Still cheaper I thing. [/quote] There approximately 37,144,530 black people in the US. 17,000,000,000,000 / 37,144,530 = $457,671.70 per person [/quote]

Slavery reparations could carry a $17 trillion price tag
A new bill would calculate potential costs of reparations — and by Yahoo Finance estimates, these could reach as high as $17.1 trillion.
Last week, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held the first hearing in a decade on H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. The bill was first introduced in 1989 by former Congressman John Conyers (D-MI). Conyers reintroduced the bill each year until his retirement in 2017 — and each year, the bill languished in Congress.
