Islam is at the heart of an emerging global anti-hegemonic culture that combines diasporic and local cultural elements, and blends Arab, Islamic, black and Hispanic factors to generate "a revolutionary black, Asian and Hispanic globalization, with its own dynamic counter-modernity constructed in order to fight global imperialism.

I would basically agree with alot of this. I would say the single biggest problem with reparations are the complex logistics involved with implementing them. Should it apply to all Blacks. All blacks whose descendants were slaves in the United States. What about West Indians? What about Afro-Latinos? What about biracial people? People who can pass? etc. But regardless of logistics, there is certainly a moral debt and the United States government certainly needs to be doing more to make sure that the rights and opportunities of all members of society are protected and promoted to the fullest degree.
