26. Isn't doing the right thing important, too?

This country was built with back-breaking labor by the enslaved. This went on for decades after we became a nation. And after emancipation, the system was rigged against them enjoying the rights and privileges of citizenship. Much of the system stayed in place, and has reverberated through generations of African-Americans.

If we don't correct this injustice now, when will it be time? In 10 years? 50 years? Never?

The longer we wait, the more expensive reparations become. If American had kept its promises after emancipation, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I would like to see the population polled once they have a better understanding of the forms of reparations. I don't believe most people know what it is. It's like polling for Obamacare, where the majority (used) to say they were against it, versus calling out each benefit that the ACA provides. Not surprisingly, the ACA is more popular than thought because of the explanation,.

Bringing this back around, the Green New Deal comprehends the urgency of reparations and ties them to economic prosperity that will benefit everyone.
