Reconciliation And Reparations

I was assisted in posting this rant by a bottle of Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon 2018. A Colchagua Valley Chile Dry Red. Elegant. Serious. Full bodied. Complex structure. Leading in with strong blackberries, and currants. A dry sustain of dark cherries, spice, and chocolate. Going out with faint cherries, elderberries, and coffee. Moderate acidity. Smooth but mild tannins. Long – crisp finish.

“Justice requires not only the ceasing and desisting of injustice but also requires either punishment or reparation for injuries and damages inflicted for prior wrongdoing. The essence of justice is the redistribution of gains earned through the perpetuation of injustice. If restitution is not made and reparations not instituted to compensate for prior injustices, those injustices are in fact rewarded.

And the benefits such rewards conferred on the perpetrators of injustice will continue to ‘draw interest,’ to be reinvested, and to be passed on to their children, who will use their inherited advantages to continue to exploit the children of the victims of the injustices of their ancestors. Consequently, injustice and inequality will be maintained across the generations as will their deleterious social, economic, and political outcomes.”

Dr. Amos Wilson

This is a me talking to myself in the mirror rant. Look – I already told you guys that I have mental issues on the “About” page in this blog. I needed to let this one out in print. Yeah, I’m a little all over the place. I’m an old motherfucker. But fuck the nitpickers and armchair editors and critics. That’s what rants are for.

I. Apology And Reconciliation

Apology?

I understand the legal necessity for an official apology. I get it. And we should get it. When I say: “No apologies needed.” I’m talking about that dry-handed, uneasy-feeling, wide-smiled, back-slapping, insincere; you know, Joe Biden type shit. The government doesn’t want to do it anyway. So don’t force it. But we still need that legal apology on paper. OK? No monuments needed. No handshakes needed. No kumbaya moments needed. No “We Shall Overcome” singing needed. None. No “friendship breakfasts” needed. No hand holding needed. Now, if we must do the apology for legal purposes, let’s do it. Ain’t no fucking friendship motherfuckers.

Just pay the debt.

No “Truth And Reconciliation Commission” needed. That’s church shit, and this ain’t church. This is BUSINESS. White people will turn upside down and redo any truth expended by Black people anyway. That’s what they do. A waste of time. As far as I can see, there is not any “conciliation” available to be re-upped. All our reparational demands should be expended with NO CONSIDERATIONS as to how others outside of the Freedmen community feel. “Feel” what? How did lynching “feel” motherfucker? OK? Dogs. Fire hoses. Nightsticks. Tell me about that shit.

There is a clear trajectory from actual slavery then. To actual slavery now.

Everybody that has studiously studied this issue knows that $100 trillion, or more over time is the right number. No more “studies” or “conferences.” It’s check time. Let us get this deal over with. Music. I’m listening to Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet” while I drink my wine and write this shit. A Great fucking album.

II. Akatas And Divisiveness

Reparations has nothing to do with addressing racism, or “healing.” Or eliminating any form of racial animus. Or being concerned about any potential divisiveness. OK? We did have a certain “unity” at one time. When they had our carcasses tied to a plantation with them for 400 years. When they were whipping us with a real whip every afternoon. When they put their whole foot up our asses on a daily basis. When they were raping Black women in the slave quarters on a nightly basis.

After our so-called emancipation; a great enclosing wall was built that stopped our forward movement and mitigated life-quality at every angle. The South wall was “segregation” – the North wall was “redlining.” “Jim Crow” was at the East wall – and “lynching” was hung on the West wall (no pun intended). They forced that powerful construction. And we couldn’t get out. Isn’t it stunning that the same discriminating collective that built that thick wall, then perfected the deep science of segregation, is now voicing “concern” regarding some “divisiveness” issues at check time? Feasibility flags? “Who” queries? We getting some whiteness now?

Get the fuck outta here.

As an aside: If you have ever closely studied lynching photography, did you see any inkling of “unity” between the lynchers and the lynched? Nope. Divisiveness was OK then. Lynching was one accomplishment of a supreme American good.

Africans and Caribbeans were not here when they were putting fire hoses and dogs on our “Akata” grandparents. They did not have to face the fucking Ku Klux Klan. Never saw no evidence of Nigerian sharecroppers. Never heard of any Haitians being lynched in America. That was just us “Akatas” putting in that resistance, that fight, that work. A deliberate Black counterpoint to racism-white supremacy.

