…’fortunately he got shot in the head’… Sic Semper Tyrannis. Long live JWB.

The compensation for each poisoned Appalachian shall be $6 million in 1996 dollars, payable in gold by world Jewry.

Reparations, in whatever form, will continue and accelerate. The reason: whites. The government will not physically remove money from whites. They will just continue destroying the middle class through inflation while giving bigger checks to the groid branch of the fambly tree. No money will be theatrically seized, just the same boiling of the frog.

Peaceful, voluntary separation can never happen because one group would starve if separated from the other. They’d be eating each other 6 months after the split and they know it.

Follow the money. From the perspective of the elites, reparations is an excuse to expand the money supply. Full stop. It’s like climate change on steroids.In a credit money system banking system the money supply must continually expand to keep the (fraudulent) credit system solvent. The timing of the ongoing crash in commercial real estate is no accident. Money supply growth dropped precipitously in late 2022 and went negative in 2023. With it comes credit contraction and deflation.The bankers in charge of our country don’t give two shites about reparations. In fact, many of (((them))) are scared to death that society at large, including blacks, will discover (((who))) was responsible for most of the slave trade to the Americas. Reparations is simply another ploy to generate credit money in an effort to keep the system solvent.

It all tracks. Covid is over and done. The fallout is still coming down – LeBoon James’ kid has suddenly developed vax issues now… The war in the ‘Kraine is drawing to its inevitable and predictable conclusion. Worst of all…Normie is no longer sleeping on the couch. Griller is not in a state of bliss burning steaks and drinking beer. They’re starting to ask the wrong questions. Some are forming the wrong opinions. Others are still Noticing things.Lefty needs a New Current Thing and fast! Reparations might be just the ticket. The question is…what is the nation’s status on nigger fatigue? There’s no nice way to say it. I can see this blowing up in their faces if they don’t play it properly…especially if Trump isn’t neutralized. It’s going to be interesting.

The managers brought the Africans here; Now the managers blame us; That’s right out of the managers playbook. The manager playbook is drenched in inherited sin, blame, guilt and punishment. I don’t mind if it would be exacted it upon them, they have earned it. I reject it from my people.But here’s the thing, we are just standing in a circle and allowing them to attack. Just reacting. We have been acting like Conservatives suffering abuse and bending over for more. Rep’rations are yet another attack in a long war. An attritional war that we are allowing ourselves to suffer, and to lose. Attrition by default. Enemy hold the cultural choke points, we are just milling about, pretending to win by losing.While far down in the priority stack, let’s dispatch Rep’rations to the ash heap. Right off, it’s meme warfare, and that means the enemy seeks to have the matter spread and to be normalized and legitimized by discussions. The Slave thing is passé, California is discussing it based on housing discrimination. All the figuring out why it wouldn’t work is just invitation for someone to step in and offer solutions. The answer is “No.” And the answer is “The manager’s brought you, they got all the money.” But Rep’rations is just another skirmish.To win the war, the managers need to be removed from their catbird seats. They need to be relentlessly exposed. Further, it is immoral not to expose the managers. Consider the war being fought in Ukraine: it just managers gone wild. A quarter million slaughtered, that is a big bunch of blood on American’s hands to sit by and allow that.

The only bright spot for me about white genocide is knowing, if it’s done, blacks will be slaves again.

I am looking forward to “Gavin Newsome lecturing Tim Scott on the importance of reparations“. This will be the only thing worth any time.

The blacks, like everyone else in the dying American Empire, are trying grab what they can before the system collapses entirely. America and the rest of the Western world is well into the bust out phase.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPtjyqgZAUk“…Paulie could do anything. Especially run up bills on the joint’s credit. And why not? Nobody’s gonna pay for it anyway. And as soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and you sell it for a hundred. It doesn’t matter. It’s all profit. And then finally, when there’s nothing left, when you can’t borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match.”

