Ta-Nehisi Coates
Ta-Nehisi Coates' case for reparations tackles the decades of crying out by African Americans, who've long fought against the unjust system of exploitation here in America.
Deriving from the personal experiences of those who lived through the Jim Crow era and interjecting valid facts about slavery, and how it transitioned in to institutionalized racism; the writer lets us know that this is more than an issue -- this is an epidemic.
In the Atlantic article written by Mr. Coates, you'll receive a brief insight into America's shameful past through the eyes of those that lived it. History always makes a comeback when scores haven't been settled -- when debts haven't been paid. For centuries black bodies have been treated like credit cards that never max out, and now in the 21st century, Ta-Nehisi Coastes readjusted the "black bodies bill" and shipped it off by first class mail to the public, in hopes of finally attaining payment -- or at least a discussion for the masses, on a past due balance.....that's long overdue.
