1. Nothing about HR 40 dictates who receives anything, its to study and come up with a number

2. Who cares? People get egregious government contracts everyday.

3. Again, HR 40 is just to study and come up with the dollar amount.

1. In the bill, the recipients are listed as blacks or African Americans(black and AA are listed as interchangeable on govt documents like the census)

2. Them getting bags is alarming, when it could mean they're there just to get paid and not fix our wealth level.

3. It's listed as a study now, but it's important there's a commitment to allocating a $10T package to ADOS. If we as ADOS don't Hammer it down, the "commission" could decide that reparations could just be $1T in money to HBCUs(that's what Julianne Malveaux was hinting at the HR 40 hearing).

The sole reason these discussions are happening is because of supposed laymen in the new black media who’ve spurred a debate on issues that these policy “experts” avoid for fear of alienating white liberal allies. She worked for the Congressional Black Caucus, whose list of legislative accomplishments on behalf of the black agenda can be written on the palm of my hand.

:mjgrin:
Gotta keep our foot on these white liberals and Democ00n lapdog's necks.
:wow:

They really thought shyt was sweet and they could skate by again without discussing any tangibles. Cube probably got them sweating bullets this close to the Election.
:mjlol:

I hate that this is going to devolve into a bunch of black folks fighting each other. Initially I was real pissed at Cube bc it seemed to me that he was willingly allowing himself to be used. Maybe there is a part of it that he was taken advantage of by some real slick politicos, but the thing that keeps bugging me a little bit is that he doesn't seem to be willing to concede the counter argument. That and his willingness to give trump the benefit of the doubt is kinda troubling.

At the same time, the response by the ivory tower types is not helpful at all. Esp since most of these people have ZERO connection to the poor/working class that continues to be decimated by both republicans and democrats. spouting off a bunch of degrees and shyt in this situation will do nothing but ensure that black folks whose intentions are pure, end up getting turned off to their ideas.

It's the worst part about it all. I see people calling Cube a c00n and all other shyt and it bothers me to the core. I think his intentions are good and he's really trying to connect with someone in congress to make something happen for black people but the powers that be want to make him out to be everything but a child of god.

i mean.... he kinda showing his amateur. he literally been patting himself on the back (deserved in my opinion) for whatever he did to help pass the law in california, then turn around and criticize it on a national level. is he going to back track on parts of the cwba in a few weeks too? he needs to take a break and focus on one thing. read and UNDERSTAND what is written. go from there
He didn't criticize it, the point he was making is that when he used his celebrity status to push THEIR shyt, they didn't care about his lack of credentials, now that he made his own waves now they want to say he not qualified.

1. It should have to go purely to ADOS, the bills language has it going to all blacks.

2. The commissioners would be getting six figure salaries. N'COBRA and NAARC plotting to get bags for being on the commission. Ppl on it should only get money for travel and board.

3. No dollar amount attached, we know reparations starts at least $10T, the bill should have a minimum allocation w/ cash payments.

Thank you.

In this scenario, the Black community is the plane that’s crashing towards the Everglades. The pilot is saying “ Trust me, I’ve been doing this for 50 years”.

Thankfully we got beautiful women like Erica Lashai on our side:wow:Of course wenches call her a "Pick Me"





There’s way more chicks that think like her, they just don’t get social media attention.

Those blavity blacks are immigrants and educated negroes that don’t like black people anyway

They're far from the majority, they just hopped on social media and controlled it back when regular black folks thought it was lame.

i dont care what happened after the fact. the first tweet he put out he said it needed to be changed. to my knowledge he helped it pass as is in his state and applauded the governor and the representatives and himself for doing so. now he wants to change it. seems like he didn't understand it. if you dont understand what your pushing, then you may not be qualified.

it takes a long process to amend things that get signed into law, meanwhile resources are being used and people are hungry

but now that i think of it, he seems to be following the professional politican route. support one thing, then when you have an opportunity to present something in your own name that is slightly different, go back and criticize the thing you previously supported. he learns fast! :pachaha:

Again, people hate Roland Martin, but Roland can get any US Senator on his INTERNET POLITICAL SHOW... none of them can.

Until these anonymous youtubers can do anything near that, that speaks for itself :ufdup:

He can get Jesus on his show.. If he cant press government to get the ball rolling towards tangibles for black people, he's just entertaining when he's supposed to be working..

I seen that interview with Roland and Cube.. I was with Roland 100% until he brought that black woman on their to put Cube in a tight jam.. That discredited any dialog him and Cube was having before that..

To me that makes Rolland a snake..

Here's Cube speaking with April Ryan back in August. One of the things that was said from April is she got a text message from someone in the Biden campaigned that said they would like to speak with Cube, Cube said he doesn't really wanna speak with no one but the candidates(Trump or Biden), but we learn Cube have spoken with neither candidates and with people from the Trump campaigned.
