I dont know about you but I dont consider our condition here in the US to be "free". As far as I know there is only one white person I would consider a serious ally and thats John Brown. He died....he knew he was going to die but still fought for Black freedom. White people speaking for us tends to turn into us being crowed into ghettos. If you really want to test your theory ask whites why they havent given the descendants of the enslaved reparations? What you will find is that they are fine with us being technically free but they dont want to do what all humans do when they have wronged someone. They have no intention of correcting what their ancestors did nor do they have the slightest intention of helping us be better off than they are or even on an equal level.
Considering where our ancestors started from here in the Americas, "free" represents "not enslaved."
You mean ask the government why they haven't issued reparations to us descendants? I ask this bc I don't personally know any white person who is capable of paying me reparations. I guess those who attempt to help push justice and equality for Black people can also help to get reparations too.
When it comes to money people (Humans) get strange and indifferent. Lol Everybody can use a few more dollars. So I can't expect for someone who's hungry to gather food for me and not try to retain some for themselves;Regardless of who is owed it or not. I don't have that much faith in people of any culture!
I don't know about John Brown the freedom fighter. Did he also fight for reparations for Black People?
"White people speaking for us tends to turn into us being crowed into ghettos."
Im not sure I understand what you mean about the statement above. Would you mind elaborating a little more for me?