We did not run from our country. Like the way all immigrants Black, white, Asian, and Brown ran from theirs. We are not the immigrants. We stood our ground and fought as the racial epicenter of this dirty American bitch. Right Here. Our Money. You have “Akata” Booker T. Washington stopping the “African Exclusion Measure of 1915.” For Africans. You have “Akatas,” in 1965 coming forward and advocating for positive Caribbean immigration reforms. For Caribbeans. You have “Akatas” absorbing all the abuse and death from merciless white resistance. So that ALL the Black Diaspora may enter THIS America, walk equally in THIS country, as upright human beings. Notice Immigrants: “Akatas” are beautifully fair-minded people.

“Akatas” did all this shit for YOU motherfuckers. And YOU now come here to tow that evil color line? To speak on behalf of racism-white supremacy? To insult our faces like WE ain’t shit? To undermine our justice? To push American Freedmen aside and assume rights to American Reparational entitlements based on melanin? A specific domestic deprivation equaling a worldwide Pan African distribution?

I Don’t Think So.

Example of an “Akata” at work:

“The African Exclusion Measure: The completion of the Panama Canal in November of 1914 provoked a measure injected into the large Immigration Bill of 1915. The United States would systematically exclude any and all persons of the “African or Black race” from the United States hereafter and place them in the same category as criminals and undesirables attempting to gain entry into the country.

Ironically enough, although named the “African Exclusion Measure.” The language in the bill was designed to target the African/ Black population immigrating from the Caribbean, Central, and South America, not the continent of Africa per se. Having used African/Black laborers to complete the Panama Canal, the United States intended to send a clear message on the issue of immigration.

By this time, in the last year of his life; Booker T. Washington was in full political bloom and the combination of his Pan African consciousness, his aggressive campaign in the Black Press and his effective use of the Tuskegee Machine; allowed for defeat of the measure within a week. Washington’s intervention in this case of the African Exclusion Measure had a direct impact on policies targeting the African/Black population and the demographic composition of the African population within the United States forever.”

Excerpt from the Booker T. Washington And Africa Website

After all that work: “Akata?”

Now that we have clarified ourselves, this “informed” Diaspora is spitting in our faces. Those motherfuckers are dirtier than shit. Drawing appeasatory political lines through greasy criticisms. Doing global social media disparagement. Asking stupid feasability questions. Expending obstrustionist talking points. Propagating off-subject Pan African fantasytalk. And openly concurring with racism-white supremacy against our demand. They claim to be worried about “divisiveness” issues regarding a relationship that has never been unified in the first place?

There is No Unity – No Parity in Pan Africanism. Let’s Be Clear.

No African ever sent an escape ship. No Diasporan ever sent us a fucking quarter. No Caribbean ever sent so much as a motherfucking coconut. Do you understand Family? We then have a grift-enabling NAARC* in this bitch. A Dr. Ron Daniels, insisting that the unexpended dividends accrued from that mean, wholly isolated, encapsulated pain HERE; unrelentingly suffered through our 400-plus-year-long abused American lineage HERE; is somehow “owed” to Africans and Caribbeans?

Explain that shit to me.

How does a domestic ass-whupping transmute into international recompense?

Explain THAT SHIT to me.

III. Justice And Friendship

Let me make this shit clear. Reparations are not a solution to the racial divide in America. That is not the purpose for Reparations and cannot BE the purpose. Just like insurance companies are not the solution to traffic accidents. The conditional complexes that cause accidents have to be addressed within disciplines that have nothing to do with insurance. This is coon diversionism. Do you understand?

Insurance is there to monetarily compensate victims as far as possible, FOR the damage and suffering created FROM accidents. That’s It. Reparations AND racial reconciliation are two separate things. To be discussed in two separate rooms. At two separate times. On two different planets. Let’s keep this Reparations issue a clean, clear and straightforward argument. (!) Do the money first motherfuckers.

The purpose of Reparations is to rightfully address in substance plus interest, the well known effects of centuries of government established, promoted, and abetted criminal abuse and deprivation of Black people in this country. As far as monetarily possible. NOT to improve any race relations. This is about dollars. This is about economics. This is about a major financial reset. Not friendship. Race relations? Not the time or place to change the subject. Not the time to absorb offsetting opinions.

We can do coffee later.

Reparations demands are totally independent of how Blacks and whites “feel” about each other. Fuck That. Anyone that tries to make that “divisive” stuff part of the conversation is full of shit. When Reparations does happen, the white folks that hate us now will hate us more. Believe that shit. And the white liberals that don’t overtly reveal any racial animus at present, will start showing some teeth. Watch those liberals. That is just a fact. Don’t forget the bullets. ‘Cause they got um’.

