Today is the 161 year anniversary of the Compensated Emancipation Act. On April 16, 1862, Washington D.C. paid reparations for ending slavery—to the enslavers.

Yep—white supremacist enslavers got reparations for giving up the people they enslaved. The enslaved got nothing. Ever.

To this day the enslaved or their descendants have received zero reparations for building the foundation of America under centuries of enslavement, torture, rape, & murder.

@QasimRashid so you pU it out of your pocket
If anyone's going to get reparations it should be the US Jews who were slaves first for many years

@jeffreykorn @QasimRashid

You went so racist that you circled back to anti-anti-semitism.

Impressive.

@jeffreykorn @QasimRashid that’s the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Absolutely NO it should be the people upon whose backs this country was built. The Jews should to talk to Germany about reparations. Sit down.

@jeffreykorn @QasimRashid

I'm sorry, Rameses was never the President.

@jeffreykorn @QasimRashid

This is racist for so many reasons and a lame attempt to pit Jews against black people. Go back to twitter.

@jeffreykorn @QasimRashid Maybe if WE TAXED THE FUCKING RICH we could have some decent reparations. It would not come out of your pocket.

Also, if Jews want reparations, tax the Jesussy churches since Christians have been the oppressors of Jews since the Bubonic Plague (probably earlier than that too, can someone inform me?).
