People say, slavery happened a long tiime ago, they say all the slaves are dead, They worry about people claiming to be black being able to benefit from any type of reparations.
These people in large live in America. They are the ones whose families have benefited from the institution of slavery and the after effects.
What they don't understand is nothing can replace what was taken from the African American.
They lost their language
Their culture
Their religion
Their family history
They were cut off at the root for not 5 or 10 years but hundreds of years.
Generations have came and went with nothing to pass on to the next.
Most people know their family background, What country they are from and their nationality.
They have cultural music, dance, food, traditions, clothes and customs handed down for generations.
Its not about the money its about the acknowledgement of a horrible wrong done to a helpless people.
Would it be fair for African Americans to live tax free?
