And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

#AATWD

In This Episode:  I talk with Jersey Worthy from the Stereo app. We go deep down the rabbit hole that is reparations. How should it be done? What type of compensation?

Summary:

In this conversation, the speakers discuss the concept of "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" and the historical context of black prosperity being destroyed by systemic racism. They criticize the narrative of individual responsibility and highlight the role of government in hindering black progress. The speakers also touch on topics such as the military-industrial complex, slavery in the Ottoman Empire, the need for financial literacy, and the impact of redlining. They emphasize the importance of specificity when discussing reparations and acknowledge the need for justice in territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Key Takeaways:

1. Historical black prosperity was often destroyed by systemic racism and government interference.
2. The military-industrial complex has had a detrimental impact on society and the economy.
3. Slavery in the Ottoman Empire differed from slavery in the United States, where generational enslavement occurred.
4. The wealth gap and roadblocks hindered black progress even when knowledge and resources became available.
5. Reparations should be specific to American descendants of slavery, while justice should be sought for territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Quotes:

• "Every single one of the United States has benefited on some level or another from a monetary standpoint because of slavery." - A
• "The north got rich because they were getting cheap cotton from the south due to slavery." - B
• "The US government should pay out for sure, and then we can provide guidance for other nations to make right on their history." - B
