Black immigrant gives an impassioned speech about why she deserves reparations.

[Voice of Reason]

 

[CP3.]

Stopped taking her seriously after 5 seconds when she said "angerment". bytch just out here creating words.

 

[O.Red]

She's not serious

Caribbeans have a reparations claim, but it's with the crown. She knows this, but it's easier to piggyback than be completely honest

 

[Fillerguy]

A racist America will never give any black group reparations. Putting the cart before the horse.

 

[Still Benefited]

Powerful sister.

All black people in this country have a claim to reperations. The problem is the claim itself

 

[MajesticLion]

 

[RamsayBolton]

Black Americans deserve it more/primarily

No point talking about this for the next 40 years since Trump got his Supreme court undoing anything pro-Black tho

 

[UpAndComing]

Why not just ask the Caribbean country your family is from for Reparations?

 

[TripleAgent]

She's lucky she didn't get dragged

 

[TEH]

FOH

Holler at England and ask them for your check

 

[DonB90]

NY Caribbean immigrants are flagrantly disrespectful to Black Americans.

These Haitians are deeeepppp down here in Florida and and I'd argue even more connected to their native cultures and they don't even be outta pocket like that.

It's worth noting that most of their countries didn't existed at that time. Most of the Caribbean got its independence in the mid-1900s

Also from what she's describing, she seems to be asking the wrong person. Her claim is independent of FBA/ados claims, but can still be filed domestically.

Spoiler: the woman in the video's claim

She seems to be describing a civil complaint with the banking apparatuses of New York from the 1800s. These entities still exist , and they did indeed finance a bunch of the plantations in the Caribbean. JP Morgan Sr's bank and Citi were involved heavy. But I don't think it's correct for her to ask a US government entity directly for reparations since these transactions occurred from independent corporations.

I think the only Caribbean nation that can ask a US government entity for direct reparations is...

Spoiler: one nation with a claim against America

Haiti since the US govt has directly fcked them over purely because they were black. It's not indirect, like with the case of the New York Banks financing the slave trade. But its a case where US Marines in federal agents legit robbed Haitian govt vaults or instituted multiple coupe-de-tats . These aren't necessarily clams for slavery itself, but for institutional sabotage of the Haitian government.

I think it's important not to conflate different reparations claims because it weakens the entire argument.

Spoiler

It would be wiser to focus on specific grievances such as chattel slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, foreign fckery independently . I'm reminded of how the southern Baptist coalition and the NAACP didn't target segregation as whole, but instead; strategically targeted The weakest elements of the law, until the whole thing collapsed

That means nothing. America didn't exist in 1619 when they brought slaves over to this land

Yes, I didn't realize how recent they got independence. My mom was telling us stories about they had them singing all these "england will never be slaves" songs in school (Trinidad).


But I dunno what girl in the op is talking about. Caribbean Islands have their qualms against the respective European countries.

That is why I am a strong proponent of delineation and positive ethnic-bias towards ADOS/FBA.
