We are the white allies of the @ReparationsComm, dedicated to the immediate implementation of the 10-Point Reparations Plan.
#Reparations & #ReparationsNOW!
We want to address @NPR reporter @JenniferLudden for their article on “why most Americans oppose reparations” from last week. There’s some important data that was left out of the article. Also, headlines are important for creating cultural rhetoric and this one was white centric.
