"We" are those who are descendants of the enslaved Americans with a 401 year history, a unique group with a unique culture and history. It is a debt that is owed not a charity. Not all who are Black fall into this category. There will be no checks. I do not support that at all because the depth of the crisis of our people warrants more than a "check". As a reparations activist, I envision a "protective status" for our people, the right to self determination, land, an Afrocentered Healthcare system, education system, industries to employ our people, our own justice system, etc. something similar to what the so called "Indians" have, but much different. There are groups who are going through the government (HR40), another group is going through the United Nations Decolonization Program, others still want separation from the Europeans. Many folks are trying to find a way to come from under the control of the descendants of the colonizers. Many things are in the process.
As always, an excellent awesome and inspiring. A beautiful ending.Congrats to all of you and thank you for all that you do!!!
