There’s an anti Black war as old as America itself.
Time to give Black American slave descendants the justice they are *owed*
End foreign wars. #reparations
California says it's creating a Bureau for "Descendants of American Slavery".
Sounds good — until you read the fine print.
It’s not exclusive to descendants. It’s open enrollment.
That’s not repair. That’s diversion.
Real Reparations = Cash Tangible/Financial Assets Lineage.
Not bureaucracy. Not delay.
Not for everyone.

If you are in the LA area, the Taste of Soul is tomorrow, come on out and then afterwards, join us for a Meet and Greet with Reparations community activists!
If you've been running around these internet streets celebrating the so-called Reparations bureau in California, please come back and tell the people why you didn't mention that it depends on a 3-5 years long study 👇🏿 first. ....

NEW BREAKING: Leading California Grassroots Reparations Coalition Responds to @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom Signing SB 518 Bureau for Desdendants of American Slavery:
........
It's can't be Reparations for us if it's open to almost anyone. And this Bureau IS open to almost anyone.
Reparations delayed, Reparations diverted, is Reparations denied!
We can do better than this.
And we will.
Our Key Concerns. The Bureau is:
• Reparations Diversion: It expands eligibility beyond descendants of people enslaved in the U.S.
• Bureaucracy Without Repair: It provides no payments, restitution, or wealth restoration.
• Delay by Design: It's tied to years of study before any real repair.
• Erosion of Trust: They tried (and failed) to place the bureau under law enforcement oversight.
• Departure from Task Force: It breaks from California’s own Reparations plan.
