Do this tweet again and replace the PEOPLE OF COLOR phrase with BLACK AMERICANS. No one else under that broad name y’all are forcing on us are entitled to reparations. Do better Marianne.

The Navajo Nation is suffering terribly and unjustly from COVID too. Reparative measures in response to history of genocide are also important, in addition to reparations for slavery. Not either/or. Both issues on full display now.

No. Blacks shouldn’t get money for something they and myself had no part in. Continuing the victim mindset is what keeps them down these days. Stop telling them white people are against them.

Generation of Germans that owned up & paid reparations for the Holocaust is not the generation that perpetrated it. History continues to have effects until a generation interrupts the trajectory. I defy you to read one book about slavery or its aftermath & repeat that propaganda.

What do you mean by reparations? You are continuing the problem by just throwing money at these people. They want change through better jobs, more opportunities and better healthcare. You dont get proper change by funneling money through a government that cant work for itself.

“Just throwing money at these people;” such languaging of the issue an example of the problem. A continuation of the same paternalism to say what “they” want & how “we” think we can fix them. Morally correct to simply pay a debt that’s owed; then “they” can decide how to do that.

There is something wrong with your brain.
