We have to build our community infrastructure so we can make our money work for us.

I agree with Dr Umar Johnson on reparations, this is such a reality and with Garvey Nation citizens we all know the power of capturing our dollars amount our people with spending”

I had not thought about commodity, wealth and assets. Those things will never run out. But cash will. That makes so much sense. What he said in this video has changed my perspective to look at reparations from a another dimension. Wow!

Thank you Brothers & Sisters for your on point comments. Dr. Umar Johnson hit the nail right on the head. We must first have an economic foundation within our Race to generate and recycle our dollars before we can be concerned about reparations. This is the very premise that Garvey Nation was founded on; creating our own products and spending our money with our People.

I love the idea of internal reparations first. We will definitely need to know how this transpires. Because truly there is nothing free in life. There will be something attached to reparations. White folk always have “gotcha” for every “gimme” (handout). I totally agree with everything that Bro. Umar Johnson has said. We don’t want any trickery. We have to move wisely so that the reparations don’t expire. But that they continuously compound in dollar amount.

All money ain’t good money.

Thank you Brother Delxino and whenever I hear folks speak about reparations it most Definitely has been about the cash and not ways to spend it and grow it within Our communities, from now on I will ask people when they speak on it if they have also considered ways it can be used to help build with it , if it should become a reality

Say it brother Umar! I agree that financial literacy counseling must precede reparations . I too agree that we would benefit more from assets, ie, land reparations, , tax-free citizenship .Post-traumatic slave syndrome counseling is a tmust in order for our race to move foward.

Commodities wealth, and assets, things that continue to pay in multiple ways and can be transferred generationally through time.

Awesome Brother Robert "One of the Biggest problems with current day Black folk,"... 

Working on ourselves, with ourselves and only by ourselves can fixes these problems

What an excellent, brilliant, breakdown of reparations by Brother Dr. Umar Johnson. Especially, working internally upon ourselves first. We have others nations, others races, and those of our own races looking for reparations not for Black people, but for themselves. As my brother, we have our reparation already, its (1.8 trillion).

Astronomical!!!

Preach, Teach, brotha Dr. Umar Johnson!

That brotha there is another modern day Messenger for our People. He speaks our language.

One of the Biggest problems with current day Black folk, are being descendance of our ancestors, who were wiped, raped, robbed, stripped of our birthright, religion, of self....Which leads towards, doing nothing to better oneself, Procrastination, low self worth....

Dr. Umar is head-on Bullseye, with the fact of internal reparations. Once this is accomplished, (the way we're building in "Garvey Nation" daily, then we're in a better position to Dominate, Control, Build, Protect...Our wealth, as it continuously flows in.

Another Big Factor, we make the mistake of falling into that Generational Trap of waiting for Reparations.

Let's actively wait, with very little attention on reparations, & build into Millions of likeminded Black individuals, consistently spending with other Beautiful Black people. Then we're back on track, doing what a lot of our Great ancestors were doing, via Building Wealth, creating, Dominating....

Infinity Thanx to King Delxino, & Queen Deborah, for their resilience towards uplifting our Black people. You're modern-day Messengers towards our Black people as well.
