If $ reparations was a reality in this time I would hope that "Uncle Sam" would not send individual checks, as that would get quite messy dealing with ancestor tracking, mixing of races, etc...not to mention the large % of that money would go right back to the white man because so many would be spending it on the newest Air Force Ones and throwback jerseys. What they need to do is put money into the suffering inner city school districts, (like OAKLAND's) and push the youths to succeed in more ways than financially... Creating after school programs and workshops that would focus on the interests of the youths, like dancing, drumming, DJ lessons, art, etc free of charge and offering employment to many.
Will that day EVER come? JAH knows...
