Did you read the article??? That is the first step that HAS to be taking before the government can even consider reparations.
You have to read our conversation in context of the article or else it will sound like we're money hungry or something!
It's all symbolic...a way of righting a wrong(in a sense) in this material world. Every group or peoples America has wronged has gotten some form of reparations, except us... And it will stay that way if we don't do something about it!

I can't feel you on that man, What effect has slavery had on White folks except make them rich off our free labor. Like Mos Def Said on "Mr. Nigga"- "Don't hate me, my people poor we just got money...ya'll (still) livin' off of slave traders paper."
<Damn the money!!!!!!!!!
When so many of my people are living (and dying)in the projects? I think not. Give my folks a house of their own for instance...
