Instead Of Reparations, How About a Ticket Back to Africa?
By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson
Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny

This nation is poised for a battle that will divide us like never before. We
have endured the destruction reaped by welfare, affirmative action,
Rodney King and the L.A. riots, and O.J. Simpson, but this is one battle that I'm afraid we may not recover from as a nation. That battle is "reparations" for slavery. The whole idea of reparations is racist and divisive in and of itself. It is racist in that it unfairly burdens white America with the mistakes of the past-of which they have nothing to do with! It is divisive in that it foments rage that should have been discarded years ago. Simply, reparations is another misuse of slavery by the civil rights establishment to gain power and wealth.

Have you ever noticed that in the last forty years the black leaders in this country seem to have grown in wealth, power, and fame, while the grievances and complaints of average black America have only escalated?

What needs to be realized is that these so-called leaders are not working for the black community, but against it. By keeping blacks enraged at whites their status continues to grow. But if blacks were to yield their rage these "leaders" would no longer be necessary. That is why these "leaders" drum up insidious ideas such as reparations-a plot which I believe will be the most destructive blacks have ever faced. And the sad part about this is that the leaders aren't going to suffer like the average black will suffer: The black community is headed for a huge backlash brought on by a populace tired of being labeled "racists" every time they disagree with a black person.

Despite all white America has done, black complaining has worsened. We asked for welfare-they gave us that. We asked for jobs-they gave us that. We asked for their schools-they gave us that. We asked for their communities-they gave us that. We asked for affirmative action-they gave us that. We asked for their women-they gave us that. Now we want reparations? This giving has only increased our anger, perpetuated our rage, and held us back. The only ones who seem to be succeeding among us are our "leaders" like multi-millionaire Jesse Jackson. This is how it will continue if we are given "reparations."

Who will pay for reparations? I'll tell you who it will be. It will mostly be people who don't have a racist bone in their body. It will be people who immigrated to this country after the Civil War. It will be people struggling to support a family. It will not be the Klansmen. It will not be the slave owners. Those who will pay for the problem will be those who never had anything to do with it. Another consideration: when blacks receive reparations, will they go back to Africa? Certainly shipping blacks to America as slaves was wrong. If we undo one wrong, shouldn't we undo other wrongs as well? I know it sounds crazy, but so does the idea of reparations.

I grew up on a plantation near Montgomery and Tuskegee, Alabama, in a time when laws were against black America. I remember going to the marketplace and seeing separate black and white bathrooms. I remember every year, when it was time to plant and gather the crops, I had to stay home from school to work. And yet black Americans were able to do better then than they are now. There were good black schools, fine black universities, safe and well-groomed black communities, and intact families.

I grew up until the age of 18 never having heard about a drug addict or a drive-by shooting. Despite the seemingly worse conditions of this time there was no racist attack on white Americans as we are seeing today. My parents, my grandparents, their parents, and their grandparents worked the same plantation and never once did I hear them accuse white Americans in such a hateful tone as I hear today, and if anyone had a just cause for anger it would have been them. It is interesting that we didn't have the leaders or the anger that we have today, and we were successful. Yet today we have nothing but "leaders," and at the same time nothing but complaints, anger, and demands. And the demand for reparations is the latest in a downward path since the abandonment of independence and the influx of black leadership.

This whole idea of reparations is being headed by racist leaders of the black community such as Randall Robinson, executive director of TransAfrica and author of The Debt, U.S. Representative John Conyers (D-Michigan), who, since 1989, has unsuccessfully presented legislation calling for a study on reparations, Leonard Jeffries, a political science professor and a racist to the core, and Ebony magazine Editor Lerone Bennett, Jr., an outspoken proponent of reparations, who said that "[reparations] has been an idea that has been around for a long time. . . America owes us some money."

These are just a few of the black liberal "leaders" of this country who would rather keep blacks angry than demonstrate to them how they themselves became successful in life. As we are going to hell these men are becoming wealthy and powerful and not thinking twice about us. If-God forbid-blacks were to receive so-called reparations the money would end up in the hands of these black leaders, politicians, lawyers, and many of the black ministers. In addition to not solving anything, the anger of the black community will only continue because reparations will be another failure just as affirmative action and welfare have been. White Americans are not guilty of the sins of the past and must be careful not to fall to the anger of these socialistic, destructive black leaders who want to racially divide and conquer us. Black Americans must drop their anger and realize that it is not white America who is causing their destruction but their own so-called leaders, to whose evil there is no end.

All Americans must say "no more!" to groups like the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA), the National Black United Front, and the Republic of New Afrika who have led grassroots efforts to keep this issue alive over the past decades. America is the greatest country in the world. All men and women are free in this country to succeed or fail, and we will no longer cave in to racism.
Reparations was a wrong idea years ago and it is a wrong idea today. It will destroy us if we don't stop it.

Any "black leaders" should be given an airfare back to Africa, I'm sure they'll do so much better than in our oppressive country!

I agree with that guy. It's people like him that should be leading blacks, instead of the self-proclaimed "leaders" like Jackson and Sharpton.

I don't understand why Jesse Jackson got caught cheating on his wife then was let scot-free by the black community! Obviously someone who lies about his marital problems should not be an leader.

I would like to invite all sane people to join me in my founding of the BACK TO EUROPE movement.

This guy im guessing is black and he does have a point. We've all bitched enough and we need to get on with life.

It's "leaders" like them that have turn the civil rights movement into a slop trough. At best they're oppurtunistic and lazy and at worse conmen and extortionists. They've changed the message from equal oppurtunity to reparitions and handouts.

Half the problems with the black community in America are of it's own making. Drop outs, gangbangers, and crack-whore welfare moms are all symptoms of the problem that the black community has by and large stopped taking responsibilty and stopped trying. It's become about blame and payback rather than a serious attempt to better the black community. Until they stop glamorizing the thug life, stay in school, and actually accept that you have to work to achieve they'll be the economic and to a degree social underclass.

Would all the freed slaves from 1865 please form a line to reach your reparations.

Since all freed slaves from 1865 are decreased, no reparations will be paid.

You really didn't need to quote that whole article again.

I will support tickets back to Africa, assuming conditions are similar to those endured by slaves being brought to the US. I don't really care though, the population is overwehlmingly against Reparations as is the Law.

My family and I have semi-seriously been arguing that for a couple years. They wouldn't be here if their ancestors hadn't been slaves, and minorities already get preferential treatment in most corporations and education institutions. Affirmative Action is merely a political buzzword for racism, it's just that since it's in favor of minorities, it has become politically correct and anyone opposed to it is called a racist. Colin Powell has spoken against it when he said "discrimination for someone leads, inevitable, to discrimination against someone." There cannot be benefits given to people for any reason without it being discrimnatory against those not of the chosen group. Life is a zero-sum game. There are only so many slots open (whether at a college, a job, or anything else). If a certain number or percentage MUST be given to a group of people, that number or percentage is REMOVED from everyone else's odds. The NAACP is no better than the KKK, they merely have the ears of those in political power. I say if you're not happy where you are, go somewhere else. If you want to be "repaid" for your ancestors' slavery, America should be more than happy to obtain a one-way trip for them back to whatever nation anyone's ancestors came from. Happy trails!
