Ice cube calls out shiela jackson about hr 40 bill. And those who say he unqualified

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

Im not sure what you’re trying to say.

me neither these days...

 

[Biscayne]

Was cube throwing shots at her when he posted that? I don’t know the back story.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

What I’m reading in this thread is

“We can’t demand anything specifically for Black people (except their vote) because it will make racist white people mad (and we need their vote also)”

Yes.

When you're 10% of Congress (barely) then you need to stop pretending you can run the board.

Democrats can't even get 100% of democrats to support reparations.

Time to push for something more incremental.

Rather die on a hill to nowhere.
Might as well start praying for Jesus to return...










...wait...

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

You didn't read the bills did you, don't lie, did you read the bills

I did. Care to tell me what the material difference is? There’s a handful of formatting changes, the preamble reads differently, and they sub in the state level equivalents for the federal offices/personnel mentioned. No one who read both those bills would talk shyt about HR40 and then take credit for the California one. The two are functionally identical.


In case anyone wants to call my bluff, here are the links to both bills:


Bill Text - AB-3121 Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans.


Text - H.R.40 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act

Service in their field of expertise


Is there something you want to juelz to me sir?


I hope none of the "regular guys" have MAGA's and Republicans as their elected representatives. Whole lot of southern posters in here trying to come for "experts" while Klansman politicans are standing on their shoulders.

the unfortunate truth

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Yes.

When you're 10% of Congress (barely) then you need to stop pretending you can run the board.

How did the civil rights act(s)/bills get passed?

talk to cardi b but say fukk ice cube brehs

That what pisses me off Cardi get into arguments with the right on twitter acting ghetto as hell or sit down with biden and says a bunch of nothing burgers and everyone got think pieces about how cardi can get into politics. But when Cube is coming out trying to get something for black folks moving foward its a bunch of bullshyt thrown at him.

 

[xoxodede]

Was cube throwing shots at her when he posted that? I don’t know the back story.

Time they started attacking him -- she was right there. So, I don't think it's just her -- it's everyone.

 

[Numpsay]

I can keep going.


What Joe Biden’s 15 Aug Policy Document Promises Indians in the US

Harris says Biden presidency will not condition aid to Israel

Joe Biden says his DACA proposal will help Asian Americans

Again is the expectation that we elect a president that will ONLY help black people?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

the unfortunate truth

There isn’t any truth in that statement. If so, I’m surely you can explain cause I know @Kenny West cannot

 

[Rollie Forbes]

Tbh its starting to sound like Ice Cube put his foot forward and people are mad they didn't get invited to the party.

This.

 

[xoxodede]

How did the civil rights act(s)/bills get passed?

 

[RedCloakBlackWraithe]

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.

they'd rather become establishment pets than to do what's necessary to empower blacks to gain true political power. claude anderson is the man with the plans that actually would work if blacks would unify in the way we operate with one another.

 

[JT-Money]

Again is the expectation that we elect a president that will ONLY help black people?

We should get the same amount of help proportional to our voting percentage for that party. If not then I guess they don't want or need upwards of 87% of our vote.


Down Ballot it is then.

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.

THIS.

"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.

Also THIS.

Black wealth and economic progress has been stagnant since the 60's. And black wealth is now projected to fall to 0 by 2053. It seems like the only thing these folks have been experts in the past 50 years is in failing black america.

That's right, blame the people who have been TRYING to overcome White supremacy but don't have the power or the numbers, instead of blaming the fools who had plenty of money and power but weren't even trying at all.

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.

The BIGGEST reason reparations is having any weight behind it right now is cause of what Coates has been doing since 2014. That's a documented fact. A major movement was building behind that for 2-3 years before "New Black Media" jumped onto the bandwagon with social media hype.
