Proposal for Reparations of African Americans

Teresa Burk

     Due to the fact that many African-Americans cannot trace their genealogy
back more than three generations, It would be extremely difficult to distinguish
between those who are descended from Freemen and those descended from Slaves.
Therefore, although it should have some impact on reparations, we must take into
account those who cannot trace their genealogy( approximately 3/4th of African-
Americans). We also must remember that in essence, no African-Americans were
completely free.  Many blacks, Freeman and Slaves alike were lynched, falsely
imprisoned, raped, murdered, and subject to sub-human treatment. It is almost
impossible to estimate the economic hardship caused by slavery and the aftermath
that followed. To this day the African-American family still suffers from the
aftermath of slavery. We see it in the form of Poverty, under-education,
Discrimination, and Black on Black crime. Consider that Blacks are seriously

African-Americans are CEO's in corporate America. Blacks are also a rarity in
Law, Medicine, and higher education, What follows is my estimation of the
reparations needed.

1st generation descendant of slave:  500,000     of Freeman:  350,000 2nd
generation descendant of slave:  350,000    of Freeman:   225,000 3rd
generation descendant of slave:  225,000    of Freeman:   180,000 4th generation
descendant of slave :  180,000    of Freeman:    120,000 5th generation
descendant of slave:    120,000   of Freeman:      90,000 6th generation
descendant of slave:     90,000    of Freeman:      60...
