Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, February 06, 2002 12:04 PM Hypocrisy on the highest level Although I grieve with those who lost loved ones on September 11th I am appalled that the U.S. government has decided to pay reperations to the victims. How dare the United States pay money to the victims of the WTC attacks when they refuse to even consider reperations to the descendents of slavery. Without question the horrors that were committed in this country and by this country under the name of slavery was far worse than those that occured on September 11th. It should also be noted that the crimes of September 11th were committed by individuals who were not citizens of this country while the crime of slavery was not only committed by U.S. citizens but encouraged and protected by the United States Government. The effects of the attacks of September 11th will live with those families for years to come but the effects of slavery, black codes and Jim Crow will continue to divide this country forever. In closing by paying money the the families of the WTC vicitms while refusing to acknowledge the horrific acts and effects of slavery is another blatant example of the racism and contempt for African Americans that the United States Government continues to foster.
