AJ Simmons says he was in the military. He confronts:
1 The dedication, without having been born with a silver spoon to transition into a better life where his mom and relatives will accept him as a result, from selling drugs and mom and family not wanting to deal with him
2 Billionaire African Americans termed coons, and if they should put their money where their wealth is, and take care of other African Americans
3 what would most likely happen if your gave 1 Million to each who was not doing well financially
4 reprerations is mentioned but not examined for building the country
—- A few take always, as I am trying to hear different angles and make educated concepts
1 actions to make yourself I agree with. I also find it interesting that his family mom etc stayed clear of him when he was selling drugs etc etc. But George Floyd even with a criminal record of home invasion robbery putting a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly, and all the other offenses and life style, seems his family was very accepting of him.
2 I was unaware these people are called coons by some. I had that question why don’t billionare African American families help more directly? He sort of answered it. But still seems like a very direct actionable step as these people talk BLM but dont solve it directly with their own money in any noticable way. 3 A person down here asks how much money wealth homes is enough? But that same question and issue goes across all color lines in the ALM concept.
He hit it right on the head. Have reperations give 1 million to each rights now. Within a short time it would be gone for a lot of people. I say you can judge a man on how he uses 5 dollars you give him. Does he go to buy a beer or a fruits and vegetables?
4 Reparations. Study shows slavery existed in cultures in europe and South America. I am finally understanding the history and role African American Countries played together in procuring people to sell for profit. I wonder out loud why this part of the equation of slavery is not discussed in reperations. It takes 2 to tango and business people of both colors were interacting as humans as slaves.

An African country reckons with its history of selling slaves
At a time when Americans are again debating how slavery and the Civil War are memorialized, Benin and other West African nations are struggling to resolve their own legacies of complicity in the trade. Benin's conflict over slavery is particularly intense.
The incredible quest to find the African slave ships that sank in the Atlantic
For over 200 years, powerful kings in what is now the country of Benin captured and sold slaves to Portuguese, French and British merchants. The slaves were usually men, women and children from rival tribes — gagged and jammed into boats bound for Brazil, Haiti and the United States.
The trade largely stopped by the end of the 19th century, but Benin never fully confronted what had happened. The kingdoms that captured and sold slaves still exist today as tribal networks, and so do the groups that were raided. The descendants of slave merchants, like the de Souza family, remain among the nation's most influential people, with a large degree of control over how Benin's history is portrayed.

Well, the title of this post got my attention. I wonder how many others will react to it. Let me tell you a story... My father was born to immigrant coal miners. They were coal miners in the Old World and coal miners in the New World. Likely, the only time they ever saw the Sun was on the transatlantic crossing. (Then again, maybe not. They likely shipped out in steerage.) They had nothing in Europe and they had nothing in America except hope. They had no chest, cabinets or closets. They had nothing to put in them. My father started work in the mines as a breaker boy (picking out slag from the coal on the conveyors and tossing it aside). He escaped poverty as a prize fighter. Sound familiar. It is the same path that other minorities - Blacks, Hispanics, et al - followed to escape poverty. Minority? Yes, my father was a first generation Slovak-American. Sure, the Slovaks were white but you might have missed it inasmuch as they were covered in coal dust most of their lives. And they were known by the pejorative "Hunkies" (dumb-witted). So, should my father have shared his wealth with those remained in servitude to the mine owners? Now we arrive at the punchline. This is (or was) the land of freedom. Each of us has freedom to rise to the limits of our abilities and our ambition. If your either is limited, it is your responsibility to work past it or suffer the consequences. And if you think that Socialism will save you from yourself, think again. In every socialist nation (Communist/Nazi/Fascist/etc) there are those who rise to great wealth (through brute force) and those who are brutalized. Good luck with that...
