Really? Can you detail why African/American Descendants of Slaves that built this country we called America without pay and though great sacrifice are not entitled to any form of reparations since the promised 40 Acres and a Mule were never received?

Equally, the same question would apply to Indian-Americans who are the Original People of this land who were also forced to work in suffrage without pay building this land we call the United States of America?

Look forward to reading your answers.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
