We Demand Reparations for African People.

10. We Demand Reparations for African People. We believe that reparations is the central economic demand which recognizes the economic role played by African people in the forced development of the political economy of the U.S. and the parasitic nature of that economy, resting as it does on 400 years of the enslavement of African people and the genocide of the native people. We believe that reparations, just compensation for labor and damages, will contribute towards the genuine self-determination of African people in the U.S. and the development of an economy and society that is controlled by and serves African workers themselves.

As part of the demand for reparations we call for an end to the forced U.S. drug economy in the oppressed African communities which is the forefront of the parasitic U.S. economy which sucks the blood of African people stealing our labor and resources for the benefit of white power and the white population in general.

We also demand an end to the degrading welfare system which is a part of the counterinsurgency and which makes African people dependent on the pittance from the U.S. government, which destroys African families and which makes African children wards of the state. The U.S. government can keep its “welfare” and hand over reparations which are owed to African people.
