40 acres and a mule won't cut it anymore. What the fight for reparations looks like in 2021.
Black Americans have been fighting for reparations tied to slavery for generations. Here's what that fight looks like in 2021.

I'm so against this as a family genealogist. Because I know for a fact not all whites were slave owners in the past , and not all blacks were slaves in the past. you ever read about the black slave owners? Did you ever read that african tribles men kidnapped their own people sold them to whites off shore. Many blacks now came from other countires were there relatives were never slaves in america or had anythiing to do with American slavery. Maybe blacks should be paying us whites. From 1530 to 1780 black africans their for bearers inslaved over 1 billion europeans ,white for over 250 years. THats 50 years longer then blacks were in slaved in america. How many of us are related to them? We can not do that because so everyone in slaved everyone in the past. It was an excepted practice in anciet times you know in many countires. Should we all go broke to make others happy? Should we go against at lae of the land that say no can be hold repsponsable for one a relative did in the past, and non one can get awarded for what happend doe something done to a relative in the past. I have done my research eight branches, both sides of my family . Not one slave holder in the bunch,. Hard working middle class religious folks, many who have been in this country sence the colones and the civil war. I know who I am and I owe no one nothing. I would love too see everyone in american sit down do your family reaserch learn who you are and were you come from/. Discover something about yourself . Instead of demanding reparations for what you think you know.!
