A Muslim leader has ignited a heated discussion after suggesting that Black Americans should be the ones getting paid for their U.S. citizenship—rather than wealthy migrants buying their way in. The statement comes amid reports that high-net-worth individuals from around the world are securing American residency through investment programs, while many Black Americans continue to struggle with economic inequality and systemic barriers.
According to the leader, if Trump and the U.S. government are willing to accept millions from rich foreigners for citizenship, then Black Americans—whose ancestors built the country through generations of labor and sacrifice—should be offered the same deal. “If America is selling citizenship, then Black Americans should be first in line to get paid,” he argued.
The controversial take has sparked intense reactions, with some agreeing that Black Americans deserve reparations in the form of financial compensation, while others believe selling citizenship undermines national integrity. What do you think about this bold proposal? Should Black Americans be compensated for their citizenship?
