Why do you think there is a strong push for reparations this election cycle, it isn't really debatable that racist policies of the past still affect descendants of slavery. Also I should add that the last known former slave died in 1971, so we're not that far removed.
Yes--Slavery was simply the opening act. The United States government is directly responsible for a legion of atrocities committed against Black Americans that extend well beyond chattel slavery. Laid out line by line, it's quite apparent that the U.S. government never had any intention for Black Americans being anything other than a permanent underclass post-slavery and continuously enacted policy with the express purpose of inflicting maximum damage to the Black collective.
Which brings us to a Democratic Party that rejects restorative justice for Black Americans, yet demands that we come to their aid in saving America from itself.
No fucking way.
No reparations, no vote.
Let the chips fall where they may.
