A little blackbird has just told us NAACP President Rev Amos Brown and our beloved brother Danny Glover appeared at SF City Hall today and got Supervisor Hillary Ronan to support a bill for reparations.

We find this interesting since Supervisor Ronan advocated against London Breed becoming Mayor. And did not NAACP President Rev Amos Brown charge the "progressive Supervisors", including Ronan, with racism? Did she change her stripes over night? Or is Rev Amos Brown among Mayor Breed's loyal opposition?
As we know, politics has no permanent friends, only permanent interests. We would think Brown would approach Mayor London Breed to advocate for reparations since she is a descendent of Africans who suffered in the American slave system.
We support reparations in the form of land and sovereignty, with funds to establish an independent nation in America or elsewhere. No, we justly deserve part of American, the land we suffered since 1619 as indentured servitude and/or chattel slavery and today enjoy wage slavery. After 400 years in the American slave system that allowed centuries of capital accumulation, look at our wretched condition on the streets of San Francisco and other cities throughout America. Has America any desire to share her great wealth with the us impoverished descendents of Africans captured in the American slave system.
Not only do we demand land, economic resources for the next 50 to 100 years, but as part of reparations, we demand the general amnesty of all our brothers and sisters in American jails and prisons, 80% of whom were drug addicted and mentally ill at the time of their arrests for mostly economic crimes and tried without proper legal representation.
