I didn't eat chicken for a month when I got out. Yuck.

I did received 1/3 off of my DUI probation violation sentence for working, which is far better than any other form of payment.

To your question, I think any other reparation talk should wait for now. This is the most traction/discussion that reparations for AAs has received in my lifetime (35), and I'd hate to see any other reparations cause take away from theirs.
