Black Privilege

According to data derived from the 2014 federal budget, the average annual per capita "net contribution" (taxes paid minus benefits received) breaks down by race as follows:

White: +$2,795 (on average pays more in taxes than receives in benefits)

Black: -$10,016 (on average receives more in benefits than pays in taxes)

Over the course of an average 79-year lifespan, a white individual would then average a net contribution of $220,805, whereas over the course of an average 75-year lifespan, a black individual receives a net benefit of  $751,200.

One can quibble about the precision of the data, but the magnitude is so lopsided, you can’t really dispute the conclusion:  The government acts in ways that results in transfers of large amounts of wealth from white people to black people.

It would appear that reparations are already in place.

[In fairness, what is really going on is that the government is transferring large amounts of wealth from those who earn it to those who don’t. Blacks simply constitute a disproportionate share of the latter group. However, turnabout being fair play, this methodology (disparate impact) is the same used by those who claim that racism is the cause of all sorts of unequal outcomes.]
