[@xanderdumas1682]

there is a lot of scams within that community. We keep talking about them and reparations, but it is more about schemeing the system and getting away with it. Many in that community say they are poor, but have loads of cash. We need to stop looking at others and fix what's broken within our diaspora. Asians are doing better than us. Why is that? Becasue they come into our neighborhooods. Open shop and bank. Those nail salons and weave shops are not owned by Black folk. And if they were, the black owners would be discriminating against a lot of folks. I am 48 years old and single and been around studying people. I have gone through my Neo Soul moment and WOW... they inner racism is real.

[@2neetoon]

I laugh when I hear them folks say, "Hate has no home." No study was needed to pay reparations to slave owners so why is one needed for the slaves' decedents. Believe me, if you got a shirt on your back, you got more than they want you to have.

[@BlackAnarchist1992]

The fight for reparations is a revolutionary one that requires us to dismantle the same hierarchical power structures that perpetuate anti-blackness and legitimize settler-colonial authority by using tactics such as the red-blue game. Those hierarchical power structures need to be replaced with horizontal power structures where the power is in the hands of the people (think community control of the black community by the black community). Here are a few reading recommendations: Collective Courage A History of African American Economic Thought and Practice by Jessica Gordon Nembhard, The Deficit Myth Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People’s Economy by Economist Stephanie Kelton, “Capitalism and Racism” by Black Autonomy Federation (this can be found online in The Anarchist Library), and “Reparations As A Verb” by Salish Sea Black Autonomists (this can be found online in The Anarchist Library).
