Black Supremacy: Craft an African American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

Why this special treatment for this group and not for others? Why this obsession with skin color? Similar things happened to other people as well!

They want Native Americans and black Americans be treated equally?

"... We propose in addition the creation of an African American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (AAGPRA), modelled on existing federal legislation for Native American remains and cultural items. ...
There are still no federal protections specifically for historic Black cemeteries. ...
Pause the unethical study and use of Black remains in collections. ... Efforts should first exhaust all non-invasive methods to find known descendants or representative descendant groups, so that they can be consulted closely on giving consent for inventories or repatriation. ..."

Craft an African American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act Universities and museums must catalogue the remains of Black Americans in their collections, and pause research pending consultation with descendant communities.
