    Reparations without a check for every black person would be incomplete and unacceptable.
    Giving money only to organizations and agencies whom supposedly will help improve education and such isn't suitable and really only funds the top.
    Individual payments should be included.

    As a black man you must know your hertiage. Research it and get to know your families roots. Remember slavery has been around along time ever since African chiefs sold their people to the salvery market. You must get educated and stop depending on other people to give you. God created you in his image. Stop blaming white people and turn to God remember your strength is in your faith when you trust God. Mentor Melvin Lightford

    Native American Indians have treaty agreements that have expired and some still have to expire before full assistance and help can be given to them. People have to remember those treaty agreements be for hundreds of years and some perpetual years which means those are the type that do not end. It really depends on the wording of those treaty agreements long ago and how they are interpreted now in the legal system. People forget it costs a lot of money and you need a lot of signatures to get those cases into courts of law for review and reintepretations. It is also a very lengthy process ...and they need a lot of money to scoot around the sometimes deliberate delays and also look how often Washington DC changes hands in Elections. In many cases they need Legislative and Congressional support which means for very lengthy cases they need ELECTED POLITICIANS on their side to stay in office.
