Specific tribes who were in it heavy gotta cop to it in my opinion. The present nations weren't around back then, but some of these tribes were. That said, the conversation is a purely 100 percent internal one. White folks have NO say about it and if any bring it up I tell them, that's an internal issue that has zero to do with you. And if you bring it up in the reparations conversation, we will shut it down. If my car gets hit by you but it was also hit by another person at another time but I only bring you to court, in the eyes of the law, "He hit you too so I don't have to pay until he does' Doesn't fly in court.Who is culpable and if there should be any remedy is secondary to the present reparations fight. I also would be against using someone's tribal history of slavery to disqualify that person as an ally. You already know a few negroes will because they are on some other ish (sense of power, etc). Allies are an individual basis. If you are going to use the 'sins of the father' excuse then any one who is B1 whether FBA or non FBA, whose daddy was an ex-con who committed a crime against a Black person. Or that ex con himself,is also disqualified as an ally.
