By my back-of-the-napkin math, white America owes black America about 10 trillion dollars in stolen wealth.

The are roughly 50 million black Americans out of a population of 330M. Americans own roughly $100T in wealth. So black Americans should own about 50 / 330 * 100T or $15T. But they currently only own about $5.5T.

We could start by allocating some our our Federal tax dollars to making black Americans whole.

I believe in reparations but not your methodology (I did not downvote you).
