Our grandparents were the ones who suffered from the segregation and abuse so they know first hand that the ‘white man’ is not going to give any kind of reparation so they think that it is foolish to ask. That does not change the fact that they were robbed of their assets and forced to live in certain areas. I am only 20 years old and I can tell you about some discrimination that I have suffered. It was just 3 years ago that 2 white white men tied a black man to a truck and drove until his mangled body parts fell off and that a resturant in Florida only seviced white people. Discrimination is alive and well. Reparations will not change what happened but it will give us back what is rightfully ours. If I stole the only thing that you owned you would still miss it 50 years later and if your grandchildren are decent they would want justice for you.
