The price of liberation for your offspring is your life. Are you prepared to lay down your life in service of your people? If so don't throw away your life on things that shorten it or create and maintain a continuum for your oppression. Your oppression came through the thought and deeds of our tormentor. Your liberation shall come in the same vein except that you will be the one whose thoughts and deeds will create it.
We are never going get reparations from these people. You have to look at who was involved, a host of nations from Europe & Arabia as well as the church & Islam. If they gave us reparations(for slavery & colonization & the subsequent subjugation & coups, & other human rights abuses ) it would bankrupt the world economy. They are not going to finance their own downfall.
Liberation can never be given to by your oppressors, you must take it from them and take it in such a manner that they will never dream of trifling with you again.
Youth and parents of today your obligation to the next gene-ration is to leave them freedom and a legacy, in other words leave them a future.
