Diaspora wars, who gets what, how much, cash reparations or land, direct payments or investments, when most of this work has already been done to death for almost 100 years.

It's tiring. Just glad Cali is getting things done. Caricom is also getting stuff moving so I'm happy for them as well.

I remember him, great man

Lol

I dont understand what it has to be this way. What do American reparations for slavery have anything to do with immigrants who came later ?

It's nothing inherent about that that makes it this way imo, but some (bad) arguments in favor of it can be pretty dismissive of non-ADOS.

I don't see how. There is really no conversation to be held.

When ADOS get reparations and non-ADOS don't, non-ADOS may feel slighted, now of course they should get some reparations from their colonizers. But either way, in making the case for reparations and justifying that non-ADOS shouldn't get reparations, some advocates for reparations sometimes make the mistake of minimizing the struggles of non-ADOS in the process.

That's only one side ofc, the other side makes the same mistake, just in the opposite direction.

That's stupid. Again there is no argument to be held. Why the hell would you get reparations for something your family had absolutely nothing to do with ? Just how stupid are people nowadays ? Do your research and get reparations for what was done to you and not some other people.

Calm down bruh I'm just telling you why these discussions turn hostile from what I've seen, I'm not against reparations myself

Black Cinema doesn’t get credit. King Richard was directed by a black man. How many films have won an Oscar directed by black people?

That’s crazy dude.

Y’all ever think about changing your last name

People call it whack but Tubi is a really cool service. They have categories based around black work.
