I notice that your list of "things" black people should do to "help" themselves includes nothing about what white people must do to “help” — heal — themselves. You are right, tho, in one respect: Black people do not want or need your "advice."

You should be talking to your white friends, your white neighbors, your white relatives, and your white co-workers to convince them to abandon their white arrogance, white privilege, and white supremacist attitudes and practices.

You should tell them...show them how they can and must pay us for services rendered and for enduring never-ending racial discrimination at their hands. Then..... actually pay us what you owe us.

But as I point out in the piece, and you acknowledge, white people will never admit or agree to reparations for black people for anything. That's just who you are.

Therefore, and again...since you refuse to pay us, the best thing you can do for black people is work on yourselves and just leave us alone.
