[@Knowledgeseeker567]

Two of my inspirations Dr. Greg Carr and Cornel West.

[@gregorythomas7214]

As much as Cornell West profoundly articulates on White Supremacy how does he not speak for 10 minutes without honoring or even acknowledging the major major early analysis of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing.

Reparations should be paid by those organizations and individuals, and the offspring of, those who benefited directly by slavery to those who were impacted directly by it. Why should an immigrant who just got here a few years ago receive reparations? To make it feasible we have to limit it to the true victims of the crime of slavery.

Reparations shouldn't be paid period, everyone involved is dead, it's over, people need to move on and stop resenting people who never wronged them. Racial activists are the real racists.

[@alidabirnia2882]

@@TheIlluvater I think reparations should indeed be paid in some form and money itself isn't enough. This also applies to natives. It's not over it just slightly changed form. Angola was once a mass plantation and now it doesn't look much different. Every human being is sacred and ultimately no one is left out of the equation. This garbage system we have isn't working for us, in case you haven't noticed.

Hey I got an idea: reparations shouldn’t be paid at all because no one in the US alive today has ever been nor has ever owned African slaves.
