- Plans for reparations are starting to emerge across the country after various measures have been under consideration for more than 150 years. However, what will these reparations plans look like, and how likely are people to accept them? Duke University economist and author of "From Here to Equality" William Darity joins Host Saraya Wintersmith to discuss the national debate and more.
Plus - Tammy Tai, deputy director of King Boston, and Jemadari Kamara, chair of Africana studies at UMass Boston and a co-author of the Boston proposal weigh in on the local efforts of reparations and what they could look like in Boston.

We do not need a debate. They have money for everyone else except us. Shut up and cut the check.
They just spent a tone on Ukraine
18 billion to Ukraine....
@@andheardstudios8089 okay, so, 18 billions is enough for you? or the right question is how much is enough for each of us? $10,000.00 or $100,000.00 or $1,000,000.00? Do we need a debate? Yes we do.
@@crubie3 the point is when they gave to Ukraine and Afghanistan there was no debate needed... USA.... like those decision u say we have to help here's the price tag..... Dangers of a debate is they know how to stall

None of this would even be an issue had the original reparations been paid.

I agree to disagree because native Americans were almost wiped out. To them we were worse then slaves
Absolutely! We the only people who government created Identity laws which cause an identity crisis! America is not going to admit it Stole Our Land and use paper Genocide by changing our birth certificate from Indian to Negro. Enough is enough because Black is not our ancestors and we didn’t come from Africa. Aboriginal Niiji💯
@@Tlahuiltezcatl no yal are not wiped out. Actually you were treated better because you weren't as durable to do slVe work so they left yal alone and continued to harass the black folk
@[UNKNOWN REDBONE] Sorry, but native peoples have the sane problem we have-you must fight for your rights. It's a damn shame.
There is a Federal bureau of Indian Affairs, which should be pushing for reparations for ALL nations, not just a few. They should be pushing for the takeover of reservations, they should be given to native peoples, governed by native peoples.
It SHOULD NOT BE UP FOR DISCUSSION AFTER 465 YEARS. JUST DO THE RIGHT THING 🔥🔥🔥
70 years
It’s most definitely time to pay us and give us our land back as well as our sovereignty
Stop begging for something your Satan Perverted, Pedophile, Racist Government and Old Dirty Demoncrat Bigot President don't care about, stop the Victimhood Ideology black face sellouts been pimping.. Watch the Demoncrats bring in 100, 000 White European Ukrainians to take your jobs.. Then go vote for Clinton, Biden, Indian Harris or Jewish Obama.. Again, because the Zionist Media told you the Businessman that gave cheap gas, big money for Black Colleges and the Lowest Unemployment for Black People in the History of America was "Racist"..

@@Justaguywithtruth my thing is republicans and democrats are on the same time same agenda and regardless of all that is either going be reparations or blood 🩸 not my views but I can see it will eventually happen
Why are non FBA/ADOS having input on what FBA/ADOS should get through u.s. government when FBA/ADOS couldn't stop or have input on what other groups get through u.s. government, so enough of this.

They're still living off the WEALTH.. yet they're shouting it's been so long ago... REPERATATION
These people are nuts
Facts. Tell everyone to give their inheritance away since the past doesn’t matter
Your very wrong. The state that had the most slaves Mississippi , Arkansas , Alabama , Louisiana are all the poorest states. Where is all this wealth you speak of?
@@trollgod7565 All the money that the slaves made has not gone away it’s still in the economy with interest. Held in the hands of Chase Bank and Wells Fargo that helped to create the derivatives market on slave labor, for example. Academics estimate the value of slave labor during the 250 years begins at dollars. When people leave an area they take their wealth with them. In addition, the federal government compensated the confederacy for the value of the slaves they lost. Look at data and metrics not at buildings in your neighborhood.
@@marilynmonheaux6356 I only inherited $450,000 from my parents, a drop in the bucket compared to what I earn and my investments. But I earned every penny! Frankly, my Federal tax rate is at 28%, how us that fair?
How did a promise made to my ancestors suddenly become "global?" I'm so tired of the injustices being done to my family making money for others. This gotta stop.
Exactly. Thank you.
Very, Very true ... this is a national issue, no one else is really entitled ....
And these z list non effective puppets of massa don't understand that.
I am tired of the phrase "people of color" too. Who are people of color anyway?
Caucasians have color too.
And these dusty idiots still use the people of color card.
Amen we shall overcome someday 🙏
They do that with indigenous fashion 🙄 Culture appropriation is a real problem
If you give people reparations I hope you don't plan on sharing it with other ethnicities like South Americans Asians and Indians and any more so-called minority group
Thats why the LGBTQ and other 'people of color' are trying to blend their struggles with ours
@@kingsaintides7227 Yes, because their cause is not the same.

