23. Read Ta'Nehisi Coates' article in the Atlantic on reparations and educate yourself

Here's the link: http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/05/the-case-for-reparations/361631/

Find out the real reasons and stop regurgitating neo-lib/neo-con talking point.

As a POC you desperately need to educate yourself on race history and matters in this country.

Pls report back when you get a clearer understanding of the billions of dollars of black wealth that has been stolen over the centuries.

Start with this — for centuries hundred of thousands of enslaved blacks worked countless hours UNCOMPENSATED from dawn to dusk. Just think of the principle of compounding and try to comprehend the value of that wealth now. That would be in trillions of dollars, not just billions.

And people have the nerve to wonder why black household wealth is a fraction of white household wealth. All of those millions of dollars of unpaid wages went into slaveholder pockets instead of those who did the labor. No wonder there was no wealth to pass down to proceeding generations.

Digest that for a while and see if your neo-lib/neo-con talking points hold up.

As a POC you should know better.
