NAARC should be excluded from all Reparations conversations. I've cut out important wording:
reparationscomm.org/naarc-news/pre…

NAARC has formulated a 10-Point Reparations Program modeled after the CARICOM Reparations Commission’s 10 Point Program to serve as a frame of reference and guide for the growing discourse on reparations in the U.S.

With the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N’COBRA) as a foundational collaborating partner, NAARC is also at the forefront of the movement to secure passage of HR-40, the Congressional Bill that will create a Commission to study and

develop “Reparations Proposals for African Americans.” Finally, NAARC is extensively engaged in providing assistance to and certifying municipal, local and state reparations initiatives utilizing the milestone Evanston Reparations Initiative, which was certified by NAARC,

as a flexible replicable model. There are forces associated or previously associated with the relatively new organization American Descendants of Slavery aka #ADOS which are forcefully advocating the position that reparations should be limited to the period of enslavement in

“America” between 1619 – 1865 and should only benefit those persons who can prove a direct genetic lineage to people who were enslaved during this period. NAARC also rejects this restrictive eligibility framework, along with its chilling implications.

Just imagine the absurdity that according to the #ADOS blood lineage requirements Malcolm X, Shirley Chisholm, Marcus Garvey, Harry Belafonte, Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Marc Morial, Susan Taylor,

Opal Tometi, Colin Powell, Vice- President Kamala Harris and President Barack Obama would not be eligible for any form of reparations!
