So, maybe, they all should make reparations to the Africans and their descendants of America for this African holocaust. It was not that long ago that African Americans were butchered, maimed, tortured, raped, kidnapped, castrated, etc. In Virginia, during the 1600's, children of slaves would be inherited as the estate of their mothers not only were we brutalized, but we were considered as property to be inherited and passed down. History will attest to the fact that most, if not all, nations have had slavery. But, because of this uniqueness and brutality that has effects almost into perpetuity, even until today, our wombs are still fresh, and when Horowitz makes an inflammatory statement as he has been making in his advertisement for his book, viz., that African Americans have been on welfare in such great numbers that welfare should be reparations enough, our passions are ignited.
Racism is still alive today .
One of the first laws dealing with runaway slaves, occurred in Virginia, 1690. Three men broke their contracts, one Scotsman, one Dutch man, and one Black. The two non-blacks received three year of hard labor, and the Black man was given a life sentence for his escape. After this concern for the White felon, other Florida judges sentenced two minority youths to life terms without the same concern for the safety of personal dignity of these 13 and 14-year youths. In 1741, in New York, African Americans were put in jail, sixteen years and older and burned at the stakes because of xenophobia.
