Not only that, but white people want to tell us that they died in the Civil War to free Black people. Therefore, reparations were paid in full with their lives. A bunch of BS. It took 100,000 free Black men and women who joined the North to end the Civil War. The North was losing to the South before then. Why did Blacks fight? To free their people, relatives, and loved ones, whereas any man or woman would fight harder for freedom, their loved ones, and to end slavery. No white man who joined or was drafted into the Civil War fought to free any Black people. Both the South and the North owned slaves, and there were some big slave auctions and plantations in the North just as well. It was solely a political disagreement and battle between white people. Blacks were simply caught in the middle of it and had their own agenda.

It should be noted that changes are about to take place at the African Union, and this includes a new director for the Citizens and Diaspora Directorate (CIDO) which is responsible for the AU's Diaspora Initiative as well as the Reparations programing for 2025. In light of that, this December 2018 interview from the past Head of CIDO (she is no longer currently in that position) is instructive for all of us: https://www.tapmagonline.com/tap/africandiaspora

The decision of the Council of Ministers comes after President Baleka raised the issue at the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights 83rd Ordinary Session in October. “It took three years, but Guinea Bissau has finally taken this important step in receiving her long lost children who were taken as prisoner of war and enslaved in the Americas,” said President Baleka. “ Guinea Bissau has now made a concrete contribution at the start of the African Union’s themed year 2025, ‘Justice for African people and people of African Descent through reparations.’ This is the internal reparations, the healing, that African governments are responsible for.’” President Baleka is now helping all members of the African Diaspora obtain citizenship as a chief advocate of their Right to Return and organizing the African Diaspora Assembly’s election for Provisional 6th Region representatives who will bring this issue to the African Union’s Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC) at a Rountable in May being organized by the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR). https://www.balanta.org/news/guinea-bissau-grants-citizenship-to-african-diaspora

The government will start a ticket writing campaign, start hemming up more BLK/BROWN/poor ppl in the court system, lock them up and send you to the fields like they do now, especially for the private prisons the wealthy whites own. They've already said OUT LOUD they prefer BLACK MALES & females due to more testosterone, get sick less, last longer with disease as the Syphilis/MKULTRA-Manhattan project/Holman Sq., Chicago has shown. Prosecutors/D.A's/Judges/your court appointed attys/jails are the plantation owners today. Reparations would have been an inducement for some.
