The previous comment is correct there are so much more pressing issues that need to be addressed for African-Americans. Young black kids are getting murdered on an almost weekly basis and this is what the NAACP focuses on? I'm sorry about the reparations if you can't bounce back from something terrible that happened to your gandfather's father, then a getting a reparation check is the least of your problems. My great grandfather was a drunk does Jim Beam owe me money?