As Zman points out, the reparations claim goes two ways.https://youtu.be/emxh9M-E2dk

Just finished reading all the comments and I am surprised that everyone here seems to be talking about reparations in the monetary sense. While cash payout reparations are flashy and get the news headlines it is very unlikely to happen.Reparations of a non cash payout sort almost certainly will happen though. They will come in the form, not of cash payouts, but instead in things like free college tuition for blacks, blacks getting low interest loans, getting to the front of the line for college admissions, laws requiring 13.6% of all the top 20% salary earners in every company need to be black, etc etcIt won’t be just one thing, it will be a long list of things. And in the end a few blacks will benefit bigly, most blacks will do poorly as they have always done and white Americans will continue to get fucked over. There won’t be any economic collapse. There won’t be any civil war 2.0. Everything will just get worse as the empire continues its rapid decline.Future white generations will look back at the reparations as being just one more big mistake that made everything worse, similar to how we look at the Hart–Celler Act.

It is interesting where things are at now. In the 60s white Americans were made a second class citizens based on their race and it was called a colorblind system. We’ve born untold opportunity costs thanks to affirmative action in colleges, loan programs and contracting quotas. We’ve paid an estimated $22 trillion and counting to create the Great Society that only radically degraded, dispossessed and destroyed us. We granted the franchise and the aforementioned concessions and the thanks they gave was that all of our major cities were burned and looted. Worse still, they discredited, disavowed and destroyed the most important pillar of our civilization- our legal system.In this century, using criminal scum as martyrs and moral bludgeons they added to those gains. There are almost no images of white men and certainly not white men with white women anywhere to be found in any media-type’s ads and shows. We’ve been erased almost completely since 2012 or so. Our myths, stories and heros are vandalized, denigrated, destroyed and erased. We are officially the last in line for jobs, and openly told that they would prefer to not hire, promote, and train us at all; from the highest, most prestigious positions to the lowest positions. Go into any big corporate store, (FedEx, Apple, UPS, Microsoft … …), and you see almost no whites working there.That isn’t enough though. It is merely the first few sips for the parched it seems. Now we have a maw of rabid and deranged jackals howling for reparations. That will be the final, fatal blow to our legal system. Making people who never had a part in a historic wrong, and in almost all likelihood never even had an ancestor participate in that historic wrong, pay to right it is the most deeply immoral and darkened, vile thing. No society can bear that.The black pity party of Civil Rights era America destroyed our legal system in multiple ways, but it culminated in the Derek Chauvin trial, the Auhmed Arbury, and in the OJ Simpson trials. The premise and guarantee of innocent until proven guilty was utterly destroyed as was the right to self defense and an honorable and active citizenry protecting their own neighborhood in a voluntary act of duty and service. In the Simpson case, jury by trial of your peers was inverted and perverted not to arrive at a fair trial to increase the likelihood of justice, but to reduce the jury to a tribal/racial vote count to subject your people to the legal privilege of being unaccountable for heinous and vicious crimes.They have destroyed our legal system. They have destroyed our country.Even before reparations, the 2010 – 2023 phase of European American Dispossession has made me exhausted. I was once colorblind, even supportive of blacks and did what I could to support them finding their way. Then, I became, as a man and a white man, demonized and blamed for all the world’s ills. I became unwanted and openly and brazenly discriminated against. I and my young posterity are despised and told we must be eradicated to right the world. The demonic ghouls dance with glee when they celebrate our demographic ethnocide and relegation to unwanted and untouchable. Why? Because they are so savage they’ll martyr criminal scum to paint me and my folk as villains. It is beyond preposterous what has happened in America.I don’t see a single black person refuting this. I don’t see a single one saying, no I won’t take that opportunity. They take it eagerly, without the slightest bit of shame. The richest of them are organizing the elite support for reparations. They made it to the top and still want reparations. That is a massive betrayal. In fact, Oprah, openly wants all older whites to die, because they are all racists – she divines as a witch doctor from her bitter, swollen head.Pity is going to turn to rage. It is going to turn from pity in the crucible of the gravest betrayal and transmute into the most intense of hatreds. The bearers of that hatred will have zero shame, for them that nuclear hatred is justified. For it stands upon the truth hidden behind vile inversions through sophistry and lies. The carriers of that hate have been dealt a real injustice and betrayal. It will be a hatred that is noble and true for it is a righteous anger. The haters will awaken and realized they destroyed their country to raise up the pitiful to make wrongs they never committed right. They did it all to be nice and to demonstrate kindness and good faith that all might move forward in peace and harmony. But that pity was manipulated and the manipulators never had anything but the worst of intent. It was never done for healing and repair. It was done to enact revenge.Reparations or not, the fabric of this society has been torn beyond repair. There is no going back from even the pre-reparations era. As far as I am concerned, any person who does not feel rage and hatred is unnatural and unfit for this world. This is not a temporary rage ignited by being targeted and wronged in passing or by receipt of some petty slight. It is the rage that comes from being a good and honest person, who loves his family and his society and who played by the rules with fairness, nobility and neutrality, whose kindness, good faith and goodness has been utterly and totally betrayed.That is a different kind of rage. It is the kind that burns for eternity. It is the kind that is maintained and developed with consciousness and intentionality. It is the kind that is so cool that it makes no rash moves, never lashes out or melts down. It burns to forge a systematic and precise machine, bent on self preservation, self defense and forging its own destiny – to fly its house’s banners from shining citadels never again to live amongst tribes bent on its destruction.Reparations or not, the houses who have done this, will be marked for eternity. This is an injustice on such a massive scale that it cannot ever be repaired. The entire fabric of this society has been destroyed by entertaining and giving life to this idiotic and savage blood libel.

