You know what I think will eventually prove to be the crazy part in all this? That non white people (Asians, especially Latinos, Arabs, I'mma count gays as non white)and as we can see many if not most non FBAs will be against reparations more than white people.Why do I say that? White people know deep down its the right thing to do. Non white people are gonna feel 1. They have no historical tie to oppressing us (actually not true but...) so they aren't beholden to FBAs and 2. They know they are the buffer class and hell will freeze over if they have less than most Blacks.I do think that once this starts rolling it can't be stopped. No black American movement that reaches a critical mass point of blacks can ever be denied. The civil rights era taught us that. We don't fully recognize how fast we changed shit. What most people thought would be 100 years (ending Jim Crow) happened in 10 years.And this will be much easier in relation to ending Jim Crow.
