I’m alive! I exist! If your ancestors stole from mine they stole from me! If we did it today we would suffer and be held accountable. IDC if the government gives every descendant what was was taken from their ancestors it’s fine. Y’all just do the same thing your ancestors did uphold right just because YOU feel like it’s right. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.

And you can validate that how? My great grandfather was not a slave but that doesn’t mean his great grandfather wasn’t! YOU DON’T KNOW IS MY POINT; BUT MORE THAN LIKELY YOU DO!

William lets not deflect the truth and make it about whites. This article is about how black farmers lost( but it was taken/stolen from them) 90% of their land. They were thieves!

In addition to the money Black farmers received from the settlement with the federal government, I think some land should have been given to the ones who lost their land because racist USDA offices across the country refused to make operational loans to Black farmers, causing many to lose their land.

Not being disrespectful, it seems to be a general lack of understanding of black history in American and the explosive social dynamics that existed then and today.
