    Descendants of the enslaved Africans brought to Alabama on the last known slave ship met with the family of the ship’s financier to discuss reconciliation.


    Takeaways:
    They know who the thieves are
    They Lawyered up because the thieves would only respond through lawyers.
    They asked for reconciliation not reparations.

    This is so sad. Needing white validation of your feelings from white people many generations removed from the actual people.

    This is the kind of mindset that will hurt any reparations movement, anywhere. The ones that need white people to say they're sorry over actually demanding a check.

    I am not sure how they would do something like this on a wide-scale. I think this is why it hasn't happened yet. Like we have people that came here after the fact that don't know about their heritage either and white people that have slave blood because of swirling. It is a mess. It should have happened within the first 20 years of slaves being set free... They purposely waited hoping no one would notice.

    Every other group got their tax cuts and land. Maybe that is where our people need to start.

    This family indeed wants their land back from the thieves.
