“Listen..”

Just a reminder slave masters got #reparations and Kamala Harris is a “barrier to progress” and “we have to recognize it.”

"The phrase “by parties unknown” was commonly used in official documents about murders that were not going to be pursued, and it became a euphemism for lynching.

This print visually evokes the 3,381 lynchings of African Americans between 1882 and 1935 across the United States."

YES, and also, something that is almost never spoken about: to pay #REPARATIONS to the peoples of the countries the US has been bombing for 25 years, virtually nonstop!

China lends the money.Countries rack up the debt.Britain gets presented with the bill for history,and we’re apparently not supposed to ask whether British taxpayers’ money could ultimately help countries service debts owed to China.

Sorry,but I’m going to ask.

This #semibased take from #RedPanels presents a double-edged knife situation. If we can't take pride in our ancestors' accomplishments, then how can we assume guilt for their atrocities? Of course it works the other way around as well... #reparations

What about the Black parent who experienced the legacy of slavery through poverty, discrimination, or incarceration? Those struggles don’t become less real simply because their child has one Black parent instead of two. #reparations

Mixed heritage doesn’t automatically mean someone experienced White or Asian privilege or was spared Black discrimination. Their family history and lived experience matter, not simply the fact that they have a non-Black parent. #reparations

Being biracial shouldn’t make someone less deserving of reparations when they are perceived and treated as Black, and were born in the U.S. to a Black parent whose ancestry can be traced here in the U.S.A. to 1865 or earlier. #reparations

We need to make sure we don’t exclude biracial people by saying they’re “not Black enough.” How does Black ancestry make someone Black, yet being biracial somehow mean they haven’t experienced the same discrimination? #reparations
