Hope for reparations?

47. Here is the text of the argument he made

The isea is that the money comes from divestment away from prison system and investments target communities which have been hit hardest. TThey are not framing it as reparations, but at the end of the day, that's what they're talking about.

In social justice circles, we often talk of the abolition of the criminal justice system as it stands today: prejudiced, unaccountable, and dangerous. But when we finally arrive at that promised land, when we have deconstructed the American criminal justice system and created systems that empower us, what happens? When we have made it so none of our citizens feel endangered by the people who have sworn to protect and serve them, how will we move forward? Will we acknowledge that the war on drugs led to nothing but pain and lost opportunity for communities of color? Will we assess the financial and emotional costs of those lost opportunities?
