THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION NOW

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION NOW – ADOS LEADS The notion of reparation is almost as old as government regulated injustice here in the United States. Slavery and the laws and policies governing the behavior of former slaves have kept reparation in conversations about race; but until recent those conversations have been little more than a moral discussion—an appeal to the goodness of those able to do more than talk about it. Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore gave reparation a political life with a political identity and purpose. The specific identity of this group of black citizens is the American Descendants of Slavery–ADOS. The purpose of this group is to seek justifiable redress through the courts for grave harm done to slaves and their descendants. This is to be an economic—money—claim, not just an official apology. One would expect there to be few black objections to such a claim but that is not the case. There are blacks who object to the claim and its source on personal grounds. I think reparation is a justifiable claim and deserves the support of all descendants of slaves and all reasonable thinking citizens.