IMO Latinos and Asians shouldn’t have any say in this situation. They don’t have a clue what kind of systemic injustices we faced and are facing today
Facts!!
@Isidro Paz I'm not a Democrat but I can help you out, pleighboy.
For starters, out of the ppl you listed only Oprah would qualify. Why? Because she's a descendant of an enslaved AMERICAN. She's identified as "Black" all her life and has documented proof of her ancestors enslavement. Rachel Dolezal is a WHITE woman who wears makeup to claim to be"Black ". The majority of her life, she identified as a white woman and CAN'T prove she's descended from an ensIaved American. Kamala's father came from the Caribbean. That's not America. She wouldn't qualify. Obama's father came from Kenya. He's not a descendant of an enslaved AMERICAN. He wouldn't qualify. The ppl that immigrated here post-slavery, during the Civil Rights era, would also NOT qualify. Some of them may be descended from an enslaved, but they weren't descended from an enslaved AMERICAN. I'd qualify because I have documented proof of my ancestry, but ppl like Van Jones, Joy Reid, and Candace Owens wouldn't. They're ppl immigrated from the Caribbean.
Simplified. If you have identified as Black for the past 10-20yrs, and have proof that your ancestors were enslaved by European colonizers HERE in the States, then you qualify for Reparations. Let's not forget the key concept of "Reparations". It's REPAIRING a wrong that was committed to a group of ppl. Every other group that's been wronged by this country has received their Reparations EXCEPT Foundational Black Americans. Whether it was the slave owners post-slavery, the Italian Americans in the 1890s, the Japanese in the 50s-60s, or the Native Americans in the 90s. There was no pushback from any of those groups receiving theirs. Even the excuse that's constantly lobbied against us about it being in the past, got contradicted when they gave Indigenous ppl their Reparations for atrocities that occurred hundreds of years prior. It's a debt that's OWED.
Sidenote:. Reparations doesn't JUST incorporate slavery. It includes the FEDERAL Jim Crow laws, segregation, and redlining. Our parents and grandparents are STILL alive and can attest to those times.
It's also quite interesting that you ask why should ppl who immigrated here post-slavery should pay for Reparations. For starters, if you come here you inherit the debt. Secondly, Black Americans paid for EVERYONE else's Reparations despite having no hand in wronging those groups. Lastly, you're thinking on an individual level. The Reparations debt is federal, just like the other's. The federal government should pay since it was said government that made the laws and the institutions. Take this pandemic for example. When there were talks of the stock market crashing, the Federal government pulled upwards of $5 trillion dollars out of thin air and infused it into the stock market. Look at this current war. They're sending BILLIONS in aide, yet won't give its own ppl that much needed support.
@Isidro Paz Who's being robbed, except the ppl who've been suffering for centuries!?
@Isidro Paz Ironic how YOU view America from a viewpoint of not experiencing or living through it's history. I've seen some good in America, but I've also seen and experienced for more bad throughout my 40+ yrs.
America HAS made strides, but it seems like the more things change the more things stay the same.
And miss me with "the world this, the world that". We're not talking about the WORLD, we're talking about the United States. If she truly wishes to be the beacon she convinced herself to be, she needs to right ALL of her wrongs.
You keep looking at the Reparations discussion on an individual level. It's federal.
Progressives, NOT Democrats, are trying to change this country for the better, albeit some of their decisions are just as backwards as the current systems. The Republicans, however, wish to keep everything the same thinking there's no issues. That's one of the main points of Conservatism, to "conserve" their way of thinking and lifestyle. Forget the fact that it only benefits a certain segment of society.
@Isidro Paz In what way is it discriminating against ANYONE!? It's a debt that's OWED and a wrong need righting. By your very notion, the wrongs that were committed against Foundational Black Americans should never be repaired.
Hate to break it to you, but you nor I have a say so on what, who, or where our tax dollars go to. Take the war in the middle east for example. In 20 years, that war cost us $8 trillion. That money is GONE. They could've given a quarter or even half of that to Foundational Black Americans, and it would've stimulated the economy, created jobs, etc. They always use the excuse of giving US our Reparations will bankrupt the country, despite not seeing an actual price tag, yet they're constantly throwing money at everything EXCEPT its own ppl.
Going back to your "discrimination" argument. How do you justify Black Americans paying for everyone else's Reparations knowing full well they had no hand in it!? In fact, we were STILL being discriminated against even when paying for their Reparations.
Why do you ppl constantly like misquoting MLK!? Dr King was a progressive who fought for the poor and disenfranchisement. He spoke of the wealthy paying their fair share in taxes, as well as everyone receiving a universal basic income and guaranteed healthcare. He even advocated for Reparations back then.
Cut The Check!!

