One thing that America never has said directly is that the American government forced poverty onto the black community and held them there.
I always knew about housing discrimination but never the details.
For our entire existence this country has been a racist torturous devious systematic regime of hate -
Interesting article, although I've only read part of it. Reparations are fair but it will never happen. Not just because Europeans would hesitate to pay, but because the African tribes who sold our ancestors into slavery to the White man long ago would also hesitate to pay. Sad but it is what it is, we're better off just furthering our education and making what we can of ourselves
