Bernie Sanders Thinks Reparations Won't Work...

[UncleTomFord15]

Do you guys really think Bernie will make changes?

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.

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.

A Trump presidency would be entertaining on Rob Ford levels. At least I won't have to put up with it.

All of them don't have to work, just some. Most of which are non-starters for Clinton.

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

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Why tho?

Reparations is just as likely to exist as his vision of a socialist America according to Sanders. The same reasons he used to dismiss reparations can equally apply to his socialism.

Who else Ima vote for?

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.

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.

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.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Every interview with him is just a spitting repeat of his last one.

 

[TEH]

Bernie you have a little cac on your face let me wipe that off for you.

 

[Poitier]

Black people are only 12-14% of the population. We will never be a major parties main concern. In fact, Bernie is going out of his way to talk about this stuff. Harsh truth.

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.

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.

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.
