It’s law and has a time limit which is automatically better than the open-endedness of The commission to study reparations. How do you think the “studies of reparations” would be funded? - - through grants. The grants in itself aren’t meant to be reparations.

In August 1619, 20 enslaved Africans were brought to Point Comfort in the English colony of Virginia. Point Comfort is now part of Fort Monroe National Monument.
The 400 Years of African-American History Commission Act, signed into law January 8, 2018, established a 15-member commission to coordinate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans in the English colonies. The Commission will meet at least three times a year.
The Commission's purpose is to plan, develop, and carry out programs and activities throughout the United States that:
- recognize and highlight the resilience and cultural contributions of Africans and African Americans over 400 years;
- acknowledge the impact that slavery and laws that enforced racial discrimination had on the United States;
- encourage civic, patriotic, historical, educational, artistic, religious, and economic organizations to organize and take part in anniversary activities;
- assist states, localities, and nonprofit organizations to further the commemoration; and
- coordinate scholarly research about the arrival of Africans and their contributions to the United States.
- grants to communities and nonprofit organizations to develop programs;
- grants to research and scholarly organizations to research, publish, or distribute information about the arrival of Africans in the United States; and
- technical assistance to states, localities, and nonprofit organizations.
The Commission's Strategic Plan outlines the mission, vision, values, goals, and initiatives for the 400th anniversary commemoration.

The study of reparations will have to be bi-partisan either way eventually to be effective so I don’t see your point
i mean i said it several times
the bill you keep talkin about is a bunch of bullshyt that wont really help out ados long term
it doesnt study reparations
it doesnt give reparations
which is why it passed so easily and under the radar
its a fluff bill

I think his point is that it is essentially My Brother's Keeper but for reparation. It says it is going to do a lot of things, but it uses grants and private institutions to do so.
Which means nothing is gonna get done.

I read their strategy bill, they aren't funded. They are searching for volunteers to run their social media. It's a sham.
i fukkin knew it
democrats and republicans most likely fund bullshyt when it targets us positively
