"Every whip slash inflicted on their backs ironically gave them strength to carry on their shoulders the burden of trickery, treachery and conformity. Let's not forget the burden of you dismantling the Black family and using Black babies to breed human machinery. Machinery used to provide centuries of privilege and stability for your offspring."
"You keep telling me and my people to get over it but how can we when the consequences still exist, and when your grandfather's clock of wealth continues to tick. As long as you keep benefiting from my people's timeless misfortunes, you should never fix your expectations for me to forget."
"And if you refuse to pay me monetarily, at the very least pay me the respect your ancestors stole from mine during slavery when you forced her to breastfeed your babies but refused to nourish her body with THE VERY FOODS she prepared for you and your family!"
"Pay us! Reparations for our separations; separation from our property, our families, our dignity, and our liberty."
