Black people...search your feelings. Do we think reparations can be effectively fought for in 2020?

A black man being president was a pipe dream before roughly ‘07

It's sad, especially with a vote like this happened last year.

Tim Kaine isn’t shy about his work as a fair housing lawyer. When he ran as the Democratic Party’s vice presidential nominee in 2016, the Virginia senator routinely touted his past pro bono efforts to help low-income families deal with shady landlords and racist lenders. Combined with his affable dork-dad delivery, Kaine helped shore up Hillary Clinton’s credibility on an ambitious anti-discrimination agenda. And it didn’t sound like empty politician talk: Kaine had done the work.

He still feels a connection with civil rights attorneys. “In representing people who are getting ripped off or who don’t have anybody else to stand up for them or who don’t even know the questions to ask or where to turn for help, you are the hero,” Kaine told a Washington gathering of the nonprofit National Consumer Law Center in November.

And on Monday, the Senate will hold a key vote on a Kaine-sponsored bill that deliberately undermines the government’s ability to enforce laws against racial discrimination in the housing market. The legislation would block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from collecting key data showing when and where families of color are being overcharged for home loans or steered into predatory products. It’s just one small provision in a broad financial deregulation package, which is almost certain to clear both chambers of Congress and receive President Donald Trump’s signature. Last week, 17 members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted to advance the bill.

The effort to chip away at anti-discrimination enforcement has largely gone overlooked this year, as banking watchdogs focused their criticism on the legislation’s rollback of tougher rules against risk-taking at megabanks that were implemented in response to the 2008 financial crisis. Both foreign financial conglomerates and big American regional lenders would enjoy lighter federal supervision if the bill passes.

To its opponents, the bill represents a contorted statement of values, prioritizing short-term bank profits over consumer protection and financial stability.

“This is a bad bill,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) told HuffPost. “No Democrat and no Republican should support it.”

He wants to uplift the AMERICAN people and not write checks to black people? Black people will benefit from his policies and so will everyone else?

Yup! I really think he's saying black people aren't American citizens. Remember what Atwater said. Sanders was speaking directly to his base.

Hillary won the pop vote by 3 million and the electoral by less than 70k.
But yeah they were wrong... That doesn’t mean you just blindly dismiss polling going forward

you obviously have not looked at the data from the 2016 election and also that part of the constiition that says something about electoral votes

i gotta ask, because im observing this. and im not gonna interject my opinion, no one cares about that

if you're a fervent anti trumper, trump has to be voted out at all costs in 2020, etc....knowing what we know about america, do you want the democratic nominee to explicitly run on reparations in 2020?

Candidates need to stop behaving as if African-Americans and their issues are radioactive and stop repackaging the same approaches as new solutions under the guise of "it'll help you too".

It doesn't matter if trump gets re-elected, trump or a republican winning should be filed under the shyt happens category
