[Sammuelle]

I am an African-American female whose parents are from the South and have ancestors who were slaves. I feel that African Americans might as well forget about reparations, since this country was, is and will always be money-hungry. In other words, money is power, and he who has the most of it “wins.” There is no way America will give a large group of people of color any money for its sins; that would make people of color a bit more “powerful.” When you have racially based hate crimes against people of color committed by the “authority” – cops, for example – or “lynching style” crimes – the Jasper, Texas, dragging death – and blatant and subtle racist procedures installed in almost every crevice of society, in the year 1999 it really doesn’t matter that slavery happened so long ago. That is because the effects of it have shaped the structure of society and the minds of its victims. There will be no reparations; that would be too dangerous to the powers that be, and “they” know that.
