Yes, it should (I agree w/ you there) but reparations in a way that pays up while we sever ties w/ the U.S. & our relationship to it.
Also, I would just say that this is but ONE necessity for our freedom & that we are still learning/trying to make sense of what we lost due to slavery beyond capital.



Somewhat dense academic language aside, I think you're going to enjoy reading that paper I linked.

It definitely gets into the meat & potatoes of the Marxist/economic greed analysis of slavery doesn't have as much teeth as week think b/c a slave =/= laborer. Additionally within the paper, there's a hyperlink to a rebuttal of Ta-nehisi Coates' "The Case for Reparations" that basically says that reparations is a liberal, non-radical, inclusion-based idea.