@@devintaylor8702 nah. He wants us to send black dollars to help Ukrainian people even after they wouldn’t let melanated people on the trains. Mitch doesn’t speak for us either. Those who got rich from free labor of our people are still richer today. Everyone got reparations except us. When slavery was abolished, the federal government gave the former slave owners reparations to offset the lost of free labor!! They need to pay up…period. No one has been devastated like our people in this country. The scales need to be balanced out. Biden can so easily give the Ukraine a billion. He can so easily leave over $85 billion in weapons in Afghanistan. Yet when it comes to us, they have to talk about it. SMH. Yah will recompense this evil deed on the heads of those responsible nations. Every nation that ever did true Israel wrong was judged and decimated by God. He will right the wrong in this as well.

You are right, but this is not the case, we are 42 million, how much money we want: $100,000.00 each? That's $4,2 trillion, Is $100,000.00 enough for you? How much do you want? We need a reparations Congress Bill even for $4,2 trillion, A executive order issued by the president is not an option because it's a lot of money, Have the congressmen of both parties objections about paying us reparations? Yes a lot, the Republican party don't support reparations.
@@crubie3 I think there are a lot more of us then the numbers suggest. A lot of us probably don't fill out the census, a lot of us have mixed children. What about historically enslaved people that could pass for white? I don't know do they identify as white or mixed today? What about the ones who families fled to Mexico or other parts should they not receive reparations? When you really think about it does get complicated but that's because they let it go on far to long.

