Guests on Dr. Phil's show debated over the morality and economic practicality of sending reparations to the Black descendants of the American slave trade.
Dr. Phil hosted an episode about the morality and practicality of sending reparations to the Black descendants of slavery in the United States.give reparationsDarity, who co-authored the book,"From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century," made the case for such a program by offering some theories on how it would be accomplished.
Duke University professor William Darity suggested a way for reparations to be paid to the Black descendants of American slaves.He described his"objective," is to"eliminate the racial wealth gap in the United States," noting that this"would require an expenditure of $14 trillion, which would be distributed evenly across the 40 million Black American descendants of U.S. slavery. That would be approximately $350,000 per person.
Los Angeles long-time resident, Walter Foster, age 80, holds up a sign as the Reparations Task Force meets to hear public input on reparations at the California Science Center in Los Angeles on Sept. 22, 2022."There has never been a point in the United States history where Black and White incomes were equivalent," Darity shot back."But I’m not talking about income, anyway. I’m talking about the wealth disparity.
Dr. Phil praised the professor for giving a"history lesson" with"indisputable" facts, but suggested his solution is impractical.
