Using the Case Against Slave Reparations to Win Black Reparations
A commentary
By Omowale Za, Internet Black Reparations Activist
One very encouraging aspect of “The Case Against Slave Reparations� by Peter Flaherty and Jon Carlisle, which can be downloaded free at: www.nlpc.org, just write the article title in the search engine at the upper left corner on the home page, is that it clearly indicates that the enemies to slave or Black Reparations are taking the Black Reparations Movement in America quite seriously. This is something that many U.S. slave descendants don’t do, i.e. take the Black Reparations Movement serious. That is precisely why they are not active in this historic Movement. The fact that White People are indeed taking the Black Reparations Movement seriously will hopefully boost those slave descendants in fear or doubt to action. In fact, the Introduction and opening Overview of the Slave Reparations Movement in the document are quite positive, in the sense of outlining what is currently going on in the Black Reparations Movement. Some important perspectives and facts are omitted, but it is a good start.
The Introduction is a wake-up call to White People that they may not think that Black Reparations is a serious issue before them, but that is certainly is. It talks about the actual possibility in the future of slavery reparations courts where decisions will be made on who is eligible to receive reparations and who pays. In the classic sense of what reparations are, it is clear who pays. The classic definition of reparations are payments made by governments to people for abuse against that people in a context of war. So, whereas, in “debates� with Whites about who pays, there is an attempt to make this a complicated issue, it is really quite simple.
In the case of European Jews, the state paid reparations, then European Jews also sued corporations for what must correctly be called restitution, not reparations. What is happening in our case (and every reparations movement shares similarities and has differences), there is an aggressive movement for restitution against U.S. corporations. Hopefully, increasing victories against U.S. corporations can galvanize U.S. African slave descendants to demand real reparations from The United States, who actually “legalized� U.S. Slavery, not U.S. corporations; it was U.S. Public Law. You may study the slave statues in The Constitution of The United States at Attorney Dr. Robert L. Brock’s website at: www.directblackaction.com
That is another positive I like about “The Case Against Slave Reparations.� The authors actually acknowledge the Black Reparations Activism of Dr. Brock by highlighting that he is demanding payments of $500,000 to each U.S. African slave descendants. Quite often, our own Black Reparations Activists do not acknowledge the lifetime legal efforts of Dr. Brock and frequently loose their cases because they either are not aware of Dr. Brock’s legal work, or are not paying attention to his accomplishments in Reparations Law, for instance, like permitting a Federal Judge to talk about Statutes of Limitations being lapsed, which is totally nonsense. Dr. Brock stopped the Statute of Limitations on U.S. Slavery in 1965 by filing a petition for Reparations on our behalf.
Well, that is enough for now. I will see you at Commentary 3 in this Online Black Reparations 101 interaction. Please send your comments, thoughts.
