"This is good, family. Trump doesn't want the states to shortchange us. He wants to oversee things to make sure the money is distributed fairly amongst the FBA family and to ensure the funds don't go into the hands of tethers who have been used by the Democrats to undermine us, nyehhh."

No, it would be controlling local offices and creatively getting it going. Reparations in Evanston, Illinois is/was very small and is funded by the legalization of weed in the city. Lineage based and all with over $5 million given in 4 years time. Black people would have to be incredibly active in local politics.

That said, in THIS current environment? fukk no. Bigger fish to fry and the last thing you want is the federal government to turn your city and/or state against you because he is pulling funding from the whole shyt just to stop your reparations efforts. People pushing for that kind of tangible in 2025 are delusional and willing to fukk everything up for something that won't happen right now.
Not to mention local people voted for this but fukk them.

I guess it is just pure stupidity.

But this wave of emptyheadedness transcends race, gender, and political orientation.

Trump ain't even slick. He says all the bullshyt out loud and says it again and again. But people act surprised when he does the shyt.

I just assume #bothsides aren't actually Black people but disinformation bots. But. If any of y'all are actually Brehs: come to Black Jesus. Surely you can see how misguided it was to think "punishing" the Dems will lead anywhere helpful for Black people.

By the time Trump is done, not only will we not gain anything, we will have lost everything we built so far.

I can't help but have pure hatred for anyone who didn't try to stop this madness.

Some of y'all still don't understand that a lot of these “no tangibles, no vote,” “reparations or bust,” etc. individuals were never really serious about these matters in the first place; they were likely closeted Trumpers/MAGA supporters looking to create apathy.

They're not stupid, and this news isn't a revelation or a “moment of truth” to them as they knew better than you and I that those stances had a 1 in 1000 percent chance of gaining legitimate traction, especially in this current state of politics where race-based policies are under attack by conservatives. They just used these matters to grandstand, virtue signal, and create diversions during election season, in other words, it's a good emotional talking point to sway opinions.

Notice how since that's passed, all that huffing and puffing about tangibles/reparations disappeared, as well as some of the ones that mysteriously vanished after backing those sentiments, but don't worry, the shtick will be back in full swing by midterms, and onwards.

Republicans are getting rid of symbols of black empowerment & cutting diversity programs. Yet the “hold my vote”/bothsiders dumbasses really believed the GOP was the ticket to reparations? They can’t be this dumb.


Reparations will never happen as long as one side hates our existence. The Tariq nut hangers really believe you can bully democrats into giving out checks but that shyt needs bi-partisan support, which never happen.