Great show, Z-man! The idea of reparations for Blacks — after all they’ve received from the White taxpayer already — makes me so angry I can hardly see straight. Your arguments will help me discuss this (idiotic) concept rationally. BTW what about Hispanics and Asians in California? Together they constitute the majority in that state and outside of PC posturing, neither group really likes Black people. Do they hate Whites enough to go along with this nonsense or will their own economic self-interest win out?

The main problem with reparations is there are far too many black people in America. Any payment that would satisfy the people pushing reparation is not feasible due to the large number of blacks in America.The 5 million number the lunatics in San Fransisco came up with is 200 trillion Dollars if it were nation wide. This is like 10 times US GDP, of which a large portion is fake. Even broken down across a human lifetime, this is just way more money than can be realistically paid. Even a million is too much. 500,000 is too much. One side of that arithmetic is 40 million. 40 million black people plus their ongoing progeny (because this will NOT be a 1 time thing to the existing, living black people).Any number we can actually afford to pay is too low and will insult black people. Yet, this number will be so large that it will enrage the people stuck with the bill. To add insult to injury, most people are not convinced that blacks should get any reparations.

Fools never know when to stop. If Blacks really go through with reparations, that really will be the end of White Guilt. They’d be fools to cut off their own gravy train, but then again fools never know when to stop. I hope it happens. One time reparations check and then the Blacks can fuck off with their victimhood BS.

What about us “whites” who have a small amount of “Nigerian” ancestry? No doubt such ancestry came from slaves. Can you imagine a group of “centavo-roons” (my word for those with 1% black ancestry) demanding reparations?

Divorce courts? Child support courts? Drug courts? Parole courts? Good golly, we are going to need a butt-load of Reparations courts!We need to build ten times as many law schools to staff them!

I agree with ProZNoV and Severian below in thinking that this issue needs to be squashed and squashed hard. We need a Supreme Court decision, an Act of Congress, and an Executive Order all to the effect of we are never going to talk about reparations again, case closed.This should have been done right from the very beginning. The very mooting of the subject is itself a revolutionary act; it is an attack upon the lives and property of the citizenry.The very purpose of a properly constituted government would be to repel such attacks by strangling them in the cradle. Any government which would so much as consider reparations is illegitimate and needs to be deposed. No, this is not hyperbole. It’s the plain truth.

Newsome has already signaled that he will oppose reparations. I assume this is his strategy for appearing reasonable to normie so he can be president. It’s a low bar to appear reasonable to normie in current year AINO. That doesn’t tell you anything about what he will do after he is president. Obama was once against gay marriage too.It is not hard at all to picture the fake money finally becoming worthless right about when open large scale reparations cash payments get on the table. And more than just being easy to picture, I have to say it looks like the most likely scenario.

Black population 48 million USA. Cost of flight to Liberia 1000 USD according to kyak. Total $48000,000,000. We don’t owe it. But it would be priceless.

