No... technically they are criminals.... and Biden has EXCLUSIVE policy on deck for criminals, but no exclusive policies for the American nikkas that built this country.... I want you to make that make sense
FWIW, kids who were brought here by others like DACA recipients ain't "technically criminals". There is no criminal law against being in the country without papers. There is a law against entering the country illegally (illegal entry is a misdemeanor), but if you were brought here as a minor by someone else, or if you came in legally then overstayed your visa, then you haven't violated that law. That's why immigration proceedings are civil cases, not criminal cases.

Why cape for Cube harder than he capes for himself? Plenty of Black entertainers have been vocal and impactful while handling their professional careers.

I dont knock him for getting involved, but timing is everything.

Oh but them “bots and interns” are listening to someone, because they have no problem articulating a specific agenda to protect the courts and female reproductive rights.

Well, what makes us "Special" is a debt is owed. We are dying, losing in every facet daily -- specifically from the history, laws and programs placed upon us. This country is because of us -- our ancestors and families. The stolen money, land, labor, opps -- etc is what makes America.

But, I agree. Whites are not gonna do anything -- why would they?

So, with that being said -- why do people push Black men and women to vote?

We can't say they aren't going to do anything for us -- and what makes us "special" (even though the WORLD knows why we are special) -- then tell (well...demand) those same people to vote for those same people/system.

THAT Is the MAIN reason many Black people don't vote.

If they saw a change, a specific change for them -- they would come out in numbers. That is why they came out for Obama. They THOUGHT he would do that.

All in all, voting needs to be an exchange -- an equal one. FOR ONCE. And exchange means more Black men and women voting!
You're right there is a debt that's owed to us and America wouldn't be America without us however white folks don't have conscious when it comes to black folks suffering...which is why I've learned not to expect much from them when it comes to giving black ppl anything beneficial for the long term.

The reason why it's important for black ppl to have a say politically is because regardless of our conditions and debts being owed...we still gotta live here everyday which means we aren't exempted from laws that could affect possibly our employment, health, neighborhoods, taxes, etc. The little things may not mean much but it matters unless you plan on living off the grid...which is impossible.

First, I vote, encourage voting and voted.

But, the system is racist and already -- and has historically been set up that way.

I disagree. Those Black men and women who don't vote (Presidential) -- will directly tell you that they don't vote cause they don't see any change when they do. It's been like that for generations. Which is sad -- but I understand -- and will not shame.

In addition, I am sure more Black men and women vote locally and state - cause it directly affects their communities and they can see change. And that is where more Black men and women vote.

I love the idea of a SuperPac -- many have tried and want too. I also am in a group with fellow ADOS who are working together to prepare to start one.

Exchange for our vote. Specifics.

I said that he could have spoken on it AT ANY POINT between then and now. The bill was first introduced when he was 19, he apparently started having issues with it at the age of 51. Literally his entire adult life went by before he decided that it needed to be fixed.

What age do you think is old enough to start getting politically engaged?

What is the average age for those who aren’t in politics directly.... politics is theater at its finest, and if you’re not directly in the play, you need leverage/influence to get your voice heard...... He could’ve spoke on it 10 years ago, but what difference does it make now vs then?

the real truth about cube is that there have been rumors surrounding him for years that he was a hardcore conservative. I 1st heard the rumors probably 15+ years ago. there's nothing wrong with being a R.

Oh word?

Name them? :popcorn3:What laws?

Where is the "white woman law" being proposed by Biden? Since wealth only comes from specific language of tangibles right?

Great response. And I truly think more Black people vote locally - more than anything cause it directly affects them -- and they see the consequences.

There is never a wrong time to speak up for your people. Nor engage in change.

We all "cape" for ourselves. But, we can also "cape" for others -- especially when we see they really need help.
