Caribbean wins reparations payments

[AlainLocke]

260mil usd divided among the people is nothing, but can go a long way if pooled together and properly invested for the sake of the entire community.

As someone who strongly believed we would never get reparations(and still don't think we will), is this the better route? There's something like 42 million of us in the US, how can we all reasonably get reparations? It would cost 4bill to give each of us just $100... If we got a huge amount of cash and poured that into our infrastructure for example though, that could be a more feasible and effective plan.

With how the courts work, if there is precedent for something, then you keep demanding.

So any institution that gives reparations is a win.

People that expecting that some government is gonna be like:

"Oh, I am so sorry, " and just throw money around are expecting too much.

And people that think it is not never gonna happen are expecting too little and don't seem to understand the moment we are in.

We are living the most brutal era in the human race has ever known. Some of us don't see it or feel it because they are blinded by technology and entertainment.

But there are homeless 1st Worlders out here right now, sleeping on the street while there are empty buildings.

25 year old Americans are racked up a million dollars in debt just so they can get a 100K job and have a house and a car.

That's just in the 1st world. Now imagine what is it is like everywhere else. Women working in clothing factories for a dollar twenty-five. Children mining for raw materials to build cellphone.

The West has fukked up the entire world and descendants of Africa suffer the most from the tyranny of Western imperialism and capitalism.

Reparations is a necessity for all of us. West Africa needs reparations for colonization and DOS need it reparations for slavery and West Africa and Europe gonna have to pay up.


It's not going to happen in our lifetime but maybe a generation or two from now will look back when they got reparations and be proud that we stood up for our ancestors so they can have a better life instead of what we went through just like how we look back on the two generations before us.

everybody was ballin with slaves

hope them Caibbean folks go after Duke now.

YO! I heard Georgetown university sold off slaves to keep afloat. Someone posted that article somewhere. See now I know why white folks ain’t wanted to pay up reperations. It’s more about money it mostly living better than life than white People. shyt. Go to any college for free.

They still would be ADOS - meaning they were enslaved here -- and their descendants are here. I don't get your point. But, OK.

thats what i said in the other thread..

there were folks in that very thread who not only thought i was Caribbean, but thought i was implying all Caribbeans were backpacking off ADOS..

 

[Easy-E]

Again, no one with sense.

I remember being clowned anytime I posted Tone and Yvette stuff.

TONETALKS Live: Freeway Rick Ross talks Jay-z. Trickle Down Taxes and Black Wealth In America

All these newbies are following Tariq's lead (who barely understands himself) and misusing this.

Again, the people who've created it have never been about xenophobia or "slavery never happened in the Caribbean."

Hell, I've read that sugar farming was worst because of the heat and how fast that the English wanted the shyt. It just wasn't the chattel slavery that existed in America.

You have to take responsibility for picking out the idiotic shyt.

That’s how it always is. We are in the early stages of seeing white supremacy crack. Just like black folks were seeing a end to chattel slavery.

I get the feeling the UK was always a little bit ahead of the curve than the US on certain issues. I don't see this same scenario playing out in the US too soon. I apologize for being a Debbie Downer on the subject.

Nah you right. America on the other hand is entitled child that has bullied African countries on the playground. Once Africa sucker punch that kid it’s a done deal from America.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Can't see that ahole Macron going for reparations. To be fair, no one is owed reparations like Haiti, considering how France treated them.

Franch knows the damn deal. If they pay up they would look like the worst area of Miami

Our Caribbean black brothers and sisters out here fighting. We, Ados, fighting.

The diaspora is fighting back! And I love it!

UK has a better infrastructure than a Caribbean country, better job prospects. They can travel to almost any country without a visa.
Jamaicans need a visa just to go to the Cayman Islands and many other countries. They must pay tax same as "regular" citizens.
If the countries get this money, it's basically guaranteed the Govt officials with siphon it for them & their friends

Yeah, Brain Drain is one of the killers of Jamaica.
I'd rather not reinforce that.

I'd like something along the lines of what Coates said in his essay in the Atlantic. Something along the lines of what Israel got from Germany maybe.

Gotta read more into it before I give my thoughts on this.
