The U.S. government and society need to recognize the direct connections between continuing racial disparities in this country and the wrongs that gave rise to them.
... One of the most important aspects of successful transitional justice, therefore, lies in illuminating not only the victims’ suffering, but the ways in which an entire society continues to bear the burdens of history. This helps elevate an important point: correcting injustice may require affirmative steps. The U.S. government and society need to recognize — and educate citizens on — the direct connections between continuing racial disparities in this country and the wrongs that gave rise to them, and to talk far more about the responsibilities we all share for repairing the damage. Perhaps Ferguson – which has revealed what can happen when we suppress these conversations – will finally motivate us to think about how to address the harms, whether through material reparations or otherwise. If we’re willing to start talking, we’ll find no shortage of role models for transitional justice throughout the world to help us take the next steps.

Belinda Cooper is an imbecile
Each generation would want theirs too.
To be honest, if this country started doing this out in the open, I think I will have to leave it. The irony is, if we are forced to pay reparations we would essentially be slaves to them.
Okay,all the Malt,Newports and weed they want. Problem will take care of itself!
Never accept the premises of the mentally handicapped.
No matter how schooled or how old they are.
This is unadulterated fecal material from TIME and its feckless POS Belinda Cooper.
It would...if only blacks collected welfare.
But whites actually have a larger share of that pie, too.
No justice. No peace. More whining from those obsessed with white guilt, as Ms. Cooper.
And another ethnic group owns the trademark: Slavs.
Or they could leave this country for any country in Africa, where Blacks are in total control. What they shouldn’t expect is more free money.The taxpayers have poured $16 trillion into LBJ’s War on Poverty rat hole to buy Democrat votes, and they are still whining that they can’t make it in America. Time to go somewhere where they will be satisfied.
They get reparation everyday they are on welfare, use food stamps, dial Obamaphones, take free cheese take free healthcare. My taxes have been funding some folk be lazy and shiftless since my first job on the books in the mid 1960s.
It will never be enough for these race hustlers.
Twenty Trillion dollar$ $pent on the moocher cla$$ $ince 1965 i$n’t enough?
No.
“Transitional Justice” — is that 2014’s version of “Black Privilege?”
FU extortionist time magazine, payout the cry babies so they wont burn down thier own houses and nieghborhoods
^No; blacks were doing well until they started becoming militant and hostile towards whites who had nothing to do with their self-inflicted problems.
No matter what, these selfish shysters will never be grateful or think we have given enough.
World Policy Institute offers ideas for attracting immigrants to Detroit
Jun. 24, 2014
The World Policy Institute, a New York think tank, is proposing a two-year project to repopulate and revitalize Detroit using lessons learned from studying other cities throughout the world, such as Nairobi, Kenya, and Lagos, Nigeria.
The think tank announced the project Tuesday at the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Denver, where it is seeking to raise support and funding.

Motor City Project to spur economic growth in northwest Detroit neighborhood
A plan to spur economic growth in a northwest Detroit neighborhood was announced Tuesday during the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Denver.
The Motor City Project will highlight the use of available resources like manpower, vacant land and empty buildings to make the area attractive to potential and current residents seeking to start their own businesses.
It also will help new arrivals work through cumbersome city codes and other red tape to operate home- and neighborhood-based businesses, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow Greg Lindsay said.
Lindsay said zoning rules in many U.S. cities make it difficult for entrepreneurs to operate out of their homes or garages, but such “microenterprises” have been successful in poorer countries.

As part of the project, a so-called Resilience Center will be created to attract “urban homesteaders and migrants from other neighborhoods, cities and countries to relocate to the area,” the World Policy Institute said in a release.
Staff also will work with entrepreneurs to find funding and other support for their ventures.
“We want to create this pop-up community center where we would bring in new arrivals and help them acclimate to their conditions,” Lindsay said.
The two-year project is in the design and development phase and is starting with in-kind contributions. It hopes to expand with partners from the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative. The initiative was establish in 2005 by former President Bill Clinton. It brings together foundations, business and government leaders to develop solutions to challenges impacting people around the world.
We’ve already been paying reparations to blacks. It’s called welfare, food stamps, affirmative action, etc, etc, etc.