They were mad when we demanded our voting rights. Correct? They were angry when the law enforced open seating on public transportation. Correct? They were irate when the law allowed us to take a piss in any public toilet we wanted. Is That Correct? They were inflamed to the core when slavery legally ended. Correct?

Northerners AND Southerners.

So why shouldn’t they be furious about some niggers rightfully receiving in justice, in rightful repair, a few extra dollars from an indisputably guilty and hypocritical government? Expect that. That only makes sense. Understand that 97.9% of white people do not want racism-white supremacy to end. Especially white liberals. No justice for niggers. And when we do get Reparations, they only want us to get those reparational resources on THEIR terms. Expended with THEIR oversight. Making sure that we get as little as possible. And to do as little constructive with whatever we get as possible. Especially white liberals. Understand that. We also have those that are afraid white folks might start shooting if we get Reparations? OK?

Ahh… They’re shooting now aren’t they? I mean look: If you’re gonna take a cap in the ass anyway – wouldn’t it be easier to take with money, than without it? Ouch! And with money? Can’t we buy some guns and some training? Just Asking…

IV. Symbolism And Shit

Nobody should be insulting us with any “symbolism” talk. NONE. And we need to keep a sharp eye on paid Black preachers. I believe that Christianity itself is a part of the racism-white supremacy power structure (that’s another conversation). OK? Black preachers (not all), are generally opposed to true Black empowerment. They prefer us to keep our eyes up, cloud-watching for Jesus. Black empowerment in any realm is not profitable to the Black church. Observe This. Look at how some Black preachers will speak affirmatively on Reparations. But will always move to take the cash payments aspect off the table. OR – speak on including others in our claim.

Watch.

At the same time, if it is effectively pushed; those same fucking preachers will simultaneously suggest ways to institutionalize any potential cash expenditures. You Know? So they can “officially” run it. So they can “unofficially” pocket it. (“A new jet for reparations ‘work’ Pastor?”) This is the same sneaky-assed shit that NAARC and N’COBRA* is trying to pull with their “National Reparations Trust Authority”* bullshit. “Institutionalization” enables “officials” and “experts” to steal legally right in front of you; with lavish salaries, juicy commissions, grand theft-level expenses, plush retreats, luxury conferences, and lucrative contracts given to friends, Caribbeans, Green Carders, politicians, and others that “play ball.”

Then they give you a “report.”

This Biblically approved and regulated slavery atrocity itself, the slave trade, the Southern Jim Crow, Northern Jim Crow, lynching, discriminatory practices, racist systematics, unjust preferences, and all the deprivative tricknologies done against us? Those were not “symbolic” at all. OK? Therefore, a Reparations Act should be completely real, concrete, substantial, see-able, touch-able, feel-able, and cash-able.

Every motherfucking “apology” from the government, or white-run institutions, or any individual guilt-filled white person should have a check attached to it. I mean every fucking “apology” Man. Yep. We can set up a donatable “National Apology Fund” – tonight. A website – bank account – staff – we got the people. Let’s do it.

One of the power “assignments” from the power structure for Black preachers to accomplish is to “transcendentalize” any serious stuff like Reparations that we are trying to get or do. They know Blacks are susceptible to this kind of metaphysical bullshit. They do this, instead of helping us to keep our eyes straight ahead and our feet on the ground. You know. So we can effectively secure what’s owed, and do the BUSINESS needed to be done. (!) Those motherfuckers take us Up – Up – Up.

To Jesus Niggers! They always take us “Higher.”

At that point, the conversation changes from transitional justice to Jesus. From Jesus to symbolism. From symbolism to no money. Is an “AMEN” appropriate here? “Spirituality” ain’t needed. This is Business. The question of Reparation demands that we not allow racism-white supremacy or its tools to take our minds off of accomplishing our concrete, moneyfied, and on-the-ground business goals through their heaven-assigned proxies. Also known as the Black clergy.

Substantive settlements at the local and state levels could provide some redress for law enforcement abetted pogroms like Tulsa, Rosewood, Elaine, etc. But these local-based settlements are secondary in importance to Federal-level Reparations. To be clear in your own minds – any locally expended settlements and expanded equity fairness in cities and states is not Reparations. Nor should they be labelled as such.

