WHY I BELIEVE IN SOME FORM OF REPARATIONS
I believe whatever is revealed that comes from scripture......not from a political sense, but from a biblical sense.

In Exodus 12:33-36, The children of Israel, on their way out of 400 years of slavery, God directed them to request from their neighbors, silver, Gold, etc...and gave them favor to receive the wealth of Egypt....He gave them the reparations of 400 years worth of wages for free labor in ONE night.

I believe in reparations for the ancestors of former slaves because God didn't send Israel out of slavery empty handed.  Our African-American forefathers were released from hundreds of years of slavery EMPTY HANDED. This is why I believe in reparations from the BIBLE, not from a political vantage point, but from a biblical standpoint, which is different from what is being promoted in liberal policies today.

It wasn't until 1963 and the Civil rights bill that we began to be given the freedoms and rights as full citizens...all the way from 1863...And while God has graced us America has never really acknowledged or made any attempt to compensate the descendants of the slaves for all the inequities of these hundreds of years since the declaration of Independence declared us ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL.

I don't believe this discussion should be a political football tossed around...

The discussion of reparations is not a discussion that should be attributed to White people owing Black people money, but of AMERICA, a nation that was built upon the backs of Slaves, acknowledging that it never compensated her slaves or their descendants for raping them from their land, with millions never surviving the journey through the middle passage and being thrown overboard or jumping into the sea.

Then being bought and sold as property, taken and forced into uncompensated labor, being considered as property, not people, raping their women, tearing apart their families, keeping them from learning and providing for their own survival and well-being for hundreds of years, producing generations of thing-oriented human beings, then releasing these brain washed ancestors of ours, only after she (America), was forced to do so, by the outcry of the decency and human sentiment of the few abolitionists, and eventually a whole army of northern soldiers, eventually emancipating...
