We the people of the United States, in our exceptionalism, cannot hide from our responsibility. That’s not what we do. Accordingly, we propose we demonstrate our exceptionalism by doing the following:

Help Pay Debt:

Pending Congressional action, please help the United States pay the United States uncompensated slave labor debt shown on the Debt Clock on the Homepage.

ALL PAYMENTS ARE TO THE UNITED STATES REPARATIONS, (“ORGANIZATION”) A 501-C-3, TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. ALL PAYMENTS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. IN 1865, THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BEGAN COMPENSATING FORMERLY ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS WITH 40 ACRES AND A MULE. THE GOVERNMENT STOPPED PAYING THIS DEBT WHEN HOSTILE POLITICIANS TOOK OVER GOVERNMENT AFTER THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN. COMPENSATION HAS NOT RESUMED EVER SINCE. THE PAYMENT UNDER THIS PLATFORM INVOLVES PEOPLE HELPING THE GOVERNMENT PAY THE DEBT IT ACCEPTED TO PAY IN 1865. ALL PAYMENTS, AFTER EXCLUDING PROCESSING FEE MENTIONED BELOW, WILL BE TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE ORGANIZATION WILL BE OPERATED BY AFRICAN AMERICANS, WHO ARE THE LEGITIMATE OWNERS OF THE COMPENSATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR INHERITANCES HAD COMPENSATION NOT BEEN STOPPED. THE GOAL HERE IS TO ASSIST THE GOVERNMENT PAY ITS DEBT. OUR GOAL IS NOT TO DICTATE TO AFRICAN AMERICANS ABOUT HOW THEY PLAN TO SPEND THEIR INHERITANCES. IT IS UN-AMERICAN TO POLICE HOW HEIRS SPEND THEIR INHERITANCES. DONORS BENEFIT BY HAVING THEIR DONATIONS BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. DONORS ALSO BENEFIT AS EXPLAINED BELOW THROUGH THE RECEIPT OF “40 ACRES AND A MULE CERTIFICATE” WHICH IN THEMSELVES COULD HAVE VALUE EXCEEDING THE AMOUNT DONATED.

The operator of this platform, 40 Acres & 1 Mule LLC, charges 2% in platform fee. However, our Third-Party provider of payment processing solution charges industry-standard payment processing fee of 1.9% to 3% per donation.

If a donor pays the Organization for example, $100, the Organization will receive a net of $95.00 to $96.10.