This “Local Reparations” concept, to be clear and truthful, was created to dissipate and then to finally destroy the Federal Demand for Reparations. This creation was a poisonously collaborative effort by the Democratic Party, The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis, and particularly interested and organized elements within the Untouchable community. This Axis tricknology was originally spearheaded by FirstRepair* of Evanston. A NAARC conceptualized entity. To be clear. And that newly-created “Reparations United”* (this organization is a component of “The Axis”) does not exist to “unify the nor any Reparations movement.” (!!!) It only exists to destroy it.

Despite the competent and sincere efforts that were accomplished by the landmark California Reparations Task Force; my position on Local vs Federal Reparations still stands: Reparations for the American Freedmen is properly a Federal project. Why? Because that’s where the fundamental culpability lies – and that’s where the real money is. Local efforts may be restitutional – but are definitely NOT Reparational.

Aside: Reparations cannot be accomplished through lawsuits. It’s about legislation.

V. Other Possibilities?

Reparations could provide some historic redress nationwide for the legally abetted heterosexual and homosexual rape by white predators on free and enslaved Blacks. Reparations could also provide some overdue historic redress for the ugly beatings, robberies, executions, murders, labor extractions, sexual molestations, and rapes of free and enslaved Black children by sexually entitled white men. We will see.

VI. Whataboutisms

Even if Foundational Black Americans did well economically after slavery; without Reparations. Listen. Even if the descendants of American Freedmen were the most prosperous minority group in America right now; without Reparations. Listen Family. That in no way would invalidate or mitigate the rightness or validity of any claims for Reparations. In-group economic and/or net-worth disaggregations are not appropriate here. The legal demand for Reparations is totally independent of our singular and/or collective economic conditions in the present. Listen. At the same time, as a people, our general economic conditions in the present are in their current deplorable state, partly because we never received Reparations. See?

The uniquely precise demand for our Foundational Black American Reparations is also totally independent of the various discussions, complaints, and compensatory demands of other ethnic and racial groups that have been wronged. See? No other group should be part of THAT “conversation.” That needed conversation between us Foundational Black Americans – and our fucking government. Understand? Our case is unique and separate. Unique and Separate. Unique and SEPARATE.

We are not in any way could be, should be, or will be “linked” to anybody else’s shit. Nobody. Where did they get the nerve to offer this disrespectful idea? I know, but we won’t go into that now. It is important for all serious Foundational Black American Reparationists to finely UNPACK and destroy this kind of corrupting “diversity” in their faces, where they stand, where they speak, wherever they piss. That’s Right. Don’t even let those motherfuckers piss in peace. The fuck outta here.

Whenever and wherever inconsiderate bitches attempt to place a Foundational Black American Reparations dialogue into a what-about-ism “melting pot” – Stop There. Understand? Ask this to the bitches: “I look like a carrot to you? We ain’t cooking. What About – My Ass!” That “melting pot” shit ain’t our conversation. And this especially includes the motherfucking Pan Africans. Always including these African and Caribbean aliens in our shit. OK? Putting us Foundational Black Americans into an international “Black Pot.” OK? I don’t care how “Black” those motherfuckers are “supposed” to be. Now, to be fair, those niggers don’t mix us in with the Latinx’s or American Indians. But they might in the future. Who knows?

Give credit where credit is due. OK? Even those bastards deserve credit.

But those fuckers will attempt to transmute a wholly American in-house effected Foundational Black American enslavement, rape, injury, and deprivation into an undifferentiated worldwide Diasporan Reparations distribution. Unbelievable.

Flame all the motherfuckers.

When was the last time you’ve seen Foundational Black American type people impositively inserting themselves between somebody else’s shit and the or their government? Never. And that is because we actually RESPECT others. But others don’t fucking respect us. We respect their rights and sovereignties as grown people to negotiate their own problems and contentions with the or their government, without any unwelcome and unsolicited inputs or impositions from Freedmen.

Right? – But:

Everybody that ain’t us is suddenly “suggesting” shit. Saying what they “think” shit should and shouldn’t “look like.” Or offering “educated” pontifications on what others should or shouldn’t get. Scholarly papers written by Untouchable doctorate holders saying: “No To Niggers.” Unsolicited Arrogance; regarding an issue that ain’t got a motherfucking thing to do with THEM. Incredible people.

I do wish others had the same basic respect for us and our business.

“Concerned” sonofabitches really need to back the fuck off.

We will always understand that Jewish, American Indian, and Japanese American Reparations issues with the government are none of our fucking business. NOT. And if we attempted to enter the rooms where others are discussing their business with the government; they would be well within their rights to tell us to: “Get the fuck outta here motherfucker. Find some business!” SLAM!!! You See?

