Written and narrated by the host, Pablo, "Dear Negro" invokes centuries of African pain, suffering and bondage, to remind descendants of enslaved Africans about the savagery and horrors of chattel, plantation slavery and anti-black racism of that era. The latter, anti-black racism, persists to this day in America and around the world.

A world generally desensitized to the pain and suffering of Africans, of black melanated people.

A nation, among many, with a history of perpetrating vicious crimes against humanity, black and brown, with impunity.

A nation whose elected leaders lack the courage and resolve to approve H.R. 40, a legislative bill introduced by late Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, three decades ago. A bill to establish a commission to study and develop proposals for reparations.

Imagine that?

When will black voters in America wake up to the reality that America has no interest, so far, in holding itself accountable for the atrocities of chattel slavery?

That reparative justice should therefore be the single-issue to secure our votes.

No reparative justice.

No H.R. 40.

No vote.

Our ancestors deserve no less.
