--------
Tariq Nasheed discussed the complexities of reparations for foundational Black Americans, setting forth the bold starting point of $20 trillion. Nasheed, who advocates for outright cash payments, acknowledged Native Americans' historical precedent as a model. During the conversation, Vlad confesses a previous skepticism about reparations, citing national financial constraints. However, witnessing the government’s COVID-19 financial responses, he recanted his stance and endorsed direct cash reparations.
Yet, Vlad highlighted a contradiction in the Native American reparations model, noting that despite receiving land grants, tax exemptions, and casino income, Native Americans still possess the highest poverty rates among racial groups in the U.S. Nasheed countered, arguing that the perceived prosperity in certain reservations wasn't universal, and many registered "Native Americans" were actually White individuals exploiting the system for benefits. Nasheed concluded that, unlike the Native American experience, foundational Black Americans would judiciously utilize reparations to stimulate the broader economy, ensuring significant societal advancements.
