i need to look this up.I'm about to leave for the day but this a question for everybody or might need its own thread.
Based on the Dred Scott case the Supreme Court ruled 7 to 2 that all AfricanAmericans living in the United States — slaves as well as free persons — could never become citizens.
This case has NEVER been overturned. Are we by calling ourselves "African Americans" already fighting a losing battle just in the sense of legal terms in trying to get reparations?
If we say we are african americans and at the same time say we are citizens of america. Unless the law is overturned we can't be both and get reparations.
ill respond after i study it
