RE: Pro Cop Killer Joanne Chesimard Group Pays a Visit to Ridgewood
I am curious, Just which American Citizens will be the targeted ones to pay the reparations? Everone? Including them? Just those in the Southern States who did the enslavement? Just the ones the POP decides are the enslavers? As a family member of emancipated Afro-Americans in Ridgewood pre-Civil War and a grand-father of Afro-American grandchildren, and vocal advocate in the face of the sitting governing bodies in New Jersey to save the Zabriskie Tenant House which was razed to the ground effectively erasing the history of our part of American that fought to preserve the dignity and equal status of our brothers and sisters from Africa. I am just wondering who is it they are singling out? Dear POP seen you coming for 60 years and Martin Luther King, Macolm X, and ALL the Black Panthers got my back….who got yours?
Sincerely, Peter Zabriskie
My ancestors were in Europe at the time, don’t look to me! Maybe they should start at the root in Africa where the slaves were originally captured by other tribes and sold? And weren’t there some black slave owners like Anthony (Antonio) Johnson ? So what do we do about that? This after so many years is not the problem anymore…many disadvantaged immigrants who come to this country and don’t even speak English do very well for themselves and one reason is they ensure their next generation goes and stays in school, gets educated and becomes the anchor for their present and future generations. Maybe they need to learn that which by the way was pointed out to me by a black pastor.
