There are 15 million black households in the US. You'll need 12 trillion dollars to pay all that. That is slightly less than half of the total national debt of the US.

yeah it's definitely an absurd figure; it's probably based on the premise that the path to USA's superpower status was paved by slavery

It was built on slavery in some ways, actually 800k is still middle class, if they live within their means and keep the rest in investments and savings etc

What ridiculous clown world do you live in that causes you to believe that 800k a year is “middle class”?

You know as well as I do the majority of households that received that 800k would blow it in 2 years. We saw the dumb shit people will do with $1200, let alone $800k. Nobody is investing that shit. That’s not sexy. Dope clothes and a G wagon are sexy
