The Case For Reparations -- Chris Hayes Interviews Ta-Nehisi Coates

[ancianita]

5. I looked up a few books on Amazon, and believe that figures do exist. A truth and reconciliation

commission can accompany a an intergenerational reparations project.

Such a commission can historically trace both slave ancestry and institutions built on slavery, which is one reason some states and Georgetown have tried to deal with their part in our slave history.

Who gets reparations, what form they take, who owes and how long this will take are up for settlement across the country.

I wonder if the judicial system will be involved.

I wonder if all the slave societies of the Western Hemisphere outside the U.S., will ever make reparations, since they received over 90% of all the slaves from Africa.
