If any of you could wave a magic wand and fix this problem tomorrow, how would you address this in steps? Reparations are definitely needed/warranted, but then what? Just dump it right back into this economy that continues to only see us as consumers?

At the end of the day, it'd be up to whether or not you did a good job in raising and rearing your family. Just like when fathers hand down business, will their sons or kids know how to run it. Make sure the heirs or heiresses have smarts and common sense.
When we get reparations, there will be no more excuses. Either you fumble the inheritance, or use it for generation after generation. That's how I see it.
Like I said before, we need a social democrat backbone in America too.
If that is in place, simple answer, invest is capital assets. Buy land, rental properties, farms, and open businesses (and use these businesses as a firewall against the remaining institutionalized racism in the system). While I know some of my brahs disagree with me on the topic of integration, and my ideas of what should be socialized public good, I do believe that if black people got serious reparations that they need to create a feedback loop where black consumer can spend money in black business as easy as possible. That any black person, with little to no effort, will be spending their money in black owned supermarkets, restaurants, dry cleaners, banks, etc.
Regarding bigger businesses, where it is probably impractical to overthrow or replace them (I don't think we necessary need a black owned airline, or a national mobile provider), we can buy shares in a few select ones.
Put more simply, black people would need to become more pro labor, more pro small business, and pro gaining economics resources. Use the reparations to gain other identities in economy besides consumer.
That way you can pass down the wealth from generation to generation.
Trying to build another marcoeconomy above the existing one is a fool's errand.
Meth has had to check him numerous times for his, "It was so long ago, if immigrants can make it, so should you" talk.

Sorry, but nah. That will just make black people as morally bankrupt as the white supremacist that oppress us now.
I'm interest in justice and equality, not revenge.
hennessy easy to say "an eye for an eye is not the answer" or we all gotta co exist when you are white...certain feelings and things you wont ever know or understand no matter what
Educate yourself on the history of black owned institutitons and how anything successful gets DESTROYED by the leadership of this country...they dont talk about or teach it so you wouldn't know, if you really wanna have a discussion get some REAL background on this topic 1st...you talking olympics and a whole bunch of other bs, only word that meant anything in your post was education
hand2handking riles ppl up cuz he can get extreme, but he brings up alotta stuff that ppl dont want to talk bout or face the ugliness dealing with race in this country from the past and present ...it aint all sweet out here, not as simple as everybody coming together in harmony like you and others say ...N I havent really advocated for separation in here, was just pointing out how it looks for a white dude dismissing having our own **** and talking bout its gonna lead to people being "broke and lonely"
@Hennessy i have no intention of replying to you past this one point
you betray yourself and your true intentions with your personal shots against me
also the fact that you feel so entitled that i must write an in-depth "explanation" just for you special snowflake
i dont know what "separatist" rhetoric you are talking about either
If there is a payout, ya think NH would want a piece of the pie?
Finally I do support black business and much as I can, and I volunteer and mentor. However their are no black own banks around me as far as I know, also, I think the black own bank thing is kinda propped up too much. While it is good, I think it is more symbolic than practical. I have other ideas about banking, outside this discussion.
