“If we get medicaid expanded, it’ll help communities of color”-Sen.Warnock on reparations

[Formerly Black Trash]

Guys, reparations will not happen.

Just…stop. It’s not happening.

Lemme stop voting

These guys need to get better at answering this question. It will always come up and if answered poorly, will always hurt them.

I dont know why people are not realizing the only way to win is to use that amazon brehs playbook to get shyt done.

Breh used an inclusive approach that seems to benefit everyone but on the low benefits black people the most.

With that specificity (not that there’s anything wrong with it) how do you expect to get reparations passed as an EXTREME minority with very little power as much of the black people in power don’t even qualify as ADOS. When we talk about the black population, black spending power and black voting power we’re usually talking about ALL black people regardless of background. How in God’s name will a marginalized minority (with very little power) convince a racist government to pay reparations.

Compromise will likely have to be made somewhere for anything close to reparations.

That extreme minority are the only ones due reparations from the US Government and the only people that will get it.

Native Americans received reparations. Japanese-Americans received reparations. Jews in Germany received reparations. Why is it always a strategic concern when reparations for the descendants of American slaves is under consideration?

So folks want the black man who’s really trying to help the people and just won by the skin of his teeth in racist ass GA to talk about this when it will used as a lighting bolt issue against him

So what if he had said hell yeah I’m for reparations and that’s my main goal. He gets trounced in the election and the main nikkas screaming about it like Tariq drone bees probably wouldn’t even go vote

When is a good time for a black politician to discuss reparations….never?

The issue to me is politicians insulting our intelligence as if only one topic can be accomplish at once

Some real take it or leave it vibe. That lets me know the political system is too far gone when you aren’t bending the knee to your constituents. They know who vote they got regardless of their plans

Democrats have become the party of playing defense even when they have the ball. And when it comes to black issues we are the sixth-man at best on the bench.

Its like paying $1000 for VIP at a concert and all they do it line you up to shake the artists hand backstage then send you back to the nosebleed seats. We've had too many black mayors, congressman, (male AND female) and Democratic controlled chambers over the past 10 years. Not supporting these excuses anymore.

 

[Loose]

Dems need over 60 seats to even make something like this realistic. Probably 65+ and a liberal supreme court

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

Wow what a pos. Poor blacks have always had health care in this country in the form of Medicaid and that's only so the cac corporations in the medical industry can eat off us.

nikkaz are idiots breh. can't pay half these morons on the internet any attention with their illogical militancy at times.

Also LOL at y’all trying to talk about reparations when Republicans talking about making interracial marriage illegal again .

These people gonna be chopping up the civil rights act in a few years and y’all talking about getting reparations. Damn, y’all wanna get reparations? Elect progressives to every part of government, that’s literally the only path to reparations. That’s it folks, that’s literally the only path

negged for making sense

You didn’t address anything I said. I don’t have any issue or qualms with what you’re saying here. It makes sense. My question is HOW is this extreme minority going to convince a racist government of this without garnering power from those who share struggles (though they are not identical by any means) or without compromising what you’re asking for.

Black people, even if you include non-ADOS, have very little power. Half of the black people who do have power aren’t pro-black. So what strategy will the rest of you use to get what you want?
