In the attached article from the\u00a0Atlantic\u00a0magazine, Ta-Nehisi Coates argues\u00a0that white supremacy is not\u00a0merely the work of hotheaded demagogues, or a matter of false consciousness, but a\u00a0force so fundamental to America that it is difficult to imagine the country without it.\u00a0And so we must imagine a new country. Reparations\u2014by which I mean the full\u00a0acceptance of our collective biography and its consequences\u2014is the price we must pay\u00a0to see ourselves squarely…\u00a0<\/p>\n
What I\u2019m talking about is more than recompense for past injustices\u2014more than a handout, a payoff, hush money, or a reluctant bribe. What I\u2019m talking about is a national reckoning that would lead to spiritual renewal. Reparations would mean the end of scarfing hot dogs on the Fourth of July while denying the facts of our heritage. Reparations would mean the end of yelling \u201cpatriotism\u201d while waving a Confederate flag. Reparations would mean a revolution of the American consciousness, a reconciling of our self-image as the great democratizer with the facts of our history.<\/p>\n
After reading the article on Black Reparations from the\u00a0Stanford Encyclopedia, the Coates article, and the article about Evanston Illinois, your team should evaluate whether reparations to African Americans are morally justified and, if so, what form they should take. Assess as well the practical and ethical problems that such a national action may present. Explicitly reference one or more of the moral theories we have studied in justifying your positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
