Battles with Integrity

I think that reparations in the form of a free college education or small business loan for any person of African descent who wants one would be a valid place to start reparations.

Everyone in the US has profited from slavery and the continued oppression of people of color in the US.

For me, reparations are about being honorable and keeping the promises that this nation has made in its founding documents.

We are a nation without honor, we have abandoned so much of why we fought the revolution in the first place our founding fathers would find us unrecognizable.

When this nation was founded we had one thing to get right - eliminating slavery from our land. We failed because we chose profit over people and as a result we are all subject to those consequences- it is not enough to be an American when we get things right, one must be an American in the face of the wrongs committed as well.