I 've noticed a pattern around the world with the Black Diaspora Reparations "question" How come everything is about commission, but with other people who have faced genocide, Reparations come quickly...We don't need any more commissions to write the check, and I don't mean money only...That's the start
exactly.only black americans get the run around.and they wonder why we kneel during their national anthem....
Because theirs never been a nation called “black”. We don’t understand the purpose of creating “status”. Why aren’t we talking about “decolonization”? Why are we talking civil rights when the issue is human rights? go to the UN, Not no damn United States. Until this happens we ain’t getting shit. If none of these so called leaders are saying this, well you’re being intentional pushed in the wrong direction. And look it up yourself…. ONLY a little over 300k were brought here. Most were taking to the islands and South America.
💯
When it comes to Black people receiving their reparation, the government always wants to do a study, put together a commission, and then do another study!! All this is just to weigh Black people down and hope that we will give up!!
The USA has handed out TRILLIONS to black Americans. When will it be enough???
Shouldn't be a debate..its a debt owed...wish they debated this long before they gave out $$ to everyone else.
Okay its a debt owed, but how much is enough for you or for me?
@@crubie3 Well, by the few examples showing up, Wachovia, George Mason University, etc., it's been a free college education. But that is far to little, especially considering Global Commerce has put US (an EU) job market up for sale to the lowest bidders: south of the borders and Asia. Now we can all have college educated un/under employed.
It also has a distortion effect: "... minorities disproportionately ..." Gauging how minorities are doing is distorted when/while importing poor minorities. And, doing damage to minorities here, via importing a labor glut. Something the politicians will _never_ acknowledge: importing of minorities is to douse the US/EU labor market wages.
@@crubie3 Reparations owed to descendants of enslaved Africans in America starts at $20 TRILLION. William Darity Jr.'s book 'From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the 21st Century' speaks in detail on this debt. Ukraine got 13 BILLION, Afghan refugees got 6.5 BILLION. Illegals get BILLIONS! Foreign countries get BILLIONS from the US, and no one questions it. Native Americans, Japanese Americans, and even white slave owners received reparations from the US government. Cut the check!
But who is responsible, and who is the victim? The slave owners are dead, the politicians who approved it are dead, the slaves are dead. If your grandfather shot someone the government can't send you to jail for what he did. The simple fact is reparations are never going to happen. 14 trillion dollars total (half the annual GDP of the US) and $850,000 to each family? Not going to happen, and if the government tried there would be a revolt. Stop deluding yourself. American can agree on things to do to help people in poverty, with education, healthcare, business loans, etc., but $14 trillion dollars to one racial group that is 13% of the US population is never going to happen.
@@brindanlasten7073 Why not? $14 to $20 TRILLION is fair market value for amount of wealth STOLEN from one specific group. The idea the U.S. government can commit atrocities and compensate other groups, while DENYING compensation to descendants of enslaved Africans is the height of hypocrisy and fuckery!
I don't want Sheila Jackson Lee involved. Unless she is in agreement that reparations are for FBAs only. This is not a claim for those in the diaspora, and Lee being of Jamaican descent, may try to crowbar every black person in this claim as she has dual allegiance.
I agree with u totally.. we must watch these people very closely so our reparations won't get sabotaged.
Even I must admit...it's concerning
I'm just gone sit this right here ....per my concerns.
Matthew 7:15 & Luke 13:6
Lineage based only for fbas who our descendants of slaves on the land..
Plans for reparations are starting and blacks MUST have to STAND firm on this stand. The world need to hear blacks NOW
It's Blasphemy to think reparations should go to non Ados/Fba. We absolutely reject this idea. This would fit real well into the white supremacist way of thinking, to weaken our share by dividing it up with others. Everything we fought for had to be shared with others
It sounds good but it's only a dream 😀
💥💯💥
But u have a $5.00 Indian sitting in Congress , that should be a reminder of reparations starring them slap in the face daily, it's a game ppl simply they do not want to cut ADOS that check👍

What share with others? They are not A.D.O.S . What did they contribute to slavery or our ancestors?America is doing what it does best...STEALING.

