Get the Reparations mug.What America owes Black American families for using them to build this country as unpaid labor while being beaten, raped and killed. Similar to the reparations given to Jews and the Japanese after WWII.
It’s pretty jacked up that as soon as freed slaves worked all that land so they could grow crops, President Johnson took their reparations back.

Get the Reparations mug.A movement that seeks to pay the decendents of ameraica slaves money to help make up for the fact that there ancesters were slaves. It is thought that the us is at falt for it because it condoned it. They money wouldn't all be payed out in cash. There would be special college grants for african american students,grants for african americans who want to start businesses ect.
