The officer then asks, "Are you praying?" to which she responds, "I might be praying in my head." The officer then asks her if she’d be willing to go to the station for questioning about her actions. "If I’ve got a choice, then no," she responds, after which the officer states, "You're under arrest" and claims she’s charged with "suspicion of failing to comply with Public Spaces Protection Order."\\

Dear all that is holy and right. This is nothing short of nazi gestapoism.

Resurrecting the Promise of Forty Acres

Is Stanford volunteering to split it's campus into 40 acre tracts and dole them out? Don't talk the talk if you're not willing to walk the walk.

Sorry for the long rant to follow. As a longtime genealogist, I know full well the naivety of such an attempt to "prove" African ancestry, nationwide. During slavery, if you were 50% white, or greater, you gained land and estate rights. And by the way, slaves did have some basic rights. In my county, in 1854, a slaveowner was hanged for murdering a slave (I can provide documentation).

Now they will return to proving percentage slave to gain reparations.

I've done several family trees for slave descendants and it's not easy. First there are Africans that came to America during the colonial period as free people. My own 6 Great Aunt was an African princess from Sierra Leone. She married a white British officer (my family) of the Royal African Company. Their daughter came to Charleston and married a British Surgeon. Her niece, a free African, came with her and took a free African husband. I have dozens, if not hundreds, of African cousins buried near Lake Moultrie in a family cemetery. I doubt they will be eliminated from reparations despite being free from slavery. I have another line of African cousins in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. The slaveowner (blood kin) had an amiable relationship with one of the slaves and their descendants proudly display their lineage on a family webpage.

Charleston is considered one of primary slave ports, but many don't realize that 2/3s of Charleston's population were of African descent in 1860 (see 1860 Federal Census). The largest congregation of free Africans on the Census resided in Charleston.

Another point of contention is slave descendants with European ancestors. There is a lot of mixed race blood (includes Native Americans) in people claiming African ancestry.

This is often assumed to be by the slaveowner raping a slave. If it was a large plantation it was more likely the overseer doing the raping. But are mulatto (mixed race census identifier) slave descendants getting punished for being descendants of slaveowners? Do descendants of slaveowners get reparations for being blood kin to slaves?

I have a first cousin, twice removed, that's a descendant of both slaves and slaveowners. Are reparations paid out?

The primary source for determining former slaves is the 1870 Census (they suddenly appear for the first time as a named person). Problem is many former slaves packed their bags and left where they were in 1860, or picked an obscure surname. And in 1860 slaves were listed on slave schedules under the slaveowner. It's not easy to transition from one census to the other. Even if it was still 1870, such a endeavor would be monumental. Trying to do so now is utter insanity.

Sorry for the rant. I suspect this is simply Stanford's attempt to bolster Newsome's presidential hopes, and pandering for votes. Reparations are over a century and a half too late to even be remotely accurate.
