Episode 2219: Joel Edward Goza on why Reparations is the Central Civil Rights Issue of the 2020s, by @ajkeen https://t.co/Py7E3e0GjL
Earlier this week, the prominent African-American broadcaster and writer, @tavissmiley , came on the show to voice his support for Reparations to correct the past racial injustices in American history. The Kentucky based historian, Joel Edward Goza, author of Rebirth of a Nation, agrees with Smiley, arguing that Reparations is, in fact, the central civil rights issue of our age. The struggle for Reparations in California, he argues, has turned the state into the Alabama or Mississippi of the 2020s. Perhaps. Although I’m not sure everyone, either in and out of California, will agree with Goza’s analysis of Ronald Reagan’s central role in 21st century America’s racial injustice. Or his suggestion that California should pay reparations to the rest of America for Reagan’s sins.
