They’ve been through human rights violations and the most direct way to amend that is giving them citizenship. That’s what they were after and from the hell I assume they went through that’s the best they’re gonna get and probably the route that will be chosen.
Reparations tho, for non citizens that came here by choice
FOH!!!
Reparations for them is uninstalling the US backed puppet governments that destabilized the places from whence they came so they have a home to call their own. That place is not here however.
Through the very conception of the African American, the US is our homeland where systemically, for hundreds of years we have been subjected to genocide and disenfranchisement. Through our contributions America stands and we are not going anywhere. In order to be our best selves we need the government that oversaw said genocide and disenfranchisement for centuries to pay what is owed to use regardless of how they fear it will impact the administration of law and America’s power dynamics internally and externally. In addition to being America’s greatest wrong, what is owed to Aframs is America’s greatest debt. That is reparations and that verbiage should be reserved exclusively for ADOS African American concerns.
It’s fukkd up and I don’t have all the answers, and there’s probably a right answer on how to handle this, reparations is not one of them
