Thoughtful Thursday: Reparations (Fantasy or Reality?)

Written By Kyra Taylor

Since our arrival in America (in whatever manner we arrived), African Americans have faced a number of obstacles. In Trump’s America we are 155 years post slavery and African American’s wealth is on average 10x’s less than that of a white family. Economically, we are still at a severe disadvantage as an entire community. 

Today’s Thoughtful Thursday question is:

What are your thoughts on African Americans receiving *reparations? What would be your chosen form of reparations? (cash, free home, free land, free education or other )

*Reparations: the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.
