As comments quickly pointed out, there is no evidence of this $250b number. The account that posted this deleted it presumably because it’s a lie.

The most recent similar proposed legislation was in May 2024 and was indeed supported by Ted Cruz. While not specified explicitly, my understanding is that the total value of this would be around $15b but it has not passed.
$3b did pass via the FY 2025 omnibus and a further ~$12b of value provided via executive orders with Trump and Marco Rubio.
I was thinking about deleting this post but I also want to own up to my mistake. I fell for bait while browsing memes, failing to critically think about the numbers involved. Thanks all who keep each other accountable I feel it’s an important lesson.
i feel like you skip every fourth word when reading my comments but i’m not too bothered because at least you are correct lol
Slaveholders’ crimes were downplayed and the history of the Confederacy rewritten to appear noble and unrelated to slavery. Some slaveholders were even compensated financially for the freeing of their slaves, while no freed people were compensated, ever.

i guess maybe you were meaning “that’s what we did” as advocating for slaveholder punishment where i interpreted it as actually doing it
either u are being sarcastic or u 180 degree misinterpreted my comment, we are saying the same thing? /confused
~~Not even true lol~~ (You were alive immediately after the civil war wow!) Yeah and sadly slave owners literally received reparations when there should have been Nurembergs.
I adovacte for their survival, recovery, repentance, and penance in proportion to the weight of their crimes.

edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)
genuinely is there an organization that does this (or similar)? i want to financially suport them or volunteer