UFO mania is a topic du jour in order to deflect attention away from Hunter Biden and the antics of the Biden Crime Family. Similarly, reparations is now in the news simply as a means of rallying black vote for the 2024 election cycle. Create an illusion of lottery ticket gibs for the blacks and they will reliably vote Dem because there is no perceived downside to rolling the dice. Ditto for the illusion of student loan debt forgiveness. Every collegiate debt slave is incentivized to vote Dem even if the only feasible outcome is minor debt reduction or postponement. Its all about getting to 50%+1. And a whole lotta dead people are gonna vote by mail if necessary in order to get there.

I’ve seen several media segments on the reparations stuff, and it’s noteworthy that the blacks they interview always make sure to add that the reparations would in no way close the book on race and that no amount of money can make them forgive whites.You can observe this pattern in day to day life. When you do something nice for a person, typically they feel obliged to reciprocate or at least thank you for your altruism. But there are a good portion of people who instead conclude that because you did something nice for them you must have owed it to them in the first place and furthermore owe it to them to continue. As soon as you stop giving them your time/effort they become angry and hate you more than if you had never done anything nice for them in the first place.The only way to deal with people like that is to get them out of your life.

I remember when electing BO as prez was going to make negroes whole…

Tie reparations to the Defense budget, i.e., every dollar that goes to the negro slush fund comes out of the pockets of the MIC, and I will support it fully.

White people who never owned slaves being forced to pay black people who never were slaves. Yeah.

As always, it’s a question of morality. Reparations is a terrible idea for our rulers because it quantifies and brings out into the open what they believe is the debt owed to blacks from whites.Bad call.They should always keep the concept of systemic or legacy racism murky. That way, they can milk it forever and in various different forms. Bringing it out into the open means that whites can put a number on it and feel like they can move on.Yes, yes, I know. We don’t anyone, anything. But stupid whites believe that we do and this wakes them up. Either you put a price tag on what we owe or you say that whites will never be able to pay that debt, in which case whites will start to realize that they will never be free of being call “racist” so why play the game.

It never ends. There will be no peaceful separation.Here in Canada natives get their own native only land reservations with self governance, tax free status, billions per year of government funding, affirmative action, and restorative justice. And they have gotten this deal for decades.The white guilt narrative only ramps up year over year. Schools are a constant white guilt indoctrination center over past “sins” against natives. Land acknowledgements are read before every corporate meeting. Historical statues are being torn down.It’s generally not the natives driving this madness, it’s the baizuo and the ruling class. The average native is pretty drunk and broke most of the time. But the native ruling class are happy to go along with it.If you give them money once, they will just demand more and more from you. The elites will never ever leave normal white people alone. If you have one round of reparations for blacks, there will be a second round, third round, etc.Australia is even worse, with the One Voice referendum.

The rigged lottery called reparations is a means to desired ends. Expect, for example, the urge to miscegenate to increase. There will be lots of morons (and not all of them European American, of course) who will be tempted to marry into families of the lottery winners.OTOH, the windfall will hit “Black Lives” like hot coals poured on their heads. Motivation to produce will be crushed. They will drop out of the labor force in droves, which will make more room for Latin Americans, Asians, and Indians. Most BL don’t have the intelligence and willingness to delay gratification to be successful entrpreneurs. So startup activity among them will often follow predictable trajectories. The BL also have scant interest in rigorous scholarship. They won’t be using their loot to educate their children in the liberal arts or to finance research institutes (other than for grievance studies). So their descendants 50 to 75 yrs from now, while very numerous, will be very degraded.There are, I’m sure, a great many go-getters who are salivating about selling stuff to the lottery winners. The “reparations” will be another capitalist hustle of American landfill economy. Likewise, daydreams about cap gains amd charitable contributions will enter into the calculations of Con, Inc., when writing The Conservative Case.How can all of this business be stopped without an armed rebellion? Someone do tell, please.

They’re getting plenty of reparations already.Over the course of an average 79-year lifespan, a white individual contributes a net $220,805 to the system while over the course of an average 75-year lifespan, a black individual receives a net $751,200.*Gibs aside, we’ve also “given” blacks a shocking number of cities built by our white ancestors. Now, these same cities are third-world hellholes and no-go zones for smart white people (aka “racists”).If anything, blacks owe us.*This data was derived from the 2014 federal budget and was featured on VD’s site a few years ago, but if anything, the numbers are probably more extreme now.

