Let A Fro Be A Fro

Legit progressive/socialist cacs have been awfully quiet about reparations until now.
Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk is one of biggest political commentators on YouTube. He co-founded Justice Democrats, which is a big reason certain elected officials (such as AOC) do not take corporate PAC money and support policies such as Medicare for All, Green New Deal, etc.
In summary, he acts as if all of the reparations talk lately is completely the work of rich, anti-Bernie Democrats/media members. He either ignores or is completely ignorant of all of the work done by independent Black media(despite claiming to be ALL ABOUT independent media) as well as Black academics to push reparations to the forefront. I'm guessing the former, as The Young Turks(which Kyle is apart of) covered an Inequality Town Hall with Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Moore, and Black economist and reparations supporter Darrick Hamilton. He tweeted the video last year.
Starting around 55:27, Darrick Hamilton starts talking about how broad leftist/socialist programs WILL NOT help budge the racial wealth gap. Sanders definitely did not want to discuss that AT ALL.
Near the end, Kyle goes starts to with his "rising tide lifts all boats" "AMERICAN descendants of slavery? But how will it work? What if you're mixed? What if you're a Black immigrant from Jamaica?" shyt.
Mike Figueredo runs the Humanist Report, which has hundreds of thousands of followers.
He largely agrees with Kyle, though he does show the clip of the reporter actually getting Kamala Harris to admit she's not going to do a damn thing for Black people. Kyle acted as if the ENTIRE media was harder on Bernie than Kamala and Warren on reparations. He also actually supports reparations, most of the white progressives in the comments section, however
