Let’s think about this … or maybe not

Perhaps she is trying to be sarcastic, even funny. Could she possibly not know that government is “folks?” You know stuff like “We the people in order to form a more perfect government …”

Does she not know that black folk pay their taxes too?

Does the government have its own economy?

Every country, every society has something to atone for in the way it treated its citizens and others. It’s time to move on.

The position shown in the above only seeks to divide, to keep black Americans in a separate category. That seems quite unfair to hard working black families striving to be and achieve what every American wants.

    “That word “reparations” still scares a lot of people, including members of Congress. It scares them in part because they don’t understand what it is. They think that reparations is about cutting a check, when it’s really about repair for a community that has suffered enormously for centuries.”

    “Reparations can mean fixing a policing system that disproportionately profiles, arrests and kills Black people; reforming an incarceration system that has disproportionately put Black people behind bars; changing an educational system that still segregates children based on race; addressing discrimination in housing that prevents Black people from qualifying for home loans or exposes them to predatory lenders; and yes, direct financial compensation.”

    “If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that white supremacy is still going strong. Many Americans never imagined they would see the horrors that white supremacists brought to Charlottesville, Virginia. They never thought they’d watch in real time a brazen mob full of white supremacists bringing zip ties, Confederate insignia and violence into the Capitol.”

    1. I never studied Critical Race Theory in college, but we did touch on the subject in several Sociology (and Economics) classes. Some people claim that racism no longer exists, or worse yet, that “reparations” by the Nina Turner definition has gone …too… far.
