Reparations are not a young black person asking their white next door neighbor to give them money. It is a statement the American government needs to make to say, ‘Yes we have systematically allowed for the mistreatment of a group of people based on the color of their skin and because of this mistreatment this people have suffered great harm. While other nationalities and ethnic groups were given a chance to build wealth to pass along to future generations, this group of people continued to suffer from the racist ways of individuals within hate groups, the government, and the private business sector. Although not everyone is guilty of this behavior, in fact many tried to stop it, but that does not change the fact it has existed in this country for three hundred years while the government allowed it to be perpetuated. Because of this many people belonging to this ethnic group have not been able to overcome poverty and are therefore stuck in a vicious circle where they live in poverty stricken neighborhoods that cannot support a viable business community, leading to an under-funded school system that provide them with an inadequate educate, leading to the inability to obtain decent employment, leading to a life of crime, unstable homes, and a new generation of poverty. In order to combat this problem programs that supports business development and education must be set up and funded to end the cycle.’ There is no simple solution of course, but I do know the government helped create the problem, so it should help resolve it. If America can fund a war and invest money in other countries in the name of democracy, then it can definitely do it at home also.
