Powerful segment at Tulsa's Black Wall Street where Tiffany Cross and panel completely address the moral and economic reasons for reparations.

1. Thanks for the post. Tiffany Cross is certainly getting grounded in her new show and...

this was a particularly strong panel. I watched the earlier part of it but they had yet to get to the nuts and bolts of reparations from the millions in lost wealth with no insurance companies ever coming through with compensation for the losses which where insured. They ginned up a "riot clause" as the reason when that was no riot. It was a massacre.

Also, there were black-owned banks there. I'm pretty sure those racists didn't burn up the money in those banks, not to mention in all the businesses destroy. There was looting before the burning and bombing as the whites were jealousy of the prosperous district.

2. I definitely agree that the trust fund babies need to pay up.

If your family gained wealth because of slavery then you need to walk away from that wealth. Start over and create your own wealth.

I support high inheritance taxes. The trust fund babies need to contribute to our nation.

Another example would be the 4 thousand miles of dead coal mine polluted streams in Pa. The coal mine families are still around. How about they pay up. Same with families who owned slaves.

3. most people are good people

in America? Well No! A slight majority are good people in this country. Nothing proves this as 2016 and 2020 elections proved egberto...millions of Americans in the civilian, police, and military population groups ARE NOW openly racist and willing to kill to make their bones to prove their "superior" man and womanhood. Ask Sandra Bland. Breonna Taylor. Eric Garner. Micheal Brown. George Floyd. Trayvon Martin. Tamir Rice, an 11 year old!!! And many, many uncounted, uncared for deaths of POC at the hands of the American racists since Jamestown 1619.
