Celeste Writer: Reparations for What?

However that title jumps out at someone, this is actually a conservative piece and a bit inspiring in what the writer says.

Reparations for What?

(ThyBlackMan.com) Recently, a conversation discussing reparations was trending on Twitter. Some tweets were against it, while most were in support of the making financial amends for the historical act of slavery…a slavery in which no one this earth has endured in America, and a slavery that is to blame for the present-day Negro that has trained his/her brethren that the white man will be forever above him, though ‘We used to all be kings and queens…until we sold each other’.

The ill logic in an ideal such as reparations is part of the root of the problems preventing black Americans progress in this country. Black in America are separated into different tribes, and the biggest tribe black America has is hood niggas. Their culture infiltrated the airwaves and TV with their value system, which makes it look as if the only thing respect blacks have respect for is beauty salons, trap kings and queens, material objects that take away from financial freedom, ghetto fabulousness, etc.

When it comes to how we as black Americans value each other, it’s no secret that we don’t. Anyone non-black with ears knows that black men desire and have a need for white women, black women rule the households and prevent their men from having any  part in the makings of a family home, black men would rather see their women as single mothers, black women call each other hoes and bitches, raise children that grow up to become statistics…yet we need money for our ancestor’s slavery?

Instead of helping each other come up, we just point them to the nearest welfare office or homeless shelter so the government can take care of them. Or we put them on a path of self-destruction so they can find refuge and structure via the judicial system.

Why do black American feel the need to even bring up reparations? If the government considered reparations, they should consider all the things I mentioned above to see how much they ‘owe’ us. We would probably be in debt, and need to cut a check to the government, like some of our hood fellows do anyway by way of bail money.
