Captain Leif Iron-LegThe legal institution of human chattel slavery, comprising the enslavement primarily of Africans and African Americans, was prevalent in the United States of America from its founding in 1776 until 1865 (predominantly in the South.) [Slavery was foreshadowed by Christopher Columbus' treatment of Native peoples, justified under the "Doctrine of Discovery."] From 1526 during the early Colonial Period it was practiced in what became Britain's colonies that formed the United States. Under the law, an enslaved person was treated as property that could be bought, sold, or given away. Slavery lasted in about half of U.S. states until abolition in 1865, and issues concerning slavery seeped into every aspect of national politics. In the decades after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, many of slavery's economic and social functions were continued through segregation, sharecropping, and convict leasing.

We diverge on only a few issues (namely the role of technology and venture capitalism in US markets) and see him as Black America's chief economist.IF books aren't your speed some folks made a playlist of Black economist speaking about reparations and the dollar cost of systemic racism. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeBx4BxNzyM&list=PLqqcijotNIzKo0kgKjxRWxwb8asGWqC3P" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeBx4BxNzyM&list=PLqqcijotNIzKo0kgKjxRWxwb8asGWqC3P</a><a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastodon</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Economics</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/BlackNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackNow</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/ReparationsNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReparationsNow</a>

nullagentThere's a growing chorus of allies standing in support of Reparations for American descendants of slavery.There's a ton of logistical and legal issues with state/local level reparations(this should be federal and work similarly to tribal membership imo).