I’ve always thought (for decades now) that Conservative Inc., who have so far been claiming reparations are always going to be a non-starter will eventually capitulate (as they ALWAYS do) on the issue. Framing it as “well, we need to get past this, take it off the table, move on, eliminate it as an issue, yada yada yada…” They’ll come up with a figure, free money is always a motivation. I can just imagine Sean Hannity sheepishly telling his audience about his enlightenment (as he did with immigration reform), how great it would be to remove the “weaponization” of reparations away from the baddie Dems, now someone like Tim Scott can waltz into the White House, etc. LOL.

There are some ideas so destructive and so dangerous the only rational response is to give warning that if the topic is raised again, people will be going to jail (or worse).Reparations.Normalizing trans and encouraging it for kids.Normalizing pedos. Teaching sodomy to second graders with cartoons.Legalizing recreational drug use.Communism.Reparation discussions are catnip for the right wing chattering class though. Extremely lucrative for Benny S and his ilk to “destroy” college students with the 27 bullet point thesis of why the ghost of W. Buckley wouldn’t agree. “Buy my book, subscribe to my substack, watch my streaming platform if you want to know more.I understand why you recorded this Z, and I don’t disagree with any particular point. You are well aware that when terrible ideas like this are out in the open, rational arguments won’t do a g-d thing; it’s all 100% emotionally driven by that point and we’re just negotiating over a final price anyway.This is the one line in the sand that might make me retire to another country. Better to die as a second class citizen in a foreign land than live under the yoke of being a third class citizen in my own.

How much do I have to pay to get my bike back?

rep•a•ra•tion | ˌrepəˈrāSH(ə)n |nounThe making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged: the courts required a convicted offender to make financial reparation to his victim.• (reparations) the compensation for war damage paid by a defeated state: the Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations and restrictions on Germany. Well that about sums it up. Identify convicted offenders. Did’t Germany sort of react to those heavy reparations?

Great show, thanks. I’d love a show detailing appropriate consequences to the Sackler family for their crimes.The real question is the Who and Whom question. Who is actually owed reparations at this point?Back in the 80’s, my dad drove us around the city to show us the homes/areas where he was raised in the 1950’s. The neighborhoods had been safe and the homes and yards had been cared for back in those days. As we drove through the neighborhoods, we couldn’t help but notice the tremendous decline which had occurred. We also noticed that the new residents were thoroughly vibrant. We couldn’t understand how or why this destruction had taken place and asked our dad for an explanation. He simply responded by sharing with us the story of the scorpion and the fox. “It’s just my nature, it’s just what I do and who I am.”

Descendants of slave owners should demand reparations for the taking of the property of their ancestors by the government without compensation. Since some blacks owned slaves, the descendants of the black slave holders could double dip in the reparations game, since they undoubtedly also had ancestors that were slaves.

I’m investing heavily in the companies which own Newports, Hennessy, Jordans, grape soda and rims.

I suggest that ideas of justice and fairness apply only within a racial group that feels a sense of unity. Between racial groups there is only the law of the jungle. This is the credo by which the other races live. Ask the Arabs about their guilt over their far larger slave trade and far crueler treatment of slaves. The main reasons for whites to shun slavery is our unique compassion for the suffering of others and that enslaving another group causes entanglements with that group that ultimately harm us. Justice has nothing to do with it.

I am kinda rooting for some kind of outlandish reparations plan in the upcoming years. The way I see it using estimated back of the napkin numbers about 20% of whites get that we need drastic measures to save us starting fresh with a new system or heavily reformed system, we could possibly bring over another 30 to 40% of whites to our way of thinking, the remaining roughly 40% of whites are never going to come over and we need to divorce them along with the problematic blacks.The more pain whites feel in this disfunctional marriage at this point in time in history is a good thing for our long term survival.

