Austin Offscript

I think that would create a situation where the U.S.

couldn't pay that debt.

It's impossible.

However, you just said it yourself.

Segregation ended about 60 years ago.

Women in the United States had gained full autonomy in 1975.

Martin Luther King was killed in 1968.

Well, right.

My point is that the average lifespan of a human being is around 70 to 80 years, give or take.

So you just admitted that if the civil rights movement ended only 70 years ago, that means that some of the lasting generational impacts of Jim Crow, of slavery, can still be felt today, which is why my grandmother would deserve reparations.

She's still alive.

My father was born in 1965.

I would argue that he and my mother deserve some form of reparations.

And I would argue that the children of these people...

deserve them.

Let's be very clear that during the founding of this nation, with the passage of the Homestead Acts, 200 million acres of land were given to white European peasant farmers.

They were then enhanced by giving them county agents.

Say that again?

The Homestead Acts were passed shortly after slavery started in the United States.

What they did was give away 240 million acres of land in the West and the Midwest.
