Trymaine Lee, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Michael Harriot in Conversation: On Reparations 

when survivors of Tulsa Massacre were denied by courts answer is reparations. If can't be done, here, then must be done elsewhere.

I have no idea what Michale Harriet is talking about with his issue to lineage based reparations. Almost all of the black immigrants in the country got here after the 60s.

Great conversation. Strong moderator - knew when to come in and when to say silent. Good audience questions. An hour well spent. Thank you for uploading.

I'm loving what Nikole is saying but I am also a part of ADOS do all of this Yvette has said many times over.

You can speak in this backwards and forwards they know they owe

It has to be lineage based so that people cannot come in after the fact who were not involved in slavery, this ain’t about racism this is about SLAVERY in AMERICA!!!!!!! plus the Caribbean’s have CARACOM!!!!!!!!

I LOVE Hanna Nicole Jones' opening in which she mentions BOTH slavery AND also the hundred years' racial apartheid. I always cringe when we talk only about slavery and never mention the hundred years of racial apartheid...those hundred years MATTER and MUST be mentioned, remembered, and compensated for!!! Also, it stops white supremacists from blabbering their ig'nant talking points about how slavery is SUPPOSEDLY...in THEIR little minds..."ancient history". An excellent discussion, THANK YOU!!!

The British owe all of us, the French owe all of us, and the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese governments owe all Black African people and each country that grew from hear owe they Black citizens, countrypeoole as well

*Nikole Hannah-Jones:* 2:09 - Response #1 9:36 - Response #2 13:32 - Response #3 18:08 - Response #4 31:03 - Response #5 34:22 - Response #6 39:50 - Response #7

People don't want to be educated, but how do we make it entertaining, make it make money, make it make it make it--and label it reparation.

If you aren't out anything; You aren't owed anything.

As expected! Great conversation👏👏👏👏🔥

@30:58 What the esteemed brother is referring to, for example, the North Carolina State University's that were built from moneys that should have been equitably distributed but excluded African Americans. Thus necessitating the Morrill Land-Grant College Acts to be created and enforced to provide that equity. Creating black institutions such as North Carolina A&T that are supposed to be the equivalent of the N.C. States.

Some of the ridiculous arguments against reparations don't make sense. Black tax dollars were used to pay for reparations for Japanese internment at a time when they had no representation or rights. Black tax dollars were used to pay for the new deal even when the new deal dint benefit them at all. Black tax dollars were used to pay for the GI bill that they were not allowed to apply for!!!!!! look across the pond. The Germans paid reparations for the 2WW. They paid to France Netherlands Poland Britain and even America. Why is that different for black folks. Britain paid reparations to slave owners when it abolished slavery. what other example do you need.

I agree 100% with what the young lady said.

GA has a budget surplus of over a trillion dollars. Educating everyone about what happened. That means educating parents who must educate their children. We have started this process but we need to double down and go balls out and literally “Go Tell it on the Mountain “

the fact that y’all couldn’t go the entire segment without someone on the panel saying American descendants of slavery is really telling. where is the panel w Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore?!

Great conversation ❤🖤💚

This girl is fantastic

Loved the dialog, conversation and minor debate. Points to highlight: 1. ADOS is a real thing and I believe that their approach to get us REPARATIONS should be used by others as a template to get theirs. 2. Race will always be the main component when addressing REPARATIONS because it's the "go to" in this payout 3. We know who made wealth from slavery. I get the US government's role as it relates to policy. But, the NYSE, Cottonelle, ship builders, insurance companies, banks (Bank of America), etc. 4. 100 years from now? I'm gone for sure, but I hope as an owed group of people that this wouldn't be a topic.

Repugnicons fought against the COVID stimulus but did not turn it away.

Projects like: Going on a Lion Hunt by Tracy Clark are milk toast, milder, introduction to social studies.

Need 218 votes in the House, and 50+1 votes in the Senate, to pass legislation. We can do this in November people. A House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries will get it passed out the House, and a Vice President Kamala Harris will be the if necessary, tie breaking vote in the Senate, to pass HR 40, and President Joe Biden has already said he will sign a reparations examinations committee being formed legislation into law. Let's do this in November. I predict we will. The time has arrived.

