Where have you been?
There are hella people taking this shit seriously.
Were politicians discussing reparations in 2016, 2012, and so on?
In my adult life, this has been the most that reparations have ever been discussed.
I agree. We're living in the second gilded age right now and a lot of politicians are trying to break, or at least crack, corporations the same way they did 100 years ago. Since many of these corporations and their predecessors made their money off of slave labor it's only right that they should have to give slave descendants the unpaid wages their ancestors earned.
