*The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. ~Prov. 28:1* ~This verse explains one reason why America's systemic racism continues 148 years after slavery. White supremacists see all African Americans as a threat, not because we have earned their fear, but because of the great sins done against us. A movie to help one understand (trailer):
"12 Years a Slave"
Congratulations to the "12 Yeas a Slave" Director, Steve McQueen; Writers: John Ridley (screenplay), and Solomon Northup (author).
Some cannot rest easy living among people who were treated so horribly and who are yet victimized by economic depression, prison slavery and weekly lynchings. Therefore, they say "I felt threatened" when they kill us, and even liberal whites understand. For they, too, have felt that unreasonable fear. This explains why liberals tolerate oppressive laws like Stop & Frisk, and juries comprised of otherwise decent people release murderous police officers and others who kill unarmed blacks.
For these reasons, I believe paying reparations for slavery and Jim Crow would be good for this country. Everyone who has ever fallen behind in bills knows the apprehension an indebted man feels when his phone rings, and we can relate to his sense of dread about opening mail delivered "certified." Overdue bills cause dis-ease.
A video by Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, is embedded below to announce another feature film: "Seize the Time; The Eight Defendant." Some members of the Black Panther Party were set up on false criminal charges, and numerous others were killed by police. Many Caucasians say, "Why should African Americans be paid for something our great grandfathers did?" But in truth, neither enslavement nor lynchings of black people ever stopped in the United States for a single week.

THIS IS AN UNEASY PEACE. Although apologies were made, there exists a sense that no real repentance or forgiveness occurred. Every other group that suffered oppression received compensation, but Africans in America were given empty-handed apologies and told to "get over it." Texas is so uncomfortable with the idea of slavery that its history books for public schools will replace “slavery” with a dishonest term, “unpaid interns.”
