After 246 Years of Slavery, What Could Reparations Look Like Today? | KQED News

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2023
- As the debate around reparations intensified in California, members of the Black community stepped forward to share their perspective on what should be done to address systemic racism. In the final episode of our series on reparations, we learn how citizens in other states have held organizations and communities accountable for past wrongs. The video is a look at how reparations can be accomplished. And now that the California Reparations Task Force has delivered its landmark 1,200-page report with 115 recommendations for reparative measures, it will be up to the state legislature - and pressure from community organizers - to keep the momentum moving toward restitution.

Reparation "could" look like picking up some money at the US consulate in Ghana after officially renouncing US citizenship.
Exactly. I'll be glad to fund that exodus.
Did Ghana exist during the Transatlantic era? 🤔 At least act like you have a IQ
@@riaa8689 Ghana has been seeking American blacks: “We continue to open our arms and invite all our brothers and sisters home. Ghana is your home. Africa is your home." So said Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, Ghana's minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture. "Please take advantage, come home, build a life in Ghana. You do not have to stay where you are not wanted forever, you have a choice and Africa is waiting for you.”
Apparently you aren't well informed.
@@donjindra I'm not Ghanaian. You move to Ghana.
@@riaa8689 I didn't suggest you move to Ghana if you're an American like me. But to those who feel this country did them wrong and demand reparations, I say they should move to wherever their ancestors came from. That goes for anyone, no matter what continent or race.
Don't worry about how black people will spend the money that is owed to them. No one gave a damn when we worked for free.
When did you "work for free" exactly?
No one is worrying about it except you. It won’t happen.
Ditto on the two previous comments!
Well nothing is owed, so ok.
My great, great, great, great grandfather died at the battle of Shiloh. I want reparations. He was 26 years old his wife had a baby that he never met.
The US owes us for 89 years. Britain owes the balance. You got to know how to speak their language.
Britain spent billions to end slavery actually. We owe you nothing and you will never get anything out of us! Do you know what year Ethiopia abolished slavery that included white people? No? Didn't think so!
"us"?
how many people do you think you are?
Just read article about a White man in California who was able to retire at 46 after buying a home for a $1 down payment in Northern California!
wow....how impressive.
@@consv That's not impressive. What would be impressive, if they did the thing for descendents of Slaves and Freedman!
A black person could have done that too
How about you post the link ?
What does that have to do with reparations? You talk nonsense.
Nobody has ever done anything for centuries.
From 1619 to 1865 is 246 years
Math Skills $$$$
wow!
how old ARE you?
Where is the 246 years of slavery 1776-1865 is 89 years. So where does the 246 years come from ?
Black enslavement starred in 1619 - Jameson, Virgina colony. Look it up...
REALLY old people!
Money ❤ just money's 💰
This is still going on the U.S. owes that.
Give the reparations and let ppl do as they please with CASH. Anything other than that is BS. Education, healthcare and other services we can pay for our own. Every single person is different.
The hand outstretched will never stop. The “we need to be respected” comment put a spotlight on what could happen if you give money to people who were not enslaved by people who never enslaved you. It’s nice, but no respect for that.
Reparations are far superior than respect from demons.
Your demons don't respect us ANYWAYS which is why you commented the way you did.
@@negloblaxon7616 IM sorry you feel that way, but I love all people equally which is why I feel the way I do. All discrimination needs to stop against all groups. A hand up is admirable, but handouts across the board,as I indicated, are not. Thanks and God bless.

didn't the slaves get Liberia?
they want to be where there is welfare.
Most slaves didn't go to Liberia because they knew that their ancestors weren't from there.
@@riaa8689 it was land given to them, it had nothing to do with ancestors.
@@tomservo5007 That's why most didn't go. It had nothing to do with their ancestors.
@@riaa8689 Neither does any State have anything to do with their ancestors. Look, the land was given and accepted by some, take it or leave it, no way am I paying for something I didn't take part in.
Uh the US only had slavery for about 70 years. Before that it was England, Spain and France. So ask France, England and Spain for the reparations.
Kamilla Moore ✊🏾
THERE IS NO DEBT.
I'll gladly support some amount of "reparations" provided those who accept it renounce their US citizenship and permanently move back to the lands of their ancestors.
That would make blacks aboriginal to America and Europeans immigrants
@@hoodiebaby4436right 🤣
The same for whites - whites have received numerous handouts for over 400 years, and STILL get welfare today!!!

On behalf of white, Indo-Europeans: I don't care it's not my problem....end of discussion.
If you want to stop racism, stop talking about race . Giving money to people who were never slaves is insane
The insane legacy of slavery is on black people shoulders.Books and movies still talk about slavery and race.
You gave money to other nations that there descendants where not the ones who the injustic happened to.
🙄
That’s like you saying if you want to stop being in credit card debt just stop talking about how you got yourself into the debt. And your debt will disappear because you don’t talk about it anymore.
That’s not how society works. You have inherited Americas assets and now you will inherit her debts.
If you can inherit wealth from your ancestors, you can inherit debt!!! America has a debt owed that they never fulfilled, look up special field orders no. 15.
Reality check: what percentage of people who won the lottery ended up broke, and what percentage of lottery winners invested wisely?
How long would they hold on to the money? Who would end up wealthy?
I was just about to post nearly the same thing..... real world data shows, most people don't have a F'ing clue what to do with money. From lotto winners to rich kids who were born into it squandering the family fortune, if you didn't figure out money and finances either for yourself or through education BEFORE you get money? There is an unbelievably high chance, like 97-98%..... that you will not keep it for very long.
Hitting the lottery is comparable to slavery?
@@hoodiebaby4436 No, hitting the lottery is comparable to getting reparations. He's pointing out that giving people who are bad with their money a bunch of money doesn't actually help them. Never has never will, because they are bad with money.
10-4, but not really an issue... Government has been stealing my money and giving it to somebody else my whole life... Using lies pretense and automatic weapons.... Now they're just going to do it "right in my face"!?!... And for the most ludicrous reasons possible!?? 🤣🤣🤣
@darkgardener9577 Boy, yall can be mad at a debt you owe all you want that's the mentality of the mf in debt to be mad at who they owe trying to get their funds. A large amount of you people where given free land, a large amount of you today receiving stamps and still find yourself in debt today so you definitely would know.
Reparations are just another way of people who have NEVER endured slavery but somehow think they are entitled to a hand out.

