Read the following story. It's a tragedy. Now think about this... Who was harmed? Who is being healed from the tragedy wrought by this indiscriminate, widespread, ongoing harm?
Reparations, by any other name looks like... Well, just what does it look like?
This is what it looks like in modern-day America:
"Jelenek said her work is not focused on looking to the past or securing compensation for people who were exposed; those efforts have long failed.
"Instead, THE TASK FORCE IS FOCUSED ON WORKING WITH THE EPA AND HOLDING IT ACCOUNTABLE [emphasis added] to make sure the land is restored.
"She said it has been an up-and-down relationship."
Substitute FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for EPA; next, change "the land" with "Black Americans" in that sentence, and you'll come away with the aim of what reparations to AADOS/Foundational Black Americans will look like.
The final sentence in the quote is a reality check. If White-led, White-run government organizations are wishy-washy with their own constituencies, we will have a nearly unsurmountable obstacle before us, when it comes to obtaining what is owed to us.