This was a great conversation, however Michael Harriott was hard to understand and tended to ramble a lot. I really did not appreciate him during this professional setting in conversation and he breaks out using the N-word that was so disrespectful to the entire audience regardless of the color of their skin.

you go girl! Excellent answer NHJ

#ADOS TONE and YVETTE

I completely agree with all of the economic arguments, and reparations must also include social and cultural reparations. Our people have been stripped of our unique social cultural autonomy and aspirations through the centuries long attempt to dehumanize our very existence. Even after enslavement Jim Crow was designed to enforce subhuman status to Black people in the economic and political interest of White America.

Once America signs on, everyone else will follow.

38:07 to 39:37 Great point Michael. That's THE point.

Stop perpetrating. Stop grifting. I'm 80 yrs old and know you didnt start this movement. People that should be on that stage are missing!!!

Nicole Hannah Jones sounds like she been listening to @Yvette Carnell!

Thank you to everyone this will happen so like the young man stated be prepared for sabatoge because our cycle has come but when dynamics do change let us not be in the same mindset... even in politics and especially in economics

No intentions on creating a movement

(MMT) Modern Monetary Theory is where the money would come from. African descendants is where it should go. I would also add that financial education should be in the mix

fight the courts, fight in court

add real estate stolen from Blacks, add court system institutional racism denial (we will get in line, and submit our briefs) Tracy Clark versus BCTA 2009 PHRC 2011, add educational reform/judicial system reform, get it on the books as asset liabilities... it can be done.

I think I love Nicole but she made a misstep when she said that paying your debts won’t solve a lot of racial issues. I think that once you are ridden of your debtors, you can engage in more equal and more equitable conversation and so reparations will provide a lot of relief to racism, but it will not end it

Reparations must come from the Federal government. It was responsible for ending slavery nationwide, and it had the responsibility at that time, to insure the enslaved received justice for their hardship. Beside that, it becomes too complicated for local, state, and national reparations to be given. The only way that would work easier, is if reparations were awarded in the form of cash payments only. There still might exist the possibility of people double and triple dipping of reparations. It would take a huge bureaucracy to oversee the distribution of reparations. Reparations in themselves would be expensive enough. We need not make it more costly, than it naturally is. It is also an investment, or should be seen as such, especially by us. It will mean less money in the national budget for the normal things our tax dollars pay for. The country and that means us also, should get a return on the investment, but who can guarantee that? We obviously have the most power to determine that, but what other ways can we produce more funding, for all that the country needs funding. Those needs are only getting larger, with the increasing destruction caused by storms and other natural disasters, and we are only just beginning to rebuild the infrastructure. Pandemics are costly, not to mention wars. What are we thinking. Why do we act so contrary to what/who we claim to be as a specie? With all that cost, why do we need wars against foreign enemies, and what already equates to a civil war among ourselves, especially a war among Black people? This is where a peace dividend makes all the sense, in the world. With all the religious beliefs and woke idealism, neither has asked the people of the U.S. to give ourselves a 'domestic peace-dividend'. The best way to defund anything, is to make it largely not needed. What could be funded, with all the money spent on just insurance cost of all kinds?

Where is Yvette Carnell and Antonio Moore, co-founders of ADOS who started the modern-day reparations US 🇺🇲 movement and whom these folks have stolen ALL their talking points and presenting them as their own??? 🤔

10:25 GFY

I believe there should be Reparations and not with only money. There many servers for starting up businesses, education, should be free.

The text info that accompanies this ask the question - can we ever be full citizens without reparations? What kind of question is that? We have long been saying we are not treated as full citizens, besides many say reparations are to make us "whole" as in whole human being. If they don't mean that, then they surely talk about reparations repairing us. Do you as an individual feel so less that you feel you need considerable fixing? Most people directly involved in this push for reparations, have done well without reparations, and isn't the same true for most of us? So, what is reparations really supposed to accomplish? Can it be said to do any more than to pay the compensation, that our ancestors did not receive because of being enslaved?

Will Sunny hostin pay reparations?

NHJ overcompensates.

This woman is sexy AF 🤩

They haven't got one object-oriented person.

Claiming victimhood for what happened to other people is disgraceful. Ascribing guilt to people who had nothing to do with the offense is atrocious.

What about the black tribes that sold their people into slavery?
