    We all want reparations.
    We all deserve reparations
    We are all owed reparations.

    However in the meantime there are no excuses for not circumventing the system and making the best of a bad situation!

    If one is not building with other Black people NOW they won't be doing it if we get Reparations either.

    For me reparations will just give me opportunity that wasn't there or not as accessible before.
    That's why the dominant society is so far ahead. They have easier access, opportunity is just given. We have to work twice as hard to get half as much most of the time.

    I concur. I do not trust anyone who believes that Reparations is going to be a magic pill that falls out the sky and rights the wrongs. Reparations will only lighten the load but not remove it.

    The idea is to already have something going and then build on top of that!
    It's easier to finish building something that's already started than to start building it from nothing.

    If you're waiting for out right unity we'll never get that. We have to recognize that all of us won't unify but the people who are willing to will be the ones to make the difference. ✊🏿

    There will never be outright unity ever the gold standard will be cooperation and collaboration based on common interest and ideology.

    There will be multiple competing groups at all times and the goal is for them to all bare fruit. The ones that cannot bare fruit can die off but the ones that do need to be able to collaborate around common interests aka Black self-sufficiency etc when need.

    But outside of those times where we need to stick together we should be competing to be the best in whatever we do.

    Fully agree. I will add some might become big headed after reparations and think they don't need Black folks and run off to other groups.

    Because people don’t want to set aside petty minor differences and focus on the core critical issues.

    Every time I see this message (in whatever form) I wonder why I am seeing this message. Guilt. Lack mentality. No matter how much I'm doing it's going to appear to me as not being enough.
