EP3: Chant For Reparations

In this episode, I take a deep dive into the pith of the worst crime against humanity in history, chattel slavery, and make a strong case, lyrically, for reparative justice. Racism fueled chattel slavery then. Racism fueled the atrocities and lynchings of the Jim Crow era. Racism fuels police brutality, and the glaring racial disparities in wealth, homelessness, healthcare, education, access to capital, indictments and incarceration in America, now. Truth be told, America would rather send 100 billion dollars in weapons of mass destruction and aid to Ukraine and Israel, than pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved Africans upon whose backs this nation was built; whose sweat and blood stain its soil and conscience; who served paid the ultimate sacrifice in every American war. Why? Because America doesn't really give a schmuck about black people, except when candidates need our votes or when our sons and daughters are needed to fight a war. So, what are we gonna do about this blatant disrespect and disregard for the 400+ years of crimes committed against our African ancestors with impunity? Are African American voters ready to make REPARATIONS the SINGLE-ISSUE to earn their votes? Listen to my lyrical vent then answer the Q&A and poll. Let's go!!! ..............
