AMERICA, GIVE AFRICAN AMERICANS BOOTS WITHOUT STRAPS AND WATCH THEM BLOSSOM!

During Reconstruction, 1865 to 1877
formerly enslaved Africans
were promised 40 acres — Boots
and one mule — Bootstraps — but
not one formerly enslaved African was given
a Boot, let alone, a Boot with straps.

Jim Crow, 1877 to 1950, said, “no way José”
and immigrant white peasants who
were shipped in the millions from Europe
were given Boots — Land — and Bootstraps
in the form of farm Education — Land Grant Universities,
leaving formerly enslaved Africans empty-handed.

These newly immigrant, peasant Whites
from Europe failed to pull themselves up
with their Bootstraps and Education
making the US Government to again step in
and pull them up with farm subsidies
thereby guaranteeing riches without work.

Currently, the less than one percent of
formerly enslaved Africans left in
in the farming industry
who pulled themselves up without Boots or
Bootstraps are being sued by descendants of the
immigrant, peasant White farmers enjoying subsidies
to exclude them from the US Farm Subsidy Programs.

If these hardened formerly enslaved Africans
pulled themselves up without Boots or Bootstraps
imagine the present wealth of formerly enslaved Africans
if the Racist and Hatist US Government had given
just Boots, without bootstraps, to
all eligible formerly enslaved Africans.

America, it is never late to give Bootstraps — Reparations
to formerly enslaved Africans in America because
they pulled White Americans up with their
Bootstraps — uncompensated slave labor
and it is America’s turn to pull up formerly enslaved Africans in America with Bootstraps — Reparations — Fairness demands it!
