The Debate Over Economic Inequality

The problem with the ongoing debate about “economic inequality” as it impacts Americans of African descent is demonstrated all to clearly by the two opposites ends of the political spectrum with the progressive liberal minded Don lemon agreeing with the conservative Bill O Reilly on the plight of our young black men today is due a large part on their own apathy.
This convergence of these two opposite ideologies makes it much more difficult in for our community solve this economic disadvantage.
What was left out of this conversation, and the big elephant in the room, is the fact that Americans of African descent were victims of separate but equal Jim Crow laws and should have received financial reparation in 1954 when “Brown versus Board of Education” set aside that 1896 case of “Plessey versus Ferguson” which took away 14th amendment protections of that class of Americans.
In my new book “RACISM and HATE: an AMERICAN REALITY” I make the argument that Americans of African descent belong to a class of Americans who were injured by the “separate equal” laws that was set aside by the 1954 case of “Brown V Board of Education” and that all American of African descent who were born prior to 1954 belong to a class of citizens who were directly injured by those “separate but equal “ laws and had the right to petition the court in 1954 for “financial reparations.”
The legal team, led by Thurgood Marshall, didn’t petition the court for “financial reparations” in 1954 under the threat that to do so would cause further racial tension the South.
I believe all Americans of African descent born prior to 1954 should sign a partition to send me to the US Justice Department’s demanding that would be allowed to petition the court for reparations today.
This would certainly go a long ways toward righting a wrong and at the same time help stimulate the economy.