That’s why you have never heard any American Freedman break breath, raise a Black hand, or mobilize a pen to opine yay or nay in those “none-of-your-fucking-business” type conversations. Right? We Leave. We respectfully leave others to their own Family business. (!) And we stay out. At the same time, supporting the rights of others to make and agitate their own demands. As grown people should.

I implore other groups to have the same respect for us and our contentions with the government that we always extend to them. Others? Lend your distant support for our justice claims. Like we do with others. And with multi-ethnic support – I would hope others that do support will respectfully allow us to shape our own arguments and demands. Express our own pains. And to express those pains in our own way. Without opinionated interruptions. Like we respectfully do in support with others.

Stop placing us with American Indians. They used to own us. Google it.

This is a word to all those “diversity” minded folks. Foundational Black American people will not be caught up THIS TIME in any ignorant, obfuscating, deflectivist, and all inappropriately inclusive “what-about-isms.” Hell NO. OR any other time wasting conversations regarding any of the destructive things that white folks and the government have done to other groups. OK? All other groups must “hold their own nuts,” so to speak. All those other groups are composed of grown people. And as grown people they must take FULL RESPONSIBILTY in agitating against and advocating opposite to racism-white supremacy. They got fire hoses for them too?

It is not the responsibility of Foundational Black Americans to tend to other folks’ business. They business is they business. Our business is our business. And don’t let them lay they shit on us. NO. We will not do the heavy lifting for others. Those daily, nasty, burdensome, sweaty, laborious, and unappreciated times are over.

VII. Pan-Africans Can Fuck Off

All improper Black Nationalists and Pan African motherfuckers can stay the fuck away from me if they are not thinking past their well-educated ignorance, and articulating Reparations to me in the proper Foundational Black American way. OK? If you are not gonna be honest about the role of Africans in the slave trade? Fuck Off Please. If you are not going to admit that our cultural and psychological connection to Africa was commercially severed 400 years ago by the dealings of African royalty and African slave traders with their European and Arab clients?

Fuck Off.

Miss Me with that “kidnapping” shit. That’s “blackwashing” history.

It was a “Slave Trade” motherfucker. We were SOLD.

If you are not gonna stop that “brother and sister” bullshit in reference to us and Africans – because we are not brothers and sisters? Fuck Off. We don’t need any Pan African whatsoever “re-connections” or libation pouring. I assure you. It ain’t happening here. Save your liquor. It ain’t happening between Africans over there. It ain’t happening between Caribbeans down there. It ain’t happening between Diasporans out there. How the fuck is that gonna happen Over Here? “Unity?”

Ain’t no “Unity.”

How in the fuck you gonna put responsibility for Diasporan unification on me?

Niggers. Always trying to take our minds off our American business and directing our Black attentions towards Egypt. “Egypt?” Fuck You. A totally unproductive distraction. Hotep type motherfuckers always trying to tell me to change my name: “That’s a slave name Man.” Damned right it is. I ain’t changing shit. Our NAMES – Johnson, Robinson, Washington, Smith, etc. are the walking, talking, generation to generation existing, night and day reminders, of a cash deprived wealth gap.

Here We Are!!!

Yes motherfuckers. Those slave names are markers. The obvious historic remains of systemic deprivation. Loudly indicative of the owed but undistributed dividends created from a four-hundred-year-long forced investment. So loud, that some white folks don’t like being around us. I don’t blame the motherfuckers. We too loud.

Yes Loud. Can’t help that. Can’t stop that. Can’t turn that down Man. Our NAMES
autonomically function with and simultaneously precede our bodies. (!) Informing within all the spaces and times we enter, as empowered past due notices. When we leave all those sweet spaces and times – the full guilt remains. There it is. (!) Notices in name that are collectively attached to an astronomically expensive invoice. Due! And of those that need to act in fact upon satisfying that overdue notice demand? They know what the fuck they’re looking at. Those folks see every-fucking-body.

And they know who every-fucking-body is:

There’s One. There’s Another One. And That One Over There. All those past-due bills and the possible calls, and the possible letters, and all the possible subpoenas that come with them are irritating as fuck. I know. But the interest on that demand is compounding quickly. Those that know are reminded decade after decade, that they need to act quickly and affirmatively. It’s HOT. Oh – and They WILL stop blowing this shit off. Call MY name motherfucker. I ain’t fucking changing shit.

