If the whole of the horrors of slavery and Jim Crow were readily accessible to all American high school students just like info about ancient Christian and Muslim torture is currently, the racial problems in America would have been solved a while ago. Plus, I think we'd've received reparations as well. I still don't understand how the American government can be so blatantly biased in who the compensate for past wrongs and nobody except folks on "the fringe", seems to think that the bias is completely wrong.

Even Blacks are againsts reparations! Damn! The brainwashing is '
complete.
I just don't understand how a Proud Black man could support Reparations. When we were taking from Africa, we were NOT Using the American Dollar with George Washington on it.... Do you not see that if we take money for Slavery... That'll be like saying your awful legacy can be bought. And after we get that payment we can never mention it again... Not only that our history is NOT for Sale... If we were to take any form of reparation, save for maybe education, the only good it would do would be for us to put money back into this system.. If our brothers and sisters in the hood especially get it, you can know for certain that the quick cash will NOT last long... We have got to be economically independent... We cannot depend on Welfare to get us up and that is all reparations from this government would be. Why Ask whites to repair whats damaged to us, when we can do it ourselves.. My first act for reparations would be to END black on Black homicides. Then to educated everyone of us, on our history and Their history... And take it from there.
