^^ Speculation. And more importantly, I do not think it matters.
The list obviously represents her vision for what restitution could look like.
All of our opinions and ideas are shaped and informed by what we read, and from listening to people we respect or place value on.
There is not a single Plato, Aristotle, or Descartes on this board, capable of brilliant ideas and insight through the power of intellectual force exercised within a pure vacuum. And that is true even if some jpp dot com posters are legends in their own minds.
The takeaway from this thread is this:
An actual black person presented a vision of restitution, composed of tangible actions which any fair-minded person would admit are either reasonable, or at least worthy of mature deliberation even if ultimately rejected.
In stark contrast, white dude in the OP created a trollish and transparently disingenuous post claiming to present an idea for restitution, but which we all know was an insincere attempt to paint black people in a bad light. To make it seem as if all they are interested is sticking their hands out in anticipation of wads of cash being handed to them.
Cypress: "Speculation. And more importantly, I do not think it matters."
Jack: It's somewhat important in that I view TTQ as a 'Black CFM', and that the 'List' is something that we could all look at as 'reasonable'. 'Black CFM' is NOT reasonable but Afro-centric.
Cypress: "The list obviously represents her vision for what restitution could look like. "
Jack: Apparently you have not been reading along. Her 'vision' is that it applies to BLACK people.
see--->"From the List:
"Cash Bail hurts 'Poor People'.
Check the Box refers to Ethnicity.
Redlining is used to discriminate."
from TTQ:
"Cash Bail hurts 'BLACK People'.
Check the Box refers to BLACK people.
Redlining is used to discriminate against BLACK people."
Cypress: "An actual black person presented a vision of restitution, composed of tangible actions which any fair-minded person would admit are either reasonable, or at least worthy of mature deliberation even if ultimately rejected."
Jack: I agree. (as long as we understand 'Black CFM' isn't the originator of the 'ideas')

Jack; Hmmmmm ... gambling in Casa Blanca ... SHOCKING!
