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

[Bunchy Carter]

Oh no, how dare he JOIN a movement to give gay people rights.

Are you saying the LGBTQ struggle is the same has the Black stuggle?

The LGBTQ deserves the same right as Black people?

No nikka and neither did John Lewis. He added support, he wasn't protesting or coordinating demonstrations.

Tariq handles things at a grassroots level that's visible to the average person. He's a hustler and a businessman but I don't hold that against him. He serves his purpose as everyone should. Is he perfect...no...but no one is.

John Lewis, I just don't see it. Though he had access to the system at a different level than even Tariq. If he did things for black people they aren't visible. And playing that political game where you draft bills and then go have lunch with the same crackas who shoot them down for 50 years....no.

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

I’m indifferent towards this nikka but it seems like he keeps busy

No John Lewis saw the gay rights movement as the same as the civil rights movement




The gay rights movement is not the same as the civil rights movement

 

[motion order]

True black empowerment CANNOT BE SPONSORED BY WHITE LIBERALS LIKE JOHN LEWIS WAS.

This black woman actively said that black people need to embrace "black nationalism"......John Lewis would NEVER say something so bold and profound to our youth that is geared towards true black empowerment.​

​

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.

So he writes, or co-sponsors bills and takes them to the floor. What do you think happens then? Cacs bow down and give in?

Who's congressional record are we comparing his to? Surely not Tariq's.

I doubt you have many examples considering congress involves trying to pass bills through 99 other people, many with opposing agendas. And this country elects racists regularly

He has a 100% voting record on civil rights bills so within the capacity of his job he's been on code.

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.

 

[NatiboyB]

Cause that fukk nikka went at John Lewis the day after he died, so we on his neck.

Ain’t no we it’s just you. Tariq is good with me...Just because you don’t agree with someone doesn’t mean you need to be on their neck.

 

[invalid]

Oh damn! after further analysis he only paid for a memorial! Tariq aint shyt!


shyt is pathetic.

The fact that he and his minions deceptively let the rumor spread that he paid for all of her funeral expenses because her family was not in the position to do so, without checking it.......yeah he and *y'all* ain't shyt.

For the 3738377338th time. Congressman cannot pass laws by themselves. They are one vote of 200+. How many times in 55 years did they have a majority in Congress and a super majority in the senate with a president that wouldn’t veto their bill? You idiots think it so easy to change and create new laws in this country. I implore you to RUN FOR A SEAT IN CONGRESS and DO SOMETHING since you think this shyt is so easy and you have all the answers compared to elders who have been doing this for decades.

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.

Where does the 55 years come in?

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.

Those mobile goal posts, though.

People are being disingenuous with the "name 1 thing he did" line. That's youtuber chatter ring repeated.
