Reparations 101:The holocaust of enslavement was no that long ago

Posted by Ari Merretazon on April 12, 2009 at 10:57am

Prior to and since the first landing of the ship of enslavement, Africans were forcefully conditioned, their reasoning inverted, causing their perception and reality to be mangled and twisted. Europeanized and Americanized Africans are de-capitalized by White America’s unjust-enrichment from the holocaust of enslavement. Enslavement of Africans as chattel property was about more than economics.According to Dr. Maulana Karenga, African enslavement must be defined as holocaust. By holocaust he mea

They constantly use the mantras of: less government, more individual freedom, lower taxes, etc.The Obama administration and the current financial crises present a great opportunity for Republicans to define

Closing the circle of abolition and restitution with reparations:Corrective economic justiceBy Minister Ari S. Merretazon, M.S.CEDBritain abolished the slave trade 200 years ago. Its landmarks are an abiding legacy of cruelty. Before the 18th century, very few White men and women questioned the morality of slavery as it was public policy. The Quakers were among these few. However, it was the Black resistance and rebellions that destroyed chattel slavery. Abolitionists facilitated and resourced t
