#FairHousing So when I think about reparations this is what I am thinking about. Investment in Black communities & families that matches the investments made in white communities to promote & enforce segregation. Think of segregation as a massive investment in white privilege.
These investments are less about individual checks and more about deep and extensive investments in policies & infrastructure that will advance Black economic, educational and physical well-being.
No need to worry about stigma. White people are not ashamed of the advantages they received from the tax breaks that made the creation of whites-only enclaves like Levittown possible. Or that their veteran grandfather could use the G.I. bill to go to flagship state universities
...in the south and Black veterans could not. We need policies w the ambition of the G.I. bill and the interstate highway system.
