“the harms caused by the enslavement of Africans in NYC”
I’m not crazy about this wording. So just to be clear, not all racially black people in NY have ties to the harms of American chattel slavery. Which is why reparatory justice should be lineage based, not race based.
Join NYC CORE in partnership with @NYCCHR and @EquityNYCGov on June 10 at 4:30 pm at Weeksville Heritage Center for a discussion on Citywide Reparations!
Together, we are going to discuss Local Law 92 and begin to understand how New York can address the harms caused by the enslavement of Africans in NYC.

Malcolm X once said “They attack the VICTIM. Then the CRIMINAL who attacked the VICTIM accuses the VICTIM of attacking him.
This is American Justice.
This American Democracy.
American Democracy = Hypocrisy” Sound familiar?
All that marching for the #HandsOff protests… and Trump is still your president. Black people, let’s be real—this ain’t our fight. That entire movement is just white-on-white political warfare. It’s elite liberals vs. MAGA conservatives.
@sirenaswims_ Oh okay, that’s what’s up. Thanks for the clarity.
I know that there were a few thousand Black Americans who went to the DR in the 1800s and formed a group called Samaná Americans. It’s possible you could be related to that.
@sirenaswims_ So you’re only half Dominican then?
If so, have you ever said that you’re Black American with one of your parent’s lineage in the Dominican Republic?
@kelpkoralreef Sheryl Lee Ralph is half Black American half Jamaican. She’s actually bi-ethnic. The dude you quoted is being very deceitful with his wording.