to who specifically ?
@@drwalka10 Suggested reading: Slavery By Another Name. If one author can trace excessive wealth originating from slavery, and others traced it to ancestors of individuals, alive now, then reparations certainly is doable. And along both threads, the entities who still exist (Wacovia Bank, George Mason University, etc.) along with the nation that benefited.
France owes Haiti $150M they were charged to buy themselves out of slavery, for instance. England owes Honduras, India, etc. incalculable sums for their offshored slavery. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Okay, so, how much is the weed tax revenue? Is that a federal tax or a state tax? There are states where weed still being illegal, so this is not an option.
Did y’all noticed when she asked how would we be able to determine who would be qualified, BOTH of them started dancing around the question? What they ARE attempting to do is include OTHER ppl in it! The guest even reiterated that the city is mixed, meaning that “others” should qualify as well. Foundational Black Americans, do not let these ppl trick you with all this word salad nonsense. Reparations NOW to the decedents of Blacks who’s ancestors built this country off of free labor and who has suffered greatly off of US policies!
There are REAL aboriginals are fighting against this now. Not all aboriginals/black people in America came from Africa. We are from EVERYWHERE. That includes America. That's why they're dancing around it. They on OUR land just letting everyone come in and rob us refusing to pay what they ALL owe. How other immigrants get to say anything about something that doesn't concern them. But they all gon pay. One way or another. It is written. And you don't okay with prophecy.

Because we control the money and are now sending it all to illegal migrants because they have drive and that's what America is all about
They are asking white people their opinion because white people invented slavery and kept it alive for thousands of years. Certainly no black man ever enslaved another black man.

Sure they are dead and gone...but at rest? I practically feel them
@@andheardstudios8089 "I practically feel them" Exactly, the one not "at rest" is you. And money changing hands isn't going to solve that. Reparations doesn't undead Emmit Til, nor erase his history.
Reparations solely addresses money issue: uncompensated labor, and possibly assist in lost opportunity. It's not going to change history.
@@buzoff4642 reparations may not change history. But its a start to healing. It is whats owed. And long overdue. We are the only group of people who are told that monetary atonement wont help. While literally every other group of people get tangible reparations....no questions asked. Theyre even talking about giving reparations ro LGBT groups for their struggles... Gave Reparations to Asians, Jews still get a monthly check for something that happened decades ago. Why is it when we start talking about monetary compensation for descendants of slaves. People from everywhere,, who benefit to this day from the work of my ancestors have something to say. I say its long overdue, cut the check, and thats would be a start to healing
It is written, You have to Recompense the people you did the damage to!!!!!!!
I am not black American but I agree you most definitely need reparations for what your ancestors built. Your country though is spending billions and billions in a war in Europe instead of negotiating for peace. I think they value war more than anything else now.
War is lucrative
Sheila Lee Is a Foreigner( Jamaican) and she should not be over this bill!!!
That part
Jamaicans first started to grumble, just like they did, as Nelson Mandella was doing the 28yrs. in Prison. Free Mandella and, Down with Apartheid, were songs in Jamaica, that never stop played, until Mandella was free.
The problem for me is how are non black Americans talking about black Americans business..
Depends on what they know about a) slavery and that the wealth from that still existing and b) the enslaving that continued, in morphed form, to this day.
They should just be silent if they ain't got nothn good 2 say
See they know that when (not if) the payments for repair of damages done are received, the whole face of the economic structure in this country will change and the whole structure of global trade will change. More competition on the global stage, this worries non Black Americans because the food chain will change and WE WON'T BE AT THE BOTTOM!
Everybody can talk but the Congress has the last decision, we need a reparations Congress Bill and we don't have enough support, we need a backup plan and a strong leadership, where are Al Sharpton, BLM and Jessie Jackson when we need them? (Sarcasm)
@@forsale313 The entire purpose of globalism, as instantiated, is labor arbitrage. Its purpose serves the billionaires. In the US, in China, in Saudi Arabia, in India, etc. etc. The "competition" you speak of, is race to the bottom, for the non billionaires.

