But I do believe that this is a strong proposal and opportunity to gain insight into the impact and the continued impact of slavery on the black community. The bill is gaining support. I think it's important, and it's time that we start a study of what ifs for the potential for possible of resolution. Reparations, as we all know, America's truly never apologized or resolved itself of the quote, unquote sin of slavery
Oh, thank you so much for bringing this up. This makes me have so many thoughts and ideas. First of all, I'm a bit angry, because why hasn't this happened already? Slavery was honestly not that long ago, though, really, if we look at it abolished in the 19th century. So it's not too long ago. But if we look about the civil rights movement, 50s 60s, not too long ago, right?

Music hey, I just want to loop you into a conversation I'm having with Tremaine Johnson, a very interesting, powerful writer. And he's writing a book right now called Black Genius. But we talked about reparations. And I asked him about singular people who are good examples of those who can handle the charge of not just policy, but helping people understand what the best policy is. So I'm going to link that conversation here in this swell. And I also just invited him to this swell

No study. Power off. We got Ukraine. No study. Black Americans, we got to study. Just cut the check. You know what I'm saying? That's something that's old to us. Yes, I do believe that. They really ripped us up. We're doing bad, really, since the economy is just tanking and we definitely shouldn't be no party loyal to either party. I do see a lot of black Americans leaving the Democratic Party, which is good thing
