See that's where the ADOS and the FBA folks get it wrong, who deserves what and how much? since we can't figure it out Then how about nothing then?It isn't white people. I study slavery. The records are poorly kept. Some formerly enslaved people change their names post-emancipation. Some formerly enslaved people left the country. (i.e Liberia). Multiple waves of immigration from the Caribbean and African nations in the 20th-century. The scope is tricky. You don't want to exclude people because you cannot locate their ancestors. That is elitism.
Obama's conversation doesn't stem from whether or not ADOS are worthy. More so, How do you administer reparations without empowering other groups who aren't deserving? Most ADOS orgs are trying to understand the scope and proper-administration.
Obama's response was My Brother's Keeper (MBK). He went into areas of AA-density and give funding to grassroots orgs as well as incentivized private companies to provide jobs for Black boys/men.
There's Black people who owned other Black people, some did it to buy there relatives from slavery some did it just to make money. The point is All Black people were effected by slavery
Name a government program that wasn't abused? There's dudes going to jail now over stimulus hustles, should we not do the stimulus because we can't vefiy that people won't try to scam it?
I say #cutthecheck Yes there will be some white people who will pull out some old Black ancestor and get a check. Yes house slaves and sellouts will get a check. Yes non ADOS and half ADOS will get checks. Yes Black people will blow it and give it right back to white people, yes Black people especially rich ones will have their taxes raised to pay for the checks they recieve and yes no matter what the payout a massive distribution of that money will cause inflation which will make the money worth less than it would if it was given out based on production.
But all of that is white supremacy babble designed on not paying reparations. Pay it or don't pay it but all the bullshyt talking points don't apply when other people got their checks so it shouldn't apply to us.
