Black Reparations: Part 1 (1969) | feat. Father Paul M. Washington

I enjoyed this video because it gave me a chance to hear Pastors discuss reparations to the so-called African-Americans. "Yes we are willing to share charity, crumbs but not our power" 35:23. So to them money is power that they cant share with us. This not a positive environment for the so-called African Americans.

This the church my mother and father funeral was at. I went there as a child.

[@ischar23]

Is there any way blacks can setup and distribute reparations ourselves or is that it not possible

[@marvinhagler4721]

Honestly a NATIONAL go fund me account can do that for us alone..and just put in what you can being that everyone is on a different economic level...Distribution would be very interesting for so many reasons

[@robertcarli1969]

@@marvinhagler4721 incredible videotape (not film) quality for '69 !

[@collinhenry9996]

It seem like in those days the African American Church leaders was more interest to lead a Black liberation then just to set down and ask Jesus to save us and preach about Jesus walk on water. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was best Christian leader who lead non-violent movement to try to fight against segregation and the war on Vietnam.

[@bryantlroeback3287]

33:21-35:26 This section in the video basically sums up why reparations has not and may never happen in this country for blacks and other races that has been been treated unjustly for 100's of years.
