What ever happened to that Reparations study?

[Buddy]

Like around 2019 The members of The ADOS movement questioned members of Congress on camera and called office directly to see if they support House Resolution Bill 40 Study for Reparations for slavery. This increases the number of Congress members signing the bill. Also ADOS movement called out NCOBRA which is the reparations organization that has been around since the 90s but we're stagnant in getting momentum for reparations. NCOBRA then got more involved and directly asked certain Congress members to the bill.



But ADOS then advocated for changes and edits to the bad parts of the bill. The bad parts of the bill gives funding to members doing the study. A pay day

ADOS cofounders Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore want the members of the study only to be compensated for lodges and food expenses and a stipend but not hundreds of thousands in a payday to members and the organizations.

Also another part of the bill fails to limit reparations to Black descndants of US slaves and opens it up to all Black Americans even those whondont descend from US slaves( Nigerian Americans Jamiacan American) etc.
The exclusivity is important in that it guards against challenges of race favoring and constitutionality.

NCOBRA wasn’t afforded social media & smart phones.
This is like saying low level artists in the 90s were stagnant cause insert SoundCloud rapper are blowing up and getting deals today.

You sure about that? The Japanese had a study

Establishes a Board of Directors which shall be responsible for making disbursements from the Fund. Provides that disbursements from the Fund shall be used to: (1) sponsor research and public educational activities dealing with the internment; (2) publish and distribute the hearings, findings, and recommendations of the Commission; and (3) pay administrative expenses of the Board.

They fukked around lumped in "Aleuts" too... I'm not arguing that, just sharing what I found from a quick search

Title II: Aleutian and Pribilof Islands Restitution - Aleutian and Pribilof Islands Restitution Act - Establishes within the Treasury the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands Restitution Fund. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to make restitution for certain Aleut losses sustained in World War II, conditioning such payments on the availability of appropriated funds.​

H.R.442 - 100th Congress (1987-1988): Civil Liberties Act of 1987

The current Bill is still in the House and has not come to the floor for a vote yet.



The way the current Bill is written is deeply flawed. There is no deadline for the study, no mention that the main objective of any Reparations program has to at a minimum close the racial wealth gap between Black and White Americans. Reparations Advocates (ADOS/Freedman/FBA) are requesting that the changes proposed by Prof Darity be added to the Bill. Sheila Jackson Lee has stated her refusal to make those edits.

Show Me the Money: Reparations Scholar Is Not a Fan of Reparations Bill

Reparation Advocates are not supporting H.R. 40 without the Darity edits. I think our next move should be writing the Bill we want from scratch, get support from Congress people and have them introduce the Bill.

Former ADOS Chapter members (currently in the groups United Sons and Daughters of Freedman) Ros from the DMV and Arthur Ward from Chicago, discuss the problems with H.R. 40.

DuBois studied it back in the 1890s. Slave owners got that check 2-3 years after slavery ended. We have to keep fighting because it will never happen willingly.

Biden playing Jenga, not uno yall. In 2050 once things cool down, the democrats can get this study going

No reason this one can't be fixed

 

[Problematic Pat]

I used to think this too but you put enough of your own people on positions of power…

The US paid reparations to the JEWS for the Holocaust

MLK at 0:50

Jews used $$$$ to get shyt done. Black people think just because you vote for someone they are beholden to you. No giving that person $$$$ for their campaign is what they listen to.

Sheila Jackson Lee is tight with people from NAARC and NCBRA. They are against the edits, especially the ADOS criteria.
SJL has rejected the changes Prof Darity suggested and has told advocates such.