This guy gave no answer
💯 no answer at all. Probably a sellout non-FBA trying to sabotage the effort in Boston. All Black ain't good Black.
Reparation is a United States debt so I don't care how long ago it was pay up
Say it again
As far as I'm concerned, ALL whom have acquired wealth from the Slave trade must be involved in the repayment of the debt owed. This means companies like Walmart that were founded from funds that came from that families generational wealth (if in any way is traced back to slavery) would have to pay. You have Companies such as Marlboro Cigarettes, I'm pretty sure the initial investors used funds generated from Slavery when you trace it back. So what we have here is situation where americas corporations will be liable for payment and now we have an issue with the stock market because companies like this must pay out, you see where i"m going with this? The same type of issue will be mirrored in the private sector. If ones family wealth was acquired from the Slave trade they will need to pay too. This means there are PLENTY of resources for repayment since there are PLENTY of private and public entities that gained wealth from the Slave trade. THEY ALL NEED TO PAY!
why is it a US debt? They didn't own slaves. In fact, they hated it so much they sent hundreds of thousands of young men to their death to end it.
Right on FAM, The WORK HAS BEEN DONE, A DEBT IS NOW OWED.
TIME IS AT HAND,

I would love to see you interview Professor Black Truth (you can find him here on CZcams) about the reparations debate. That would be much more interesting.
CIVIL LAW. The “Roman Law” and the “ Civil Law” are convertible phrases, meaning the same system of jurisprudence; it is now frequently denominated the “Roman Civil Law.”
And a lot of people still dont understand
If we have people with answers like @ 22:19 in this “committee ” , we will never get reparations. Lord have mercy he was here, there and everywhere.
It might seem that way, if you're not versed in the topic. I presume you learned of slavery in school. Slavery By Another Name takes up history through the Jim Crow era, and then The New Jim Crow picks up history from Civil Rights passing to now.
@@buzoff4642 why make a global pitch when we can't get reparations moving locally ? ... If he can't drive without taking detours, then give the wheel to someone else. That's all
There's a lot of people who don't want reparations so they will do everything in they're power to derail it by spreading false information and trying to making it more convoluted. They are intentionally muddy the waters but we are on our square and not budging!

Debate not needed. Cut the check, facts are FACTS !
150 years is not that long ago. My great grandmother is 95. Think about that. Jim Crow lasted 100 years. Members of my existing family have lived through this. We are owed and we should be paid reparations to compensate for the huge wealth gap that exists due to these racist institutions. Racism still exists. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was not final. It has been amended and ratified five times since then. We are still facing micro and macro aggressions daily. There is an easy way to decide this. (And this is a point I’ve heard discussed among black people for years). Every native black family and every foreign black person who immigrated prior to the Civil Rights Movement would be eligible for reparations.
Plans for reparations are starting and blacks MUST have to STAND firm on this stand. The world need to hear blacks NOW
So your 95 year old granny was somehow around 150 years ago ? YOU GOTTA STOP DRINKING KOOLAID ! YOU AINT NO SLAVE, AND SINCE LESS THAN 1 % OF THE ENTIRE AMERICAN POPULATION WERE EVER SLAVE OWNERS, DO YOU EXPECT THE OTHER 99% OF ORDINARY FOLKS WHO MAYBE DUG DITCHES, WORKED IN HARDWARE STORES, OR MINED, OR DROVE TRUCKS, TO PAY SOME SORT OF MADE UP REPERATION TO YOUR USELESS NAME ? GET A LIFE, YOU REALLY ARE LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE. STOP ABUSING PEOPLE AND CLAIMING SOMETHING YOU DONT DESERVE.
My family immigrated to the United States after Jim Crow. We would not be eligible for reparations for slavery and I am fine with that. I believe I can say most Africans would be just fine with that. We advocate for you especially those of us that are 1st born generation because we experience the same institutionalized racism you do and we see the effects, the physiological effects it has on your minds. You created a whole name for yourself and many of the black men date and have children outside of their race and degrade black women. But understand that if they do this by your will that it will not get any better. In fact they may even do the usual trickery they do to find a way to steal it again.
No
@@RonkeStation Your last statement rings so true, especially in light of the fact that the state of California has promised reparations if people can prove that they are descendants of slaves. This government knows fully well that most of us cannot trace our ancestry past our great grandparents, and that’s if we’re lucky. It’s trickery. Spit in our faces.
Making Juneteenth a holiday was another spit in our faces and most Black people either can’t, or refuse, to see the trickery. Juneteenth represents June 19, 1865, two years after the emancipation proclamation, when enslaved Texans finally learned they were free. That’s the day that Black people always observed very solemnly. Now it’s a “holiday,” a day on which ALL Americans get off work. What a gigantic spit in our eye. I bet they laugh every time they take off for Juneteenth or Martin Luther King’s birthday. America knows no shame or remorse for its rotten history!
Edit: Thank you for standing with us! ✊🏾

