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.
Because they look down on dudes like Cube and they have no intention of helping black communities. Cube is fukking up their bag. Cube is exposing how little someone like her actually accomplishes.

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.


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.

SHE TRIED TO!

Cube was on Roland's show back in August! And Roland told Cube to start meeting with activists and leaders and actual experts to flesh his bullshyt out... HE DID NOT

He also said he isn't trying to work with any organization that isn't focused on helping black people. Its unfortunate, but the term "activist" has started to lose it meaning. People will call themselves an activist, but really do so for self so it's hard to trust people.

People are mad that he's tryna do something in a short period of time that they've been trying to do for years.

We're still in the minority so we need experts knowing how to leverage whatever we have to get as much as we can.

This is what you don't get.

The CBC is the largest its ever been...and its only like 55 people. Theres 435 members of the House of Representatives. 12% of the House. 9% of Congress including the Senate. Congressional Black Caucus - Wikipedia
What exactly has she accomplished though? that's the point. That resume but Ice Cube came through with a plan (that he worked with experts on) and Cube made waves. These people literally sit around not doing shyt. This reminds me of back in the summer how Obama was out here trying to inspire people that were already inspired and out in the streets when we need him to use his political expertise and degrees to draw up documents. These people make it look like their whole agenda is to stall out real black agendas.Everytime.

Politics is a tough game. There are a lot of moving pieces. I think Cube means well, but this aint it.
There’s no doubt that it’s a tough game but what exactly are civilians supposed to do if they don’t feel they’re being represented? And black folks have been discarded by these party’s for votes with nothing to show for it. So what do you suggest one should do? I’m legitimately curious bc I’m not that versed in politics beyond maybe a surface level

I have underachieved.... I should be worth 8 figures by now.... Still brighter than you by a significant stretch though.... and the only standard you’re referring too are credentials, not results.... which is the standard that matters the most... you slow as fukk tho so I expect you say mildly retarded shyt and flaunt it as something poignant
You will show respect in our interactions at a bare minimum.

5% of PhDs in political science were by black people in 2017: https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf19301/assets/data/tables/sed17-sr-tab022.pdf

You WILL show respect. PERIOD.

The same thing that people who at their strongest are barely 10% of congress can ever pass. Incremental progress.

Why do yall want us to reverse 400+ years of bullshyt in a few years?

also idk how he can criticize hr40 when he literally just applauded the state of california for passing the same legislation. did he not know what it was at the time?
:huhldup:

ITS THE EXACT SAME BILL, he tellin on himself lol
pullin a thecoli.com move


the point is when he leant his name to THEIR agenda, they didn't give a fukk about credentials. Now when it's a black grass roots agenda..."nikka you need to have several seats. Periodt!"

Another issue I have all these other plans is that they focus on POC as a whole and other minorities. Like why is it that when black people try to get something for themselves they want to include everyone else?

Look at the panel for reparations in CA. Not one normal black person. Its filled with other minorities and the black people up there is gay or is in a relationship with a cac. I highly doubt these people have the everyday black person in their best interests.
