If Black people specifically aint gonna get something we dont need to fukk with him either...despite what Killer Mike says. All that wealth and resources Whites got with the Homestead Act, Head Right Program ect. Its only fair that we get our share too...aint like they didnt promise it in the first place.:childplease:

Do you guys really think Bernie will make changes?:martin:

Yall do realize the president has little to no real power right? Every law he wants passed would have to have the "go" by the 1%. Which WON'T HAPPEN.
A Trump presidency would be entertaining on Rob Ford levels. At least I won't have to put up with it. :ehh:

Which policies do you think have the greatest chance of working? And if you can, any direct benefit for black people?

No one has no way of knowing WHICH ones but it will happen just like every other presidency. Things like affordable education, housing, regulating banks, drug reform, etc could have benefits depending on the compromises.

Right, but couldn't I just easily dismiss any of the policies advocated by Sanders, just as he did for reparations with things such as: Nil chance of passing through Congress. Majority of Americans won't support these policies. Will cost us seats in the 2018 Midterms and may cost us the 2016 elections.

Yeah
Aha! That's the problem. Are you voting for political parties relevant to your needs/concerns? If not, black people like yourself may have to think about how we can end the two party system.
Well it will take awhile for that to happen so Ima vote for Bernie while it happens because ain't nobody else worth voting for and it would be dumb not to vote at all.

But thinks he can pass universal single-payer healthcare/trillion dollar spending bill in a Republican dominated Congress.

Why Is Bernie Sanders Against Reparations?

Coates:


And:


I think it's time Black people start our own party to stand in Congressional elections in the very least.
:francis:

Claude Anderson recommended this in the 80s. I still don't understand why we haven't done it. Both the Democratic and the Republican parties were created by white people and for white people.
