Story time. Here's what you need to know about Black Americans' pursuit of reparations as it stands today.

#ReparationsNow 🧵
Be cautious of those saying they support "reparations now" but spread hate speech against other minority groups. That's never been the path to restorative justice and Black Americans have been speaking out against this misinformation.

I've debated before whether White people should even get a vote on Reparations. It seems odd that the descendants of those profiting from reparations would decide who gets them. Seems like a conflict of interest. Thoughts?

Fannie Lou Hamer "Kept President Johnson Up at Night” — @queenie4rmnola link.medium.com/Cvt2CdeInsb

Want to know why?
"President Lyndon B. Johnson was terrified of her, terrified of her appeal she would make in 1964 before the Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel on behalf of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (Brown, 2020)."
"White moderates will often proclaim that they support Black people and respect them, but that change is too risky, inappropriate, and unconventional. As a credit to her generation, Mrs. Hamer refused to buckle under the weight of oppression or others’ apathy — she persisted."