I’m the Invoice. Time to Pay.

Look Pan Africans: Foundational Black American people will never assent to your Afro-fantasytalk or Diasporan fetishism. Ain’t gonna be no psychological, cultural, or political redirection from America. Not this time. The daishikis have been sent to Goodwill. Gone. Our memberships in NAARC and N’COBRA have been cancelled. We don’t need or want no Diasporan validation. American Freedmen-ism equals politically and economically validating ourselves. Our minds and energy will not be re-projected across the Atlantic to nowhere. To confusion. To absolute nothing.

Not This Time Motherfuckers.

We are asserting our shared ownership of America. Reclaiming our profound and expansive “American-ness.” Right Here. We are demanding our share of the return on that American investment. Here. If YOU want to “return” to Africa? Go. I’ll see you off. It is because of the prodigious involuntary expenditures we’ve made here that I assert “First Among Equals” ownership status RIGHT HERE in America.

Can’t do that in Africa.

I am not voluntarily leaving my portion of generationally produced profits and a 1619 initially forced investment compounding further into the pockets and estates of Twenty-First Century white folks. Why should I? Why should you? And Brother – I am not sharing one motherfucking dime of American Descendants Of Chattel Slavery Reparations resources with African and Caribbean chiselers. Fuck That.

Repatriation? I ain’t left shit in Africa but a headache.

VIII. Reparations Politics

Even though Reparations must be accomplished through politics; Reparations in itself is not politics folks. Reparations is a non-negotiable economic infrastructure demand that is justified, was promised, but never put in place. Plus interest. This is BUSINESS to be accomplished through politics people. And we don’t have to be nice about it. Getting it? Legislators are either for us or against us. We know what to do with politician type motherfuckers that move against us. Right?

We don’t need preachers offering up moral mumblings or Biblical invocations or “divine guidance” to do this. Family. This is Business. Not Church.

Now – there are some things regarding government that ARE political, and some things that are not. Like our water and highway systems. The planning, building, and maintenance of those infrastructural necessities are the responsibility of the government. But the question itself of getting those systems planned, built, and running is not a political one. They HAVE TO get done. The politics, if any, isn’t about figuring out HOW to get those things done. The politics is about WHOM is going to be put in place to do it. And how much it will cost. And what might have to be cut to get it done. That’s the politics. It is the same case with Reparations. We must be politically motivated, strategic, educated, and wise at the same time.

Let’s get this done Family. Our futures depend on it.

Reparations is NOT Politics. Reparations is NOT Race Relations. Reparations is definitely NOT regarding Reconciliation. Reparations is the justified, demanded, and justified recompense from a taken Economic Infrastructure. Accomplished.

NAARC = “National African American Reparations Commission.” Governing entity for The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis. Everything is conceived, planned and ran from here. A grant-grab coordinating operation headed by Dr. Ron Daniels. Pan African presenting. This entity is filled with doctorate holders and lawyers that are not Foundational Black Americans. Folks from the Caribbean and Africa fill its ranks. Tight associations with white liberal and Untouchable financial backers like the MacArthur Foundation among others that are actually against Reparations. Dangerous to the movement. Strongly connected to the Democratic Party.

N’COBRA = “National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America.” A Pan African presenting “Reparations” organization. A grant-grab operation formerly headed by Kamm Howard (He is now president of “Reparations United” – another fine grant-grab organization). Check this Wikipedia excerpt: “Since at least 2017, N’COBRA has advocated for reparations compensation to be in the form of community rehabilitation and not payments to individual descendants of slavery.” That means advocating NO MONEY for you. And this “community rehabilitation” bullshit whatever on top of that should be managed by them? I don’t think so.

FirstRepair = A NAARC conceptualized entity. A part of The Axis. Headed by Robin Rue Simmons (a former city official in Evanston Illinois). This organization was the first to pull off the “Local Reparations” trick bag in the City of Evanston. Ms. Simmons flies around the country selling dead-end “advice” regarding “local reparations” programs to municipalities and states. It is financially supported by the Untouchable community and the Democratic Party. The “local reparations” program she started in Evanston is falling apart both socially and legally.

Reparations United = A new addition to The Axis headed by Kamm Howard. Heavily connected to the Democratic Party. They are part of the Democrats “Black voter recovery program.” Its other function is to interrupt and disrupt any real Reparations efforts done by sincere grassroots individuals and groups. “Uniting” the Reparations movement? Please. Expect to hear more from them in the future.