Listening in at the 24 minute mark. Capitalism may have affected the globe but what court and what law will enforce that on the world stage?
Repairations in the United States of America is not divisive but meant to rectify specific harms made to a specific people.
I completely disagree with the two panelists. They conflating the issue with other issues.
Smaller victories are needed to set precedentand to act as milestones to achieve the larger victory.
Exactly. I am leery of anyone speaking this "rethinking" talk. And what community was he talking about? It kind of sounds like an "all lives matter" solution. The issue at hand involves the descendants of American slaves period. This isn't a hard concept.
@@nicolemccoy3436 Agreed. This is an issue of Jurisdiction rather than emotion. The government of the United States harmed and allowed harm to come to decendants of American slaves. We do not have Standing in any other people group or against any other entity. They can't be that ignorant so they may be acting as a foil to the reparations discourse meant to hinder our ability to galvanize behind this singular issue. Thereby limiting our efficacy. Keeping us bogged down in rhetoric rather than action.

Do the private and public sector give a care about giving back what they owe. Since when do the victims worry about the effects or justice on the perpetrators. No other group does that why should we.

They didn't care when they were raking in the money! And they don't care now because if they did they would make an effort to "break bread". They know their financial foundation was built on generational wealth gained from the Slave trade!

Descendents of slaves should be the the only ones to get anything I think land money.. Everyone is talking like Reputations is going to unite black folks... then you got a huge group of people saying blacks are Indians and no slaves came here.. I'm confused..
"People saying blacks are Indians and no slaves came here"
This statement is irrelevant as regards of if they were apart of a native tribe or shipped like cargo they where still kept in slavery
@@brigonion10 so your saying blacks and indians brown or black should get part of the reputations???makes no sence if it was like that everyone would get a dollar or less
@@brigonion10 the black Indians are saying the slave trade never happened so if there was no slaves why would thr be slave reputations its not a irrelevant comment
@@grassrootsndns no, the black Indians claim that that the slave trade didn't happen or at least the majority of slaves did not come from Africa but instead where from dark skin native tribes, there where still slaves just debating where did the slaves come from. And we wouldn't include the other native people as they where are not and where not considered black. Part of black indigenous understanding is that slaves where call black as a vague catch all to mix Africans and dark skin natives in one group so when speaking as to who should be included into reparations we don't need to consider including or how to separate the none black Indians from the black Indian as that was done long ago and those descendants still identify as black not native American today.
@@brigonion10 I do think reputations are appropriate but should only go to the rite people which would be descendents of slaves....
The wages of the workers that you haven't paid are crying out to God.
My family has a deep history in owning slaves. We even have an inventory list of the people they owned. I have a wip that hangs on the wall in my home office with a golden placard stating this was the first wip our family owned. I donate lots of money to planed parenthood with the explicit instructions that this ONLY go toward sponsoring abortions in communities that are at lest 75 percent black. I will move off shore before cutting a reparations check though. I have already investigated moving to Mexico or Brazil. We even have property purchased in both countries so we will be ready to go should the time come.

Who would reparations go to? That's easy, if your family is a descendent of slavery in the United States you are eligible. Not because you called yourself black for certain amount of years. Jamaicans, Africans or whoever else can look towards Europe. This is strictly an American (Black American) issue.
It’s called inheritance!
The same way that you have families still living off of and have been able to build upon and receive interest from the earnings from slavery by their ancestors from a 150 years ago, is the same way the descendants of slaves should receive their inheritance!
