To introduce reparations as a topic to the public and ask them questions about it, one must understand what the subject reparations means. The definition of reparations basically is compensation. In the case of African-Americans, many descendants feel that their ancestors should have not been exposed to such harsh treatment such as being enslaved, raped, and murdered to name a few without having some sort of land or money being owed to them. This is mainly what the topic reparations is all about, should a race of people receive compensation for the way their ancestors were treated. In order to understand
the necessity or morality of reparations for descendants of slaves,
many individuals must first be able to realize slavery can affect
people long after the slavery has ended, and slavery can also benefit
descendants of slave drivers long after the slavery has ended.
Those individuals must also be able to realize slavery and oppression
can exist in forms not as clearly visible as whips, chains, and cotton
fields. |

Name:
Danielle Middleton 1. Do you know what
the topic reparations means? 2. Are you in favor of it and why? (After explaining what reparations means) Yes, because my family has a long line of past slaves, and I don't think it would please them if they were not compensated for the harsh treatment they had to endure. 3. How do you think
reparations will affect other races? - I think the white people won't
be too happy, but it will benefit a lot of people because down the line
everyone has some sort of Black in their family. 4.If you were of
a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why?
- My personality is that if someone is being held in bondage they need
justice. Name:
Rodhette Zuniaga
2. Are you in favor of it and why? (After explaining what reparations means). Yeah, because it's only right. African Americans have been going through a lot of hardships. I think it's time, for Blacks to have something positive granted to them. 3. How do you think reparations will affect other races? - I don't think it will affect other races mainly because people know the topic mainly affects blacks, and they understand that Blacks don't have many things so why not give this to them. 4. If you were of a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why? - Knowing the time and age they will I think I would have the same views, because justice should not favor a race.
Name:
Lord Ikim 2. Are you in favor of it? (After explaining what reparations means). Definitely, everyone else gets it. Why not us? Many of the Jews got it; it wouldn't be fair to give reparations to one race of people. 3. How do you think reparations will affect other races? - Who cares! Jesus got it. 4. If you were of a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why? - Yeah, basically I would want it because it's rights. Name:
Amanda Toliver 2. Are you in favor of it? (After explaining what reparations means). Nah, it happened it's over. It's too many opportunities for white people to down us. 3. How do you think reparations will affect other races? I think other races especially Whites will look at us (Blacks) differently and also in a negative way. 4. If you were of a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why? Of course, I have a big heart, and it goes out to who ever is in a bad position in life. Name:Saanter
2.Are you in favor of it and why.(After explaining what reparations means) Yes indeed I am in favor of reparations, but see people need to understand that just giving back money is no way to give back to our race. To say that your sister was raped and then t compensate you, you received money, it's a crazy idea. 3. How do you think
reparations will affect other races? 4. If you were of a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why? I would still have the same feelings, because like I said, no matter what race I'm in, I still think the Black man should receive first, so yes I'm a little racist. Name:
Johnathon Brownlz 1.Do you know what
the topic reparations means? 2.Are you in favor of it and why.(After explaining what reparations means) Yes indeed I'm in favor of reparations because, my and your ancestors and past ancestors died in many struggles, so that we might have a fighting chance into job place and in society in general. 3. How do you think
reparations will affect other races? 4. If you were of a different race do you believe you would have the same cares, and why? I think I wouldn't have the same views or cares, because my culture and beliefs have influenced how i look at and approach things, so I guess if I was a different race I might not say I would be for reparations.
