THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION REALITY

THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATION REALITY – will the debt be paid? The creators of ADOS, Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore, gave focus and direction to reparation becoming a reality. For years the crime of slavery has been in the minds of most mature human beings. For years most mature people have thought about some punishment for the perpetrators of institutionalized slavery. For years reparation has been thought of as a just penalty for the injustice of institutionalized slavery. For most of these years no specific person of group of persons could be identified as the sole perpetrator of institutional slavery. For most of these years no specific person or group of persons could be identified as victims of institutional slavery. For years black leaders have labored to find a clear and legal definition for perpetrator and victim of institutional slavery. Through pure unrelenting genius Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore have discovered a definition for perpetrator and victim which fits historical and legal frames. With their definition who benefited from institutional slavery, who were the victims, and who is to be paid, is easily identified. Their definition excludes no descendant of African slaves from justice through reparations. All descendants are justified in their claim for reparation. Since there are many descendant groups there is not one perpetrator. Since there are many perpetrators each group must find justice through reparation from those who directly benefited from their slave ancestor labor. American Descendants of Slavery–ADOS–identifies a specific group of slave descendants. America built itself on the labor of slave ancestors and its continued denial of full citizenship for slave descendants. It is often said that most white people object to reparations. I remind you that many white people objected to anti-lynching laws–white men and their families enjoyed the spectacle of good lynching regularly. Baseball is now a more enjoyable sport for the family to enjoy. amazon.com/dp/0983947724.
