    Jones-Sawyer has said at the task force’s previous meetings that proponents of reparations will need “as many allies as possible.”

    He further noted Thursday that “for any community that believes they have suffered similar atrocities, this report, and actions to come, should be seen as a blueprint for their efforts to ascertain and prove reparations are needed to atone for setbacks
    caused by historic and continual racism and bigotry.”

    Atonement of past behaviors doesn't solve the problem of current behaviors. Reparations will not
    remove systemic racism. Its just chump change for chumps.
