I need everyone against Reparations to turn over their business, their, homes, their land, their cars, $$ & stand on the side of the road like newly freedman did and figure life out from zero. And let the US create a new Jim Crow for the next 150 years and then we can be even.

If only 12% US college students are Black, how would it increase wealth of Black Americans by 40%? Also if it does not change your wages earned, how does it increase your wealth - you just keep more of your paycheck. At best it improves credit score and that is a maybe.
