Reparations and "A More Perfect Union" - Pt. 1

Today we witnessed a very interesting occasion. Again, I am proud of Senator Obama. I can now state with confidence that the Senator understands true reparations. As we have been saying, we must heal the Black Nation. We must heal this American Nation. And while I don't say we have arrived, I am happy that Senator Obama used his overwhelmingly powerful platform to voice the dynamics of racism in America.

Reparations is about pursuing a more perfect union. It is not about being divisive or overthrowing this Country. As the Senator said, only in America is his unlikely story possible. Only in America can someone come from the bottom of society and maybe make it to the top. In India, if you're of the "untouchables," you'll always be untouchable. In many countries of the East, a woman has no chance to make it on her own. Because of the newness of Democracy in the former colonized world, it will be generations before those outside of the political elite have the opportunity to make advances.

Now, that doesn't make this Country perfect. But, this Country provides the framework to be perfected. In this Country, if we become serious about our political and economic destiny we will see serious gains.

Reparations is about pursuing a more perfect union. But, we know the media will not give you his comments in full; they will parse his words for whatever spin their motives desire. So, I have posted video Senator Obama. It is long, but you can pass-by what I see as trivial by going forward to minute 14 of the video.

Come and Get Your Reparations!
