Run the Check: The Documented Federal Debt to Foundational Black Americans

Run the Check: The Documented Federal Debt to Foundational Black Americans is not a history book—it is a forensic ledger. From the Colfax Massacre of 1873 to the George Floyd settlement diversion of 2025, this work compiles every receipt of federal complicity in the theft, destruction, and suppression of Black wealth, life, and freedom. Each chapter documents a distinct category of harm—BURNED, DROWNED, SILENCED, POISONED—and calculates the conservative economic cost. The total: $50–60 trillion owed to Foundational Black Americans. This is not speculation. Every figure is anchored in government records, court cases, congressional testimony, and declassified files. The narrative moves with precision: massacres and sundown towns, drowned communities erased beneath reservoirs, medical experiments sanctioned by federal agencies, narcotics pipelines protected by the CIA, sentencing apartheid written into law, and the betrayal of the George Floyd moment. The book closes with a clear methodology, funding mechanisms already available, and a lineage cut-off that defines reparations as exclusive to descendants of U.S. chattel slavery and Jim Crow. It is both a historical indictment and a policy blueprint. Run the Check is a demand, not a request. It is the definitive record of federal crimes against Foundational Black Americans—and the bill that must now be paid.
