  • Summary

  • Erika and Whitney return! In this special bonus episode, the co-directors discuss their latest adventures, including the PBS premiere of their reparations documentary, The Big Payback. And, with a little help from NAACP President Derrick Johnson, they dissect the shaky state of reparations. Can a flood of burgeoning local reparations movements supercharge the perpetually landlocked HR40 initiative in congress? Or will a new strategy, and an executive order from The White House, finally right the rocky ship of reparations?

    Make sure to check out The Big Payback film on the PBS Video app. Streaming free until April 15th.

Reparations Is A Cruel Game

Reparations is a much needed conversation. I appreciate the two commentators. Good chemistry.
The time for talk has long passed. The time for action is now. Right now.

I do not agree with the “we came on slave boats” narrative. The site www.slavevoyages.com says 80,000 slaves were bought to this land.

I thought it’d been decided that the “class” were those who’d ancestors had lived through slavery, Jim Crow, Black Codes, separate but equal, etc. That means that reparations is lineage based. Genealogy by records. Otherwise, millions came with the 1965 immigration bill would qualify for reparations in America, and whatever other country to which they have ancestral ties. “Biracial “children qualify for reparations as long as one parent has a lineage based claim. Enslavement has a history. That history will tell us all who qualifies for reparations.
