The Alabama Christian Reparations Project is getting 5% and about to buy the first computer.
We now also have the Christian Slave Freedom Project, dedicated to freeing slaves in Africa. Also at 5%.

In John 3:19 we read, ". . . men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." The "light" represented in this text is Jesus Christ, but he further represents all that is right in the universe.
So, as we do evil works, we can presume that we will develop a heart that turns its back on Jesus or "all that is right in the universe."

I agree that in no way will cheap computers make up for centuries of slavery & racial oppression... But.... it is a start... albeit a small one... More importantly, the offer could be construed as an "acknowledgement" that I think we should celebrate as one small step for Mankind (or at least the folks directly making the offer).

Thank you for your invitation however in light of the fact that you
choose not to aknowledge my concern that you would attempt to
"UNDERMINE" (your words)
the Reparations Movement, by attempting to buy off and mislead the
poverty stricken, mis-educated (ACSR) Afrikan Captive Survivor Refugees
of Montgomery Alabama, by giving out cheap computers,

We have one man planning to cash in on a $319 donation to that project to get a computer on its way to an African American child under the age of 18 whose parents can't afford a computer. These computers will increase literacy.

As I crossed Alabama in the TAX MARCH, I found many black families in gross poverty. Among the black church members I visited with, I found a strong pro Socialist/ Communist bent in their thinking.
