TO add this people on both sides dont even understand their history and neither do they understand the history of the other. So it’s a bunch of ignorant mfers running around pointing fingersYeah..
No real discussion will come of this..
It’s a reason why ADOS are nervous about going back home..
Get over the past but hold on to old school jonesing like

He conveniently leaves out the little nuances to this conversation..

That's why I say I don't entirely agree with him. His perspective lacks empathy because neither he nor the Senegalese are in our shoes. Vlad tried to reel him him too to clean his position up if you listen carefully, but Akon pretty much doubled down. Definitely a lack of empathy on his part, not to mention ignorant of how slavery is affecting us to this day. That said, it's not something to simply get over and move on.
Where my views do run parallel to his, is not holding one's breath waiting on a check. I salute those that are pushing for reparations as it is overdue. However, at the same time I wouldn't hold my breath either. Some folks are willing to disregard organization, or forgo exercising political capital beyond the surface in the name of getting the check cut. That's a fatal mistake to me. I think most recognize that you can push for reparations and at the same time stay vigilant and be active socially and politically. There are some though who have developed tunnel vision when it comes to subject. Trump just changed the judiciary in this country for decades to come, but folks will disregard that in the name of "cut the check." I'm a firm believer in doing for one's self and as Akon said if they haven't done anything now, don't be in expectation of it ever happening. That's not to say I agree with shrugging one's shoulders and giving up, but don't treat it as a zero sum game.
