U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel
|
Quote:Is it the enslavement that warrants reparations or the disadvantages created because of it? I think the first step, is to begin to acknowledge that things like BLM have a legit gripe. That the entirety of the history of black folks and the sytemic authority structure for like 75-85% of the history of the USA has been one which has worked and continues to work in some cases to make outcomes for black people much more difficult than for others. Let's just start there... I think the feesablility of 40 Acres and a Mule is not possible. But let's begin with everyone just acknlowledging that black people still have it hard and it's based on hundreds of years of this thing called slavery. And just leave it at that. No need to go into a "yeah but..." with it. Just acknlowledge it and don't get all annoyed about it. I don't think that's too hard to do... And I think it's a good start. But what do I know? I'm not black. I'm just assuming that basic decensy and dignity would be something all men and women would like to have acknowledged. |
