  • I wanted to get everyone opinion on reparations. I personally don't believe in begging your oppressor for monetary payback.....especially if you don't have LIN in Africa. I attended a lecture on Saturday where our people are locked in on the reparations agenda.
    • There will be no reparations because we sold our souls to be Americans.We cant talk about our rights as American citizens and talk reparations from the same government you have an allegiance to.The Jews had a new State as the beneficiary of reparations from Germany.When we have a state we can make that case by renouncing US citizenship.As long as 90% of us work for White corporations and have no geopolitical power reparations is a farce and distraction.It only causes Negroes to come to blows among each other.
    • I'm not going to discourage any group from fighting for reparations for "Black-Americans", but it is a waste of time to fight for it when we don't have a nation to back us. Right now, the U.S. is our home base, whose ancestors also enslaved us, and we are under their constitution, which means they don't have to give us any reparations if they don't want to, especially since they have the majority of us on government welfare, free community programs, owing massive debt, on some kind of addiction, and criminal records. Most of us don't even have passports to leave the country if we wanted. I bet every "Jewish" person has a passport. Yeah you are right, we need to start some black corporations with some geopolitical power behind us before demanding reparations.
    • Just got my passport and going to GHANA for the first time.
    • How was it?
    • Boom!! We have no nation backing us.Sister you just warmed my heart with your intelligence
    • Perhaps we can find a nation(s) that will back us. This could be one nation from each section of Africa: north, south, east, west, and central. I am interested in, with support from individuals with a legal background, who possess constitutional awareness and political savvy, forming a committee, that will take our demand for reparations to an International body (perhaps the United Nations) in exchange for repatriation. Thus, LEAVING AMERICA would be our leverage. The reparations will be the ability to purchase land in our host country and establish businesses. This will take great effort and intellectual capital. I am appreciative of this group's presence and look forward to furthering this discussion.
  • Peace everybody - greetings from London!
