"I agree with you Joy it has to be studied we have to educate ourselves to understand that the source of reparations, the political demand for reparations is a matter of solidarity politics. you can force anybody to do anything if you can organize enough people to do it and it is in their interest to concede to you. it is in the interest of the United States government to support Israel, by the way last I checked Israel is not in the United States although some people will call it the 51st state why because it's in the political interests of the United States government and the people who back Israel to do that. we don't organize ourselves enough to be able to bring that to bear, it's not going to come through descendants of slaves or slavery those kind of organizations. it's going to come through solidarity politics with black people everywhere, that's when you see the United States government move. so I agree with you, I mean we/you know. anyway let me let me pause there because people kind of get confused when you start about lineage, you can wrap yourself in that red white and blue flag till you turn red white and blue in the face. ain't going to move an inch in a white national's country. that's not going to give you anything until you stand up and say I'm going to force you to give me something because I am self-determining that's the foundation for any reparations case, not a begging plea!"
