Ben Carson is a black conservative; a do for selfer. Many Black Americans, especially those of the entrepreneurial mindset and conservative, feel this way. He basically feels that if he was able to “make it out” and find success in this capitalist society, then other blacks should be able to do the same. What we have found out is that it’s not possible, and reparations is the only way to close that gap.

Honestly, I’d take what he says with a grain of salt.

Term limits will have to be instituted to get this approved in Congress

Low key it takes away our moral levage. After that if we fail its our fault. Only should accept it if it makes every black person a millionaire. But i doubt they would ever give a million dollars each to all of us.

He told the hard truth..but if reparations is the hill y’all want to die on so be it...

Most conservatives think minorities get too much as it is...
he makes a valid argument imo...it's been debated several times on this forum. The problem most people have is that they just don't like it coming from him.

Not surprised, this shut up and "cut the check" approach, has moved and continues to move the issue further off the table.:francis:
Brehs are really punting the redress push.
That said, if the "good whites" aren't on board, the rethugs definitely aren't.

34,000,000 black Americans. $200,000 each. Do the numbers. Can't compare us to Indian, Chinese, and Jews. They're populations are much smaller

We got a tough road ahead of us:francis:
