Until the laws were changed in the United State, starting with Brown v The Board of education in 1954 which determined that "separate but equal" was uncosntitutional and culminating in 1964 with the passage of the Civil Rights Act which made racial discimination unlawful, African Americans were legislatively relegated to second class citizenship status. That up until that point, we could be legally discriminated against due to race among other characteristics that cannot be changed.Did you read your fucking reply? From your reply:
Keyword: SURVIVORS. There are NO slaves still alive today. So we aren't paying survivors, we're paying great grandkids. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.
As I have previously mentioned, slavery is just where it started. Everything that came thereafter was just a more weasely way of keeping African Americans disenfranchised and there are plenty of people still alive who were deprived of full citizenship rights until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including my myself, my parents, their parents and siblings, etc. Furthermore, we can trace of history to the exact planatation where our ancestors spent their lives.
The damage done by the institution of slavery, Jim Crow, the Black Codes and every piece of legislation, that supported and kept in place the system of systemic white supremacy is cumlative. And if this were a court judgment, the judgment debtor would be entitled to 10 to 12% interest on the unpaid judgment. Think about that.