Forcing the innocent to pay nonvictims for something that happened to neither of them is not reparations.
Reparations is actual proven victims being compensated by their actual violators.
I don't know of anybody who opposes that.
Go talk to the Jewish, Native American and Japanese first

Nobody gets reparations for being a race or ethnicity.
Study up.
@@michaelpcoffee Lineage based goober
We don’t feel the way you do
@@_starbull7
'We' who?
How many people do you think you are?
Fortunately it's not about feelings.
Reparations 'could' look like actual individuals totalling up the actual material harm they have suffered; and sending the bill to the actual individuals who are proven to have inflicted that harm.
You're going to send a bill to dead people?
You have no argument hahah, can you explain why we are still compensating Native Americans… Those natives died over a 100 yrs ago yet their descendants still receive compensation from the government. You are anti blk face it, I don’t see you in the comments for other races or ppl receiving reparations. We live in your head rent free 😝
@@tonycar831
The United States government is not paying reparations to anybody for being an ethnicity.
You seem to be conflating treaty based international aid with reparations.
A common error.
I don't see you supporting any other race.
BWAHAHAHA!!!!
tell Israel that if you really mean it. I dare you to.
so you would only punish nazis who directly hurt people?
If you guys want money go get it from the black guys who sold you
The way to settle reparations demands is to work out how much a family's entire generations have earned since they were freed and compare it to how much they would have earned in their country of origin if they hadn't been sold into slavery by their own people. If they have earned more than they would have in that country then they have already been reparated. If they would have earned more in their country of origin then pay them the difference and nothing more!
And if whites had never left England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, etc., how much would they have earned?
Wow you would get squat www.google.com/search?q=average+salary+in+africa+per+year&oq=avg+salary+in+Africa+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgBEAAYDRiABDIGCAAQRRg5MgkIARAAGA0YgAQyCQgCEAAYDRiABDIJCAMQABgNGIAEMgoIBBAAGAoYFhgeMggIBRAAGBYYHjIICAYQABgWGB4yCggHEAAYChgWGB4yCAgIEAAYFhgeMggICRAAGBYYHjIICAoQABgWGB7SAQkyNTIxMWowajSoAg6wAgE&client=tablet-android-incar&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
Yes correct and some
I aint paying nothing ! I had nothing to do with it !
yeah ikr lets pay white taxes cuz of our hertitage like :/ get a job mfs
You take on a nation’s assets and it’s debts. No different than a company or if there’s a lien on a home. Don’t want to pay your share in taxes renounce your citizenship and relocate to the country of your family’s origin somewhere in Europe.
Move out of America if you’re anti American!!
@@_starbull7 Yea but this isn't an actual debt...this is a fantasy that racist carry so they don't have to feel bad about being bad with their money.
@@_starbull7 You have lost your moral judgment. This generation owes no debt. In fact, for the past 50 years we have been paying money to try to fix past ills and mostly what we get in return is more hostility and demand for even more help. Time has run out on good intentions. There's no point in squandering our resources on a money pit.
No Reparations no vote
We are the only people that talk about housing and education noother nations was done like this.
Thank God this will never be a thing.
Cheers 🍻
You should put a lower case "g" on whatever god you pray to, because the GOD of the Bible will absolutely avenge His people, and not only will the US pay reparations, but the descendants of the enslavers also have a sin debt to pay.
“For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments” (Deuteronomy 5:9-10).
If you hate the idea of reparations -- which is a debt owed -- for the descendants of enslaved people, you hate justice, and apparently, you hate the GOD that judges righteously. Buckle up.
You can ALWAYS go back to Europe - it's not too late!!
YOU WANNA BET...

Reparations needs to be an Amendment so it would be difficult to overturn!
Good idea, write it into the constitution so it's forever binding
We need a version of HOMESTEADING to obtain land in some combinations with the other suggestions mentioned in this video for remedies of our pain and suffering.

That "dish" is not being served....you'll have to make it on your own like the rest of Americans. If you can't, there's always living rough on the street. Good lick to you.
Mf please making it on our own and roughing it on the streets is all we ever been doing. We only gonna ask for so long before taking it.

I think we should be addressing and settling the injustice suffered by the indigenous people of America first
The Indian population has suffered more and lost more than any other group on this earth, so African think about leaving this continent as a form of restitution to the natives of America.
Reparation means 👉 prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers.
Reparation means 👉 he that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Reparation means 👉 ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are for blood defileth the land, and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. So my poeple to demande for money, housing and other things we think we want as Reparation CAN NOT CLEANSED OUR LAND.
BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO ARE DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES NEED LAND‼️ REPARATIONS MUST INCLUDE LAND SO THAT WE CAN BECOME INDEPENDENT AND RULE OVER OUR OWN LAND, BUILD SCHOOLS, BUILD HOSPITALS, BUILD BANKS, BUILD HOMES, BUILD FACTORIES, ETC, WE MUST MAKE OUR OWN LAWS, AND PROTECT OUR OWN BORDERS!!