“White people either pay the debt, so no more demands, or they see that the debt can never be paid, and it is time to move on.”There you go again Z-man—thinking logically and rationally on a clearly emotional problem. 😉The above conundrum has already been worked around. You see, it’s not about past wrongs. It’s about current wrongs that are being addressed by reparations. For years now, racism has been defined as endemic and structural to “Whites” and White “identity” and therefore can *not* be eliminated. It is the air the Whites breath and therefore—as with Original Sin—something we are all born with and can never rise above. So as long as Whites and Blacks exist, reparations must be made.Think of this as a “Harrison Bergeron” remedy for Black mediocrity in a modern 21st century, technological society.

Slavery in perpetuity— especially when one was born into it— was an abomination imo. Indenture, I can’t say I oppose. The debt has to be payable. Now we see the inversion— whites born into an unpayable debt. Nobody calls that slavery in perpetuity, because the jig would be up, but that’s what it is. Don’t get any ideas, whitey. Get to work!

If anyone in the Republican Party had any balls, they’d point to the hundreds of thousands of graves of the white soldiers at any National Cemetery, on hundreds of battlefields, and say to the reparations extortionists –“We don’t owe you a goddamn thing. That debt was paid in full, in blood, 158 years ago.”But the Vichy Republicans have no balls.

The most entertaining aspect of reparations will be the reaction of Asians and Hispanics. Neither group likes blacks and, unlike white women, they (or at least the men) won’t get off on virtue signaling about giving money to blacks. The only way to get most Asians and Hispanics on board will be either to give reparations to them too or only tax whites for the reparations.Asians might unenthusiastically go along if there isn’t a tax increase to pay for it. So, that will put a lot of pressure to just increase the debt. Only whites to the right of the divide care about debt anyway.But Asians are gaining a lot of clout. They are only in the US for the money so I can I envision a lot of push about upping the sob stories of their plight due to past immigration laws and systemic racism.

White people have no debt towards blacks.Blacks, OTOH, owe Whites so much, it’s impossible to repay. Only relocation to their ancestral continent could lead to debt forgiveness.

[…] ZMan’s weekly podcast. Highly recommended. […]

Nice choice to start the podcast with Nelson Mandela’s official funeral song: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cbs-plays-totos-africa-somber-664655/

‘’ It is one thing to send whitey off to a reeducation class every year. He is still being paid to attend the DIE training. It is quite another to take food off his kid’s plate.‘’ Nope, black folks will just deny any undo harm is happening to whites. Greed triumphs all. That said, people in general will take all the spoils offered to them taken for them by tyrants. The repercussions to their neighbors? Well, it’s not that bad. Rationalize, rationalize …

when i debate this issue with someone, I ask these five questions: Step 1 – how do you even ascertain who was enslaved and who wasn’t?Step 2 – some people had both slaveowner and slaves in there ancestry – how does that work?Step 3 – do people whose families never owned slaves have to pay?Step 4 – slavery ended over 150 years ago – couldn’t you say we need a statute of limitations?Step 5 – wasn’t affirmative action already a form of reparations?

Most people are now so dumb they will fall for this. They’re so dumb they don’t realize that trillions has already been spent on a certain group and the only results have been US city centers getting turned into Third World-tier wastelands and an ongoing, one-sided campaign of violence against Whites.

“Either way, it means unshackling white people from the guilt of racism. White people either pay the debt, so no more demands, or they see that the debt can never be paid, and it is time to move on.”Let me bang my head against the wall a few times — there, that feels better. Now where were we? Ah, yes, “white guilt?” The overwhelming majority of whites in the USA had nothing to do with slavery. These whites were the down-and-outs of Europe, coming to US shores usually just to avoid starvation. There were a few white slave-owners in the Deep South. Does the responsibility for their actions two centuries ago extend to all whites today?While we’re on the topic of slavery, what about Arabs, who’ve probably been involved in slavery far more extensively and for much longer? What about the complicity of blacks who traded in other blacks?This whole crazy notion of reparations makes no sense — it simply reflects a country off its rocker. And if there are reparations, it will be just be the opening chapter. Because nothing will ever “atone” for the original sin. There’s just no winning for white people here. This country is run by and for lunatics.

I, for one, support a big lump sum payment. Watching inflation soar to unimaginable heights while hood fills up luxury cars equipped garrish rims all to the sound of gunfire will be the tipping point. Hispanics, Asians and Whites will finally agree on something and *redacted*.
