Reparations : Do We Take It, Or Leave It?

What do you think about Reparations?

Planning on spending that money? Do you think that it is justified to accept? There are many takes on this settlement for work and discrimination during the 400 years of black slavery and the Jim Crow era. This degradation continues up until today.

Initially my reaction to Reparations was “I don’t need any handouts”. But further evaluation led to this thought: My ancestors contributed a concrete value to this country and that was labor. That has to be considered as unpaid salary. This salary should be passed down to their desendants. This is just logical. This is not like the Japanese or Jewish reparations and should not be compared. Black Slavery was continuous labor and discrimination. There is no comparison.
