the US government to make good on this promise.
Reparations is surely
needed now. Wouldn’t that be great? I got the plan too! My plan is called The
America Reparation Plan and it will work 100% of the time even with a lot of resistance
even though it is in everybody’s best interest to support this plan.. As a
matter of fact even if you disagree with this plan it will help you too no
matter what economic class you belong to. My plan will be the most prolific economic
stimulus this Nation has ever experienced. This Nation’s economy will be on
steroids. That’s no hype!
Let me explain briefly. My proposal is that about 20 million
Black American adults will receive about $1million over a 30 year period. That’s about $2500 to
$3000 a month for 30 years. This way
this amount will not break the Bank of the US Treasury. It’s affordable.
To say that it will be too costly will be a none issue. That will eliminate
that excuse. This will amounts to about 600 billion dollars a year. This a very small amount of investment that
will pay huge dividends in a short time. I predict that The Black neighborhoods
will change drastically in about 3
years.
Black people will be empowered by this money. New homes will
be built, some repairs, new cars, new appliances, etc. Every segment of economy
will be affected. More money, more jobs, more income increases throughout the
economy will be consistent with steady economic growth. Who can be against
that? Also there will be more profits
for corporations. More demands equal more profits. More profits equal more
dividends and more employment and more taxes. All levels of Government can do
more with more revenues. The Schools all over the country will have the
opportunity to be excellent because income is an indicator of how great our
schools will be. Problems solved right? It’s not a cure all but it will
definitely beat what’s going on now.
New businesses will be created. There will new employees
hired. There will be more money to spend in an ever growing economy.
When The American Reparation Plan is implemented by Congress
it will lift the US economy into the stratosphere and the economies like China
will not be able to compete with America’s. Who knows, maybe will be able to loan China some money one day in
the near future when The American Reparation Plan is implemented. The whole
world’s economy will be impacted positively.
