Anyways, I think reparations should be paid because it would increase the overall knowledge in people about what happened and what's still going on today. But even more then that, I think that we as a people don't have a history like all the other people do. I mean it's like, "For 200 years, niggas was slaves, sang, a couple were smart and they picked cotton." But for that whole period of time all other people had their history still going on and advancing as a people. Then, when the slaves were freed, they were still never seen as equal because they never had that whole time to advance socially. It carried on and you still see the effects today, we were never really a part of society but are still treated like we should be up to the standards.

If that made sense. =/
