So, 😑, let me get this straight.

The state of New York miraculously found $183 MILLION dollars to pay reparations to victims, and their descendants, of the Holocaust, but not one cent for the descendants of those who were stolen and enslaved.

Am I understanding that correctly?

The Holocaust happened in a completely different country. It did not happen here. But WE'RE paying reparations for it?

The atrocities of slavery and cultural genocide happened here. It happened for hundreds of years. And we're just going to continue to mutter "we just can't figure out what to do"?

Representative Cori Bush introduced a comprehensive reparations bill, last year, that is languishing in the hands of Jim Jordan and the Judiciary committee.

But even that bill is unknown to most people. Because heaven forbid we discuss it. Heaven forbid we promote it.
