A Better Deal for Black America You can view my reparations plan in full detail here and its accompanying formula here. America has paid and continues to pay reparations every single day. They paid to Japanese Americans forced into concentration camps, they just paid it to residents of Guam who were taken as prisoners of war during World War II, they paid it to the victims of the Iranian Hostage Raid, and they even paid it to American enslavers but not to the Black Americans they enslaved! They are paying it now to Native American tribes, to people exposed to radiation, and even mostly to Jews who survived the Holocaust. In many of these cases, the people who went through the actual wrong had already died, and in that case, the reparations went to their surviving spouse, or their direct descendants. No group has been through more government sanctioned injustice than American Freedmen, Black Americans Who Are Descendants Of Americans Slaves, from nearly 250 years of brutal chattel slavery to over 100 years of government sanctioned discrimination, land theft, lynch mobs, exclusion from federal programs, destruction of Black Wall Streets, Jim Crow, and redlining that resulted in the loss of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives! We cannot say “justice for all” and yet somehow justify this nation doing reparations for other groups; spending trillions of dollars on unnecessary, stupid wars; caring for illegal immigrants; aid to foreign nations, many that actually hate America, bailing out big banks and corporations; and yet tell Black Americans we do not deserve reparation. Not doing reparations hurts ALL Americans, according to one study, since the year 2000 alone, anti-black racism has caused the United States SIXTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS! It goes without saying then, just as US Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina stated, a thriving Black America is a thriving America, hence, the motto of my campaign, “Repair Black America To SAVE America”. Black Americans vote nearly 90% for the Democrats and yet, in the past 60 years of doing so, we have seen our home ownership drop, our land ownership nearly disappear, our wealth is going backwards, and we have aborted nearly 20 million beautiful black babies. This must stop! We can make EXCUSES for these past leaders or we can make a CHANGE and choose BETTER LEADERS! My “Better Deal For Black America” will give us local control over our own resources as is done for many Native American tribes, protect us from big government which has historically hurt us more than it has helped us, pay us what we are owed, and see us get the generational wealth we have long been due. This country CAN afford it, it will not come from your tax dollars, it will help everyone, it is owed, and it is OVERDUE! This package will include:
Better Transportation The 6th Congressional District of South Carolina is 97% rural, only 3% urban, and to that end, over 90% of individuals here, including myself, commute to work every day. For many people in SC District Six, myself included, public transportation is nowhere near where we live, completely inaccessible, and hence, our vehicles are an absolute necessity. Without them, we can quickly lose our jobs, lose our homes, everything, and yet many struggle to have and maintain adequate transportation. It is even worse for Black Americans, Black Americans are the most likely to not have a vehicle. From my own experience, I have seen how something as seemingly mundane as a flat tire can send someone into economic ruin. My plan will:
Better Education South Carolina is home to the “Corridor of Shame,” a disappointingly long list of schools along I-95, that are in deeply impoverished counties that have long experienced neglect and academic failure. I attended one of such schools from kindergarten to 12th grade and have taught at them for nearly two decades in my native Jasper County. I used to scoff at the label “Corridor of Shame” but now, I embrace it because the “shame” is not for the individuals that live in those counties, but for the politicians that have done absolutely nothing to lift them out of deep poverty. Schools cannot be “The Great Equalizer” if they are inherently unequal and financed in a way that perpetuates inequality, do not have a sufficient amount of quality teachers, if the teachers are unsupported and mistreated, if the citizens of the communities and in the schools that serve those communities are not having their needs met. My plan addresses all of this. It will:
A Better Plan for Thriving Communities Government programs have their place. I believe there is a need for government programs but a government program that is effective should LESSEN the need for government, not increase it. I want to build self-sustaining, safe, thriving communities. We do that by tackling the causes of crime and if you want to fight crime, you have to fight poverty. None of us are safe until we are all safe. That includes unborn children. They will be protected too. We can protect our 2nd Amendement rights and keep guns from going in the hands of dangerous individuals. South Carolina District Six is THE SIXTH POOREST DISTRICT out of 435 Congressional total districts in the United States of America. James Clyburn has had 30 years to get it right and he has failed. Conditions like this lead to people living lives of extreme stress and uncertainty, and struggling to provide for themselves and their families. My plan will:

Gregg Marcel Dixon completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2021. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Dixon's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|- The only way to truly fix America is to repair Black America which is something that is over 400 years overdue. America can never truly be great if America is not truly whole and America will not ever truly be whole until it has truly repaired all the damage it has inflicted upon Black America. My Better Deal For Black America Plan will address all these harms via direct monetary payments, land grants, business grants, a protected class designation, the return of the Freedmen's Bureau to address the needs of Black Americans, and more
- If we want to fight crime then we must fight poverty and poverty is more than just a lack of money but it is a lack of access to resources, every American should have easy access to quality healthcare for their physical and mental needs, equitably funded schools, safe communities, a liveable wage, adequate food, decent housing, trustworthy childcare, and high levels of community investment. Citizens that have access to resources for their physical, mental, social, and emotional needs lead to happy families that lead to happier and SAFER communities, this is a right of every American citizen.
- America is a large country with large counties, cities, and towns but many Americans are literally trapped in their small corners of the world, many struggle to commute a few miles from their home to get to work or school let alone a neighboring state. A car can no longer be considered a luxury, it is a need for many families, especially rural families, a necessity. Too often when the issue of transportation is discussed people think of public transportation modes such as subways and buses but cars are used by most Americans for transportation and many Americans struggle to buy and maintain one. I have a plan where qualified Americans will be able to receive immediate assistance for purchasing, maintaining, and paying for a car.
Outside of that, I feel extremely passionate about the fact that it is morally wrong, evil, and near unforgivable for America to constantly declare that we are the richest, greatest, and most powerful country in the world while we have millions of people that live in poverty, suffer from a lack of food, die early due to preventable health challenges for which they lacked the means to obtain proper care, attend poorly funded and supported schools, live in areas plagued by extreme gun violence, and there is extreme inequality with the wealthiest neighborhoods being just minutes from the poorest. I am unapologetically an advocate for America to provide wider and stronger safety nets to take care of our citizens instead of spending billions of dollars on citizens in other countries and resources on people that are not citizens of the US.
