Slavery and Reparation for African Americans

Political Commentary

 

An argument for the need for reparation for the African Americans

An open letter:

The slaves who were forced to give free labor, sweat and blood built America so that American Republic could be born. Educated intellectuals and White supremacists used the free labor to build their mansions, economic and political power to rule over white, black and native Indians. The black people never received their fair share from mother America. Now the time is ripe for America to share the wealth and power to the people of color, to show the entire world that America is the beacon of hope for humanity and to honor its promise freedom for all people. Economic justice is one of the major components for freedom and equality. Germany paid its due share through reparation to the allied countries for both the World Wars and compensation for holocaust survivors and their descendants.

My book “Black Education in White America” provided facts how brutality of Slavery and its legacy transformed a large segment of the African American population into a state of despair through the epigenetic modification of the structure of DNA that resulted neuro-behavioral, mental and other pathophysiological conditions. Toxic stress and traumatic experiences inflicted on Black people altered the function of various metabolic pathways that affected a child’s cognitive abilities and executive functions via epi-genomic control passed from one generation to the next.

It could strengthen the arguments for reparation by using the epigenetic influence on slavery and its destructive ramification.
