Why are reparations “controversial?“
Black Americans need #Reparations in the form of CASH PAYMENTS.
All that “money to HBCUs” and “criminal reform” talk is NOT reparations.
Foundational Black Americans are owed cash payments. The federal government made MONEY from free Black labor. So we need THAT MONEY
People try to play dumb and ask WHERE the money for reparations will come from. It will come from the same pool of money used to build prisons to mass incarcerate Black people. #Reparations
