non-ADOS can make their own claim, they're not apart of this one. This is multi-generational trauma that dates back to slavery, the black immigrants (pre 1960, black immigrants were no more than 2% of the black pop) who were here pre-1965 are free to make their own claim, don't try to crowbar into ours.

My Family Are Not Immigrants.
I told yall here they come. Went from "yall need to stop beggin" to "all black ppl deserve a check"
These people will shamelessly latch on. The only way is a family history trace or else they'll just try to camouflage and blend in
I think we should get the money immediately with classes having to be completed at certain time within receiving funds then after that the class costs and that money goes back into the pot somehow.

It should happen but it probably never will.
This is what I want to see more of. People talking about land.
I've been going back and forth about which would be more beneficial, designated swaths of land where we could build and maintain our own cities (compliant with federal regulations - but certainly our own police forces) or individual plots.
Bottom line, if land isn't discussed, I'm not interested.
Ignore him he's a clown. He comes in every black related thread and trolls. Just neg and keep it pushin
This is great and all, but if high ranking elected black officials don't sign off of reparations - including barack AND michelle, it ain't happening...
they also know that reparations would be the end of their political careers as well...but again, dope that Johnson said this.

Courses on financial literacy HAVE TO come with that money.
If your only understanding of money is living pay check to pay check and hitting the check cashing place, you'll blow through all that cash and it'll go right back up to the millionaires and billionaires instead of staying at your level and benefiting you, your family, your neighborhood and so on.
$10,000 for most Americans is life changing money. $400,000 would change GENERATIONS, if put to use properly.
If we could get great government subsidized educational benefits, better laws against discrimination and an even harsher penalty for violating them. The change within a lifetime would be staggering.

Land speaks volumes. I'm starting to look to buy land in areas not developed for cheap in Florida. Land is apart of that whole generational wealth

Michelle and Barrack ain't in office rn, so fukk them nikkas
As long as we get Congress; Senate, and or the president to back this, we getting it. We already have about 25-33% of Congress who support HR 40 rn. These protests and covid makes it the perfect time to go for Reparations, as long as more of us keep pushing for it then we'll get it.
With that in mind, where does that leave me; you, and everyday ADOS like ourselves? Right now, we can call our local reps(mayors; congressman, senator, etc) and demand they push the US gov to enact Reparations to ADOS now.
