we talked about this in my history class. do you think black people should get reparations for slavery?
I actually do think so, and for these reasons. 1. they were PROMISED 2. slavery was an institution that not only displaced a people, but destroyed their culture and history 3. it would help the economy reparations would cause each person of african descent (about 36 million in america)to get at least $10k. That would lead to new houses being purchased, cars bought, and educations paid for. Small businesses would be started too. And after all, Jews got reparations from the german gov't because of the holocaust, native americans get money for college from the feds, adn Japanese americans too. Slavery wasn't formally apologized for until bill clinton. |
