If reparations become a thing, what would be the best stocks to invest in? -

Nothing. If reparations become a thing, all that cash would be spent within the week and any gains would be short term at best if any.

Could probably make a couple bucks reselling Nikes though. And if you're looking for new consumer electronics you could get some awesome deals once time to pay rent rolls around.
So maybe I should short the stocks after reparations go through?

US M0 is about 5.8tn USD as of last month... the latest proposal is $1M for every African-American, so ~(47.8 million people * $1M each) = an extra 47.8tn USD going directly into circulation within the week (not financial instruments or savings, but really being used to buy and sell goods!), increasing circulating dollars 10-fold. Surely some of this will be soaked up into savings accounts, but in the medium run I have doubts that the US economy can absorb a sudden tenfold increase in money supply.

In that case, I don't think it would matter what you invested in, as long as it was outside the USA

What I got from this is that I should buy more weapons, gold, and Bitcoin.

It seems more likely that instead of flat cash payments the federal government will offer tax breaks (that black people don't pay anyway.)

I'm already on a path to leave the country, so I guess it doesn't matter anyway, but since I own my own business the amount of taxes I pay is astronomical (and I still don't make that much). If they were to push this through, I'd be gone tomorrow. Fuck fallback or safety nets. I could not afford to live here and take additional punishment for shit I had nothing to do with at all.

I'd create a new line of "Fuck Whitey" diamond-encrusted Henny-infused 24 karat gold-fiber t-shirts that would retail for whatever the amount of reparations payments is. I would sell millions of them, and in the space of a week or so the negro would return to his natural state of poverty and I'd be the world's richest white man.

Great thread, OP.

If you are into real estate, then you're fucking golden when reparations hit. I think the average reparations recipient already dumps money into the "obvious" businesses (nike, kfc, etc, etc) they're just doing it with the states money instead of their own. This trend will continue, I predict zero change in the related stocks. Buying a house is going to be the big thing, everyone is going to be signaling how "Rehspawnsibul" they are by buying a shitty house. If we see more chatter about reparations, and its looking like its actually going to happen, I'm buying AMT and SPG.
