Respectfully, #TheBigPayback episode of #Atlanta harms #TheCaseForReparations. #Reparations won’t come from individual citizens or taxation, but through appropriations. We need voters to pressure elected officials and candidates to support the policy. This episode did not help.
I’m thrilled to see the upcoming class on Reparations & Jewish Text at Hebrew College - open to everyone. Check out what Jewish tradition and Black & Indigenous thinkers today (presumably including Jewish ones) have to say about #TheCaseForReparations. >>

American history is very radicalizing if you see the full picture. To many immigrant European ethnicities the conception of whiteness was extended while the scale was once again shifted to exclude Black and African-Americans from the American Dream. #TheCaseForReparations
After an estimated hundreds of black Tulsa residents were massacred in 1921, no arrests were made and there’s never been a complete count of the dead. The nameless were buried in unmarked graves while their families were locked down in internment camps. https://t.co/B4Z6aOCrGR
