The money and the free education are things that the government can control. I doubt the US Government would do anything else on your list because most of that is controlled by private entities unless they would strike a deal offering the services you suggest.

The main thing you are missing is tax exemption...ON EVERYTHING! African-Americans shouldn't have to pay taxes!

Property
Personal Income
Sales
Estate

Getting the business income tax exemption is a long shot, but we absolutely deserve it! A tax rate no more than 5% is more than fair in comparison to the economic destruction the US Government as inflicted on us.

absolutely forgot tax exemptions.

I’d also like land set aside like the native Americans got.

This is a start :ehh:
Obviously the Louisville mayor hasn't really put significant pressure for Reparations, nor has he punished the race soldiers who murdered Breonna. However the above is a win, and us ADOS need to start counting our wins. :ehh:

If we intend to use this moment as a catalyst, we need to get on message. Coli brehs and brehettes with good sm followings need to put out talking points. Somebody need to get at both Ice's, Tea and Cube. Re tweet Ben and Jerry's relations tweet to your white friends (wp love vt)

Our messaging needs to be tight. When they interview a random bp at a protest, their first sentence should be advocating reparations.

I wish someone in mainstream media would start pushing this.

Like everything else, reparations has become political. For most in the mainstream purview, reparations rings as "give black people money" without context.


It can become a mainstream talking point if it is given its proper framing; a fundamental issue of economic justice.
