Reparations are not due ex-slaves or persons of color who were enslaved or the ancestors or such. And, Indians and Irish cannot be compared in any academic research with the degradation afforded the people of color in our America and now permeates the world. The newly created “largest minority”, so called Hispanics, is another media/political hype untrue. Hispanics are made minority by ancestry and language and African Americans are made minority because of skin color black. Do you now see the apples and orange comparison?
Descendants of slaves in America are entitled to reparations only because they were natural born citizens of these United States after 1776, in accordance with the Constitution, and were denied by white mouths, Jim Crow laws and other non-constitutional means their fundamental birthright acknowledged by the Constitution of the United States.
People of color or descendants of Africans were not made slaves in the Constitution of the United States where “We the people…” and “free men” were generic terms without gender or skin color preferential. Also, in the Constitution, white skins were not made superior or preferential. Reparations are due to persons of color because of the denial in their fundamental birthright to be the natural born or naturalized citizen of this great country of ours, the United States.
Reparations are due those persons as no other persons in the United States were denied their fundamental birthright supported by the system of governance in the United States. No other persons in the United States were denied by un-constitutional laws and the mouths of citizens who are white skinned from participating in government or living in the United States. No other persons were denied human existence in the history, the glory of wars and peace, the water fountain and transportation restrictions and walking the streets moving from the sidewalks for those of white skin and denied the ability to represent citizens in this country. Natural born people of color who met the standards and qualifications to seek the Office of the President of the United States, natural born, 35 years of age and fourteen years a resident in the United States, were denied their fundamental natural born birthright all by word of and out of white mouths, no constitutional law support.
What reparations might sooth the reputations of persons of color in our United States? Start by providing an avenue for people of color to publish and be paid to publish books so that their non-marketable stuff can catch up to the non-marketable books published and on the shelves of our libraries. Give free scholarships at all colleges for people of color who become the softer side of living: sociologist, psychologist, anthropologist, historians, artist and any person wanting a Liberal Arts degree. Finance books and other public media to redo movies, news and history to include people of color as legitimate contributors of the history of the United States.
Go and charge each state government a fee for having their government representatives to stand in the doors of schools, restaurants who denied access and sheriffs and law enforcement persons to include prosecutors who failed to prosecute laws using constitutional guidelines; and, finally, overrule Affirmative Action, Separate but equal and all the doctrines now accepted as law wherein persons of color are given certain rights above and because of their skin color as opposed to demanding enforcement of laws of all citizens, natural born and naturalized in this country.
Stop bussing our children destroying our community concept of America and burying persons into ghettos homemade. Bus in those things government owns: teachers, per capita cost per pupil, school finances to be equalized and school supplies to be distributed equally to citizens of these United States.
Last, instead of so-called “urban renewal” commence a program where one can earn this country by taking the old ghettos and destroying them and the renewal concept and give free to any natural born or naturalized citizen an amount of land to build a home on and give them five years to commence or complete their home or forfeit the land back into a landbank of sorts. Reintroduce the Homestead Act of 1867 which denied participation of natural born and or naturalized citizens skin color black. Look through the military and fix the mistakes doled out to soldiers of color in denials of awards and promotions and give them retroactively even the ones like me who had applied to be a Moslem Chaplain.
There is a way to REPAIR we must just stop thinking that it is reparations for slaves or ex-slaves or people of color and come to the realization that they are reparations for citizens of these United States who were denied opportunities in this country because of skin color and by-white-mouth laws. Fundamental endowed rights were denied human beings in a country where it is written must not happen. Enforce the Constitution of the United States not against or for people but for the United States. Now you know my rest of the story.
