and just sum FYI... blacks wouldnt be the 1st to recieve reparations. Jappanese americans have, Koreans, Native Americans, South Africans, Jews and at least 10 different body of peoples.

a white kid told me today that Blacks in the US are among the highest paid people of African Descent. and that he should be happy with the way we are living now. so thats why we dont need repararions...

but when i asked him to compare the cost of living in america to the cost of liveing in other countries he couldnt do that. but in saying that, It costs 5x as much to live in the US as it does in other countries, so the standard of living isnt "much" different. Noted that sum african couontries like Rowanda are WAAAAY worse off than the grimest hoods of the US but thats an exception to the rule.... but even still the residual effects of slavery are omnipresent in almost all facets of life in the US and Africa.

I'll start to talk about the Wealth Gap between african americans and european ameicans later...
