  Reparations News   Florida Senator Blaise Ingoglia proposed a constitutional amendment to ban reparations for slavery descendants in Florida. If passed by the legislature and approved by 60% of voters, the amendment would prevent state and local governments from compensating descendants of enslaved individuals before December 6, 1865. This proposal follows Florida's past reparations, like paying Rosewood massacre survivors and their descendants. Ingoglia, known for his controversial "Ultimate Cancel Act" against the Democratic Party, aims to add this amendment to Florida's constitution (Florida Senate, 2023) .     Florida is continuing its ongoing campaign of anti-blackness and anti-wokenness, and that is the norm to be expected.

Update On The Jacksonville Florida Shooting

      A 21-year-old individual, Ryan Christopher Palmeter of Clay County, Florida, lawfully acquired the weapons he wielded to fatally shoot three Black persons in a Jacksonville Dollar General store, an act perceived as racially charged. Palmeter sought entry to Edward Waters University, a renowned Black college, but was turned away.    He subsequently visited the store and commenced the gunfire with an AR-15 inscribed with Nazi emblems.

Waters remarked that no evident "red flags" could have restricted Palmeter's firearm possession.    Throughout the assault, Palmeter acted independently, lucidly, and unfa...

Introduction: Reparations payments refer to compensation made to individuals or groups for past injustices, such as colonialism, slavery, or discrimination. In this article, we will examine the reparations payments made to Panama and Hawaii and compare them to the issue of reparations for Black Americans. Reparations to Panama: In 1903 (American Foreign Relations, 2023), the United States helped Panama secede from Colombia and then secured control of the Panama Canal Zone. The U.S. military occupied the Canal Zone until 1979, during which time they displaced and mistreated thousands of Panamanians. In 1977, the U.S. signed the Torrijos-Carter Treaties (U.S Department Of State, 2001), which granted sovereignty of the Canal Zone back to Panama and provided $10 million in reparations payments to Panama. Reparations to Panama    Background: U.S. helped Panama secede from Colombia in 1903 (Office of the historian, 2023). Secured control of the Panama Canal Zone in 1904 (Library of...
