One Hundred One Reasons Why Blacks Won't Get Reparations for Slavery
by David Baldwin
This book, One Hundred One Reasons Why Blacks Won’t Get Reparation for Slavery, provides from a black perspective one hundred one reasons why White America is against reparations for slavery. The reasons given begin with whites being vehemently against reparation and terminating with an opposite stance laced with strenuous caveats. These caveats seem to diminish the generous spirit of contemporary whites who fail to have the will and determination to do right by the descendants of slaves.
Instead of discussing reparation in good faith and compromising on a favorable solution, whites denigrate blacks and their contributions to America’s political, social, and economic development. Blacks’ rebuttal to several of the arguments put forth is scanty and not very thoughtful. To them, reparations for slavery require action instead of debates.
The book is a compilation of ideas taken from discussions on reparations over a twenty-year period. The discussions were held mostly among small groups of black thinkers who recollected continuous dealings with white Americans. These thinkers’ perspectives on reparations and their views of whites on the subject is revealing and enlightening.
