What does that even mean?
"Ida Hakim explained, "the force that brought this working group into existence was the reparations movement, so I'm confident that this working group will deal with the subject of restoration and reparations. Our hope is that it will continue the movement already underway at the UN to unite the descendants of enslaved Africans as one people, from Canada to Chile, to the Islands and across the slavery Diaspora."
Sounds like land might be at the top of the race pimps shopping wish list.

>What does that even mean?Hard to say, since a lot of the reparations debate is a hall of mirrors. However, proponents like to talk about how their "culture was stolen," so one would presume that they're talking about some way to "reverse the damage," as if a paycheck had the power of to turn back the clock.
But yeah, I was wondering the same thing myself.
