...community who have remained cemented in the underclass. More importantly, reparations would be paid through programs such as education, health care, job training and urban renewal. Individual African-Americans would not receive reparations payments in any form; black reparations is not about “forty acres and a Lexus,” it is about revitalizing, rejuvenating, and rebuilding the black community...
