Can someone point me to the work Tariq Nasheed has put in for the cause?

[Kenny West]

In 55 years, what are 5 bills that became law and clearly helped black people? Not exclusively, just significantly. Carter was in office, Clinton was in office, Obama was in office. And still no one can name 5, much less 1.

Strange.

This is a bizarre jump in topics

But to answer the question (unlike you)

-Voter rights legislation
- Legislation to undo the explotive elements of the crime bill repubs added like madatory minimums
-legislation for federal funding for HBCU's (arguably the reason they're still around)
- legislation to protect against housing discrimination
-legislation against predatory loans



Ultimately tho the bigger question is how many of your rights do you take for granted

Whats strange about it? Republicans exist and spend long careers voting against civil rights legislation or make bills to turn it back. The ineffectiveness of our politics is hampered by partisanship creating constantly seesawing legislation. Look at the history of voting rights since black people got the right to vote. Our current admin just rolled back black voter rights...again.

Im not even sure what point you're trying to make but perhaps it would be a good idea to become familar with how our legislative system works before continuing you sound kinda clueless

I thought he was a Rep. since immediately post Civil Rights era also, but he's been in that office since 88.

5 Laws that clearly helped Black people (with JL's vote) wouldn't be hard to find, unless the goal posts have wheels. The education and school loan laws passed during his terms would qualify for that.

Now we're getting somewhere. 17 pages of clowns talking about only 1 person gave a list. Ok. So 5 laws in 32 years. Education and school loan laws, I'm assuming at 2 separate laws.

I'm not worried about YT talk. That's for other people. If someone can come in this thread and give a list of 10 concrete things Tariq has done for black people, then surely every John Lewis stan or admirer here can give 5 bills turned law that has significantly helped black people.

I or other people that have asked repeatedly are not asking anyone to walk on water.

17 pages to answer that question. Geezus. Great. Thank you. G'night.

When I post that list, then what happens?

 

[Dzali OG]

So you can see the purpose Tariq serves but when it comes to John lewis, it's nahhh he didn't do shyt.

Well actually he served his purpose. His purpose just isn't visible and relevant to the average black person.

Someone has to go play fight in congress and then have lunch with them.

 

[dj-method-x]

Every other congressman seems to be able to pass laws. But now suddenly this man, a civil rights icon, can't gather enough votes from his own party to make a bill into a law? In 55 years?

I implore you to stop being dense and actually think about what you're saying.

what congressman has passed a law by themselves? Name ONE in the history of the United States and I’ll ask the mods to ban me right now.You have no idea how the Congress works and you’re in here talking completely out of your ass. Par the course for Tariq Nasheed’s idiot coli disciples

 

[Dzali OG]

Like what?

Things are already posted...

For the simple fact he's on social media makes him more valuable in this day. Something a lot of the old guard have a problem with. Such as the case with Yvette and NCOBRA.

People like Tariq and Yvette can get more done in 6 months than the old school could in 50 years! It's fukked up and a tuff break but...it's just facts.

And alotta old school pissed about that. A person can sit in their house and influence thousands or millions from the comfort of their home. While they had to go walk in the hot sun, and knock on doors, and get chased by police.

Nah my dude, ya'll listed 10 things Tariq did for black individuals. List included "helped ____ mama" We are talking actual national shyt, that will create change and help a large number of the black community when it comes to John Lewis. But lets be 100 with this. Since John Lewis didn't make college free for every black person, give us reparations, give us all free healthcare, etc etc he didn't do anything since the Civil Rights era. You won't even acknowledge how politics work. It reminds me of when white people say "well you have every opportunity that I have" and ignore the obstacles the black community faces. It's Black or white, did or didn't, no distractions. In that case, we should just all pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and don't ask for anything from politicians or this country. Nor complain, just get it how you live.

Nah play fighting is tweeting all day and avoiding putting in actual work. Not attending one damn protest but yet dissing protesters. He a hustler though, so I respect him gaming nikkas like you. Real pimp shyt.

Point is, "actual work" is a different thing today.

Tariq has more influence in 6 months with the people than John Lewis can have in 30 years. His tweeting can get national discussions in weeks on important issues while John Lewis may had some good ideas no one know about.

 

[Will Ross]

Tariq ain’t did shyt. You can’t name one thing that he has done that created positive change?

This might be the dumbest shyt I read on here in a minute.

To you it may be...

It's 2020.

You may think a person working from their home on a laptop isn't work. It isn't legit work unless they go work in a factory.

It's 2020.

You're fighting the good fight in this thread. I will never understand why Black people would readily confine themselves to a movement, an ideology, where one would have to get a law passed just to be treated like a human being.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

This didn't include Black people 244 years ago, and it still doesn't today. And there is nothing in America's and the whiteman's history that would make one think that it ever will.

Truth be told, a lot of the concessions the Civil Wrongs Movement got, were given in order to steer Black people away from the Black Nationalist and Separatist Movements.

We have people in this thread talking about legislation that, may or may not get passed, may or may not be adhered to, may or may not get renewed when the time comes, may or may not actually pan out in Black people's favor. That's a vicious cycle that will keep Black people as 2nd class citizens, at best, and stifle any notion of self-determination.

​

Exactly

That's a state issue, John Lewis was a Federal congressman

In a way you’re right. He showed that when he led everyone in getting kamala harris up outta there. they woulda been able to get her thru not so long ago without people like Tariq and social media.
