About major financial REPARATIONS for American descendants of stolen and sold Africans. The issues of reparations for ill-gotten gains that include human trafficking should have been on top of the list of any political discussions. Instead, powerful politicians and their donors threaten those who would mention the “nasty word”. After WWII, nobody objected to rebuild Germany, a form of reparation, even though Nazi Germany had murdered millions of Jews and others because of their hatred of diversity. Instead of paying reparations, descendants of European American human traffickers and their accomplices have gone on the offensive by attacking activities like DEI that had shown some promise, however small, to rectify the consequences of repeated abuses. There are words to describe the amorality of these reactionary movements couched as constitutionally driven.

Why didn't we get 40 acres and a mule? How much generational wealth could we have passed down by now? The reason I cannot suffer economic arguments against the "redistribution" of wealth in the United States is because we have been doing so for centuries. Just not on behalf of Black people. First, consider the first attempt at reparations for slavery. In 1865, Union General William T. Sherman, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and 20 leaders of the black community in Savannah, Georgia decided that freed slaves should be granted 40 acres each. Credit President Andrew Johnson with the failure of the United States government to honor this promise. President Lincoln’s successor and sympathizer with the South overturned the order in the fall of 1865, and returned the land along the South Carolina, Georgia and Florida coasts to the planters who had originally owned it — to the very people who had declared war on the United States of America. Next came the biggest "entitlement" program for white Americans ever in the United States - The Homestead Act.

Life and Career Coach ◆ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, Accessibility (DEIBA) Practitioner ◆ Talent Management Leader
Whew, Caroline A. Wanga hitting them high notes we need to hear. The quote she references of Dr. Martin Luther King is, by far, my favorite and it goes like this: "We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society, when machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered." As I'm continuing to notice how much materialism, capitalism, greed and frankly just having nice things consumes are very being... I often wonder "What would we do if capitalism went away?" What are we all willing to give up to ensure those without basic needs like clean water, life-saving healthcare, shelter and nourishing food have these things? How would this society behave if the government just decided no one would go without and ERRYBODY is getting a universal basic income? 🤔 QUOTE: "The norm that every abled person receiving cash payments should be seeking a job can also be challenged. First, holding a job is not the only form of work. Taking care of children and elders is work—work that is performed mostly by women without compensation. A basic income is a way of supporting and recognizing that work without intrusive state monitoring and reinforcement of gendered division of labor." https://lnkd.in/g4iDxdxN Anyway, this is just the early morning musings of someone who seriously wonders if this society can literally put their money where their mouth is when it comes to caring for its people.

At the invitation of Minnesota Governor #TimWalz and Minnesota Lieutenant Governor #PeggyFlanagan and #Minnesota Chief Equity Officer #DrStephanieBurrage … I had the opportunity to remind the residents of the State of #MN of what they are capable of building by the examples of Houston White and I. As a part of the #OneDreamOneMinnesota #DrMartinLutherKing event, I referenced the 1967 #MLK quote below and connected it to how community has the ability to hold young dreams at risk of being deferred, until they manifest as dreams undeterred, if we can each deprioritize self-preservation and prioritize seeing those that are finding themselves as part of creating change in the world. “We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” - #MartinLutherKingJr. (1967) Special thanks to Greg Cunningham, MBA #USBank for making space for the gathering.

Cultural Economist helping leaders build a common ground of understanding and collaboration on race and economic equity
This should be a topic of national discourse in the presidential campaign. 40 ACRES AND A LIE. Let's have a national conversation about an extraordinary issue that covers socialist economics, white supremacy & systemic racism: the misuse of American government power to rob 8 generations of Black Americans while rewarding White supremacists who abused Black Americans with generational wealth. This systemic robbery and abuse didn't magically disappear because it has been banned from being discussed in schools, churches & politics. As a country, we continue to pass to each generation unresolved issues of the past. We also pass forward the problems that continue to worsen while the solution gets more complicated. We inherited the conditions that previous generations created. Will we address these problems and seek to resolve them or simply pass them on to future generations? Let's listen and discuss. https://lnkd.in/gwHsnVdC

I read an article on ‘The Conservatism is George W. Bush’ which gave history on the election of George W. Bush. In summary, the article is anchored on the philosophy that although government should not interfere directly with people’s lives, it should help people to help themselves. The compassionate part involves the fact that people should be helped while the conservative part allows the idea that people should be responsible for their own actions and lives. Sir George Bush’s regime was characterized by three major themes I.e. homeland security, domestic and foreign policy. Critics of this trend caution that this results in inconsistent accesss to resources and programs as well as inequalities between the “haves” and “have nots” Further, Sir Bush maintained that private organizations and businesses are generally more efficient than government agencies and give people a wider range of choices. The rationale was that giving money back to people would stimulate the economy because they would spend that money which would in turn benefit business and the economy.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Jubilee Day, is a federal holiday that commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, it took more than two years for the news to reach Texas, which was still under Confederate control during the Civil War! Learn more about the history here: https://loom.ly/zEIygxA
