THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATIONS FOR AMERICAN BLACK PEOPLE

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATIONS FOR AMERICAN BLACK PEOPLE – slavery and government restrictions to black development Commentators and pundits have saturated the American public with enough information of the subject for every literate or semiliterate American to know what it is and whether or not they approve or disapprove of it. I don’t expect this post to move you one way or the other. What I do intend is for you to consider a pundit’s point of view I witnessed just the other day. I should let you know that I have read a considerable amount of information on the subject, both pro and con. I have known for some time that there are black literate Americans who are against reparations – I’ll let them explain why because I’ve tried but still don’t understand their rationale. I think the case for reparations is engraved in black slavery and the government sanctioned laws and enforcement baring black American development. Grave harm has been and continues to be done to black Americans at the hand of our American government. The pundit Yvette Carnell of the video program Breaking Brown gave reparation a spin I hadn’t heard before. She said, I’m paraphrasing, that black people paid and is still paying the cost of slavery and the government restrictions to black development – slavery has a monetary and emotional cost as does government discrimination on the bases of race. American black folks have borne and are still bearing that costs all alone. WE’RE SORRY has no account at a bank. REPARATIONS! adolphusward.net
