Great article! The fact that we even have to “ ask” for reparations, spells out the Black experience. You brought up very nice points that make sense economically speaking. I also agree that even asking Europeans for anything is not a good look for us. I think we all prefer to gain by our own hands…

My issue resides in the fact that that based on the very definition of reparations, it was supposed to be given.

Thank you for reading essay as well!😀
