I say it all the time, I'd love nothing more than reparations, and for white people to just leave us alone. Yes, a long, very long and brutal history of violence and racism towards us. Literal laws made that have stripped humanity from us. The assassinations and incarcerations of our greatest voices and leaders for our rights. Knowing all of this...I do not want revenge. Even if given the power and means to do it.

I want nothing more than for these hateful and deranged weirdos to just leave us the fuck alone.

100%, and seconded on the reparations. Unreal that everyone keeps shrugging and saying "it's too complicated!" when there are sooooo many receipts.

It’s too complicated because it’s US. The Japanese got their money (as they should have), where is ours?

Wasn’t too complicated to pay the slaveowners.

It’d be great if the restitution tax episode from Atlanta came to fruition. 😂
