This bill has been reintroduced in Congress by Congressman John Conyers of Michigan. Make Black reparations a household word. We need reparations to keep or people out of prison. Or, you may join NCOBRA directly.

Learn to spell, define, and defend it. Of course, those who feel that they are not due reparations, or do not need reparations will not be forced to accept it. If we learn how to spell reparations, we will easily say it.
How much is owed? Once we know how much damage has been done to us, and what is required to repair the damage, we will know how much is owed.

When people talk abort how criminals must pay for their wrongdoing we must talk about how the US Government must pay reparations for its wrongs. There are many things we must do to prepare; only a few will be discussed here. Membership is open to organizations and individuals of good moral character who believe that black people in the USA, the descendants of enslaved Africans, are due reparations from the US Government and various State governments. We need reparations to keep or people out of prison.

We demand the resources required removing all badges and indicia of slavery. NCOBRA is governed by its membership through its annual National Convention, Board of Directors, Board of Elders, Commissions, and chapters. Learn to spell, define, and defend it. Once we learn how to defend it we will raise the issue every time someone talks about Affirmative Action, Welfare Reform, Jobs, Education, Housing, Health Care, Prison, Building, Police Brutality, and so on.

For example, the four year internment of Japanese in America, or the five year holocaust of Jewish people in Europe may require a different set of remedies than the 500 years holocaust of Africans in America. Work with organizations, churches, local governments, and State legislatures to pass a resolution in support of HR 40. Reparations are needed to repair the wrongs, injury, and damage done to us by the US federal and State overnments, their agents, and representatives. NCOBRA is governed by its membership through its annual National Convention, Board of Directors, Board of Elders, Commissions, and chapters.

Fourth: Attend the local, regional, and national meetings on reparations to learn more about chat you can do to help. What about Africans enslaved in other countries? Black reparations is an international movement.

There are too many of our ntertainers, recording artists, athletes, lottery winners, etc.
When do we want it?

We want it NOW! We know that preparatory steps must be taken before we can receive reparations even when the US Government agrees to pay us everything we demand.
Who would pay reparations? The US Government would pay reparations in the same
manner as they voted for and paid billions to Europe through the Marshall Plan after WWII, or billions to Israel every year since WWII, or to Russia, or Eastern Europe, or to prop up some puppet African Government.

How do we prepare for reparations? In order for reparations to make us whole, it must remove blacks from dependence on others (the government, and the descendants of slave owners and colonizers), to create our jobs, manufacture the goods we consume, feed, clothe, and shelter us, build our institutions, and oversee our money.

Work with organizations, churches, local governments, and State legislatures to pass a resolution in support of HR 40. A good academic exercise would be to develop a plan for how reparations could be used collectively to enable the African community to become independent from racist institutions and economically self-sufficient for at least seven generations. We need to learn the difference between wealth and money, and more about making money than spending it. These have proved that their vision for African people in America is joblessness, more prisons (more killer kkkops), more black women and men in private prisons, AIDS and violence.

Some estimate eight trillion dollars. It is a first formal step toward reparations in studying the impact of slavery and proposals for remedies.

Fourth: Attend the local, regional, and national meetings on reparations to learn more about chat you can do to help. And, have that we spend, we need to learn how to keep it in our communities.

When people talk abort how criminals must pay for their wrongdoing we must talk about how the US Government must pay reparations for its wrongs.
What can we do to help?

Make Black reparations a household word.

In order for reparations to make us whole, it must remove blacks from dependence on others (the government, and the descendants of slave owners and colonizers), to create our jobs, manufacture the goods we consume, feed, clothe, and shelter us, build our institutions, and oversee our money. We must determine what is required to enable us as a people, as a community, and as individuals to be self-determining.

This is a quote from the Associated Press:

Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.

This on the heels of an announcement from the Hillary Clinton camp that she would not concede the race to Obama today, reiterating her contention that the race is not over, there are still voters that haven’t voted, and that she is still considering challenging the way the Michigan and Florida delegates were resolved.

The AP says its tally is based on comments from the so called super delegates in addition to more than a dozen private commitments. If in deed this is the case, Barack Obama will face off against Senator John McCain of Arizona in November to become the next president of the United States.
