Why Reparations Is Fools Gold
When it comes to Reparations, I have never been in support of it. While I believe African Americans were historically discriminated against. Some of us have forgiven, while there's a segment of Leftist needs to be aggrieved and victimized. There's no denying wrongs were committed against African Americans. However, I find it bizarre the people that advocate for reparations are African Americans that are doing better economically than most whites. Explain why Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan deserve reparations check? While Slavery was America’s Original Sin reparations implies, African Americans are an endangered species that survival depends on good and noble white liberals. As an African American, I find it highly insulting that some whites think we are that inferior.
What happened to my ancestors before me was tragic. But I never understood the mindset of those that want to keep trying to entangle yourself with people that think so little of you,
Had African Americans followed the lead of Jackie Robinson maybe race relations would be different in America. Blacks were historically discriminated against in professional sports and entertainment, but instead of complaining about the injustice, they formed their own leagues that rivaled white run professional sports. When Jackie Robinson became the first black ballplayer he didn’t ask for special treatment he demanded let his performance rather than his race speak for him.
When Jackie first came to Brooklyn, white people didn’t want him playing on his team. Fans booed and heckled him and opposing coaches such as Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman threw black cats on the field to intimidate him. Pretty soon the fans learned Jackie was playing a brand of baseball never seen before, he was stealing home plate, making acrobatic plays and winning ballgames.
This attitude of not wanting preferential treatment, but knowing where I stand with my competitors didn’t pertain only to baseball. African Americans in the entertainment industry were historically discriminated against, but instead of complaining about racism, they took what opportunities were available. While an argument could be made the African Americans that played the role of Mammy, Bojangles and Stepin Fetchit opened the door for Sammy Davis Jr, who opened the door
.Throughout history there has been a segment of black elites that have been handpicked by the white establishment to be a spokesman for the black race. I don’t know where this compensatory mindset comes from and who appointed people such as Kamala Harris and Corey Booker to be my spokesman. I don’t want their Reparations check “Keep It” Some of us aren’t house slaves looking for approval from the benevolent slave master.
Many are descendants of Nat Turner and Denmark Vesey, History will record those who sold out while recognizing those that resisted. Malcolm X was offered millions by the White Liberal Establishment to sell out he told them “Go straight to hell!!! ” Marcus Garvey said “Up You Mighty Race!! “ Muhammad Ali said throw me in jail rather than break me. Freedom is our god given birthright, it is not negotiable. I have no interested in being
It's sad seeing so many African American defeated and broken Reparations
The problem isn’t racism, Racism didn’t stop blacks from being Tuskegee Airmen or becoming, doctors, lawyers, business owners, and professionals. When African American ran into unscrupulous white owners that robbed and exploited them Barry Gordy came up with Motown, a black run company, There were Stax records, James Brown formed his own productions while Don Cornelius came up with Soul Train. Who and when did this mindset come in that blacks were incapable of doing things for themselves?
