You don't need a communications or political science or any other degree to be qualified to speak on politics. It's all publicly available information. But you should research and do due diligence to have well informed opinions. Especially if you are in a position of influence.

The problem with celebrity political punditry is that they often hear/read something and they just blab it out to millions of people while doing any type of fact finding.

I agree with this.. Cube had a better chance dragging the black caucus over this, than meeting with the republicans..

The credentials are impressive.


Now we should go check the quality of life of the Black people that live in those districts in Maryland and Ohio that she helped craft legislation for.

If we see that they’re prospering, then she’s definitely a voice worth listening to.

This is why I’m not a populist. The average person doesn’t know shyt and I don’t want the average person making decisions. If this makes me an elitist so be it but I have high standards for people who I want to represent me.

The thing is, populism doesn't happen overnight. Populism is typically a reaction to a system that isn't working. If all these experts, educated people, etc., contribute so much good to society, well a whole lot of us can't tell. And like Michelle Obama said,

"Here is the secret," she added. "I have been at probably every powerful table that you can think of, I have worked at nonprofits, I have been at foundations, I have worked in corporations, served on corporate boards, I have been at G-summits, I have sat in at the UN; they are not that smart."

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:


"LeGLisLATIvE AcCoMplisMEnTs"

They're like 55 of 435 house seats, up from like 13. What accomplishments have they supposed to have delivered? They can't block any vote. They definitely can't pass shyt without majority support...


I hate people who just be saying dumb ass shyt because it sounds good.:snoop:

Impressive :leon:

But why not work with Ice Cube to help draft something instead of shooting him down? All this back n forth is unnecessary because we need to be working together. Tbh its starting to sound like Ice Cube put his foot forward and people are mad they didn't get invited to the party.

"Teeth":what:


Its a bill meant to study and gather data. Why does it need teeth Cube?

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.

The average person doesn’t know nothing but you want a president who worships Grand Dragons of the KKK
