Julian Castro just said on MSNBC that "Descendents of Slaves" deserve reparations

[eXodus]

They owe so much more

In all seriousness, You’re totally right brother.

Starting with student loan amnesty and tax exemption would be reasonable though

Offer a GI bill like program to either pay off existing loans or to cover tuition. And descendants of slavery don’t have to pay taxes For a specified time

It’s interesting that a Mexican American is literally not beating around the bush, but Jamaican Kamala Harris is stuttering and Cory Booker an actual AA who himself and his family would be positively affected by this is Juelzing talmbout “Americans”

Unlike the others you mentioned, Castro is a minor candidate who is just trying to build up his name recognition

He doesn't have much to lose

And cacs/c00ns insisted tariq was a niche commentator.

Are we really giving Tariq credit over Yvette? She was the catalyst behind the whole idea that we have to identify mainly with our ethnic group. Tariq hopped on the wave .

Democrats worried about black turnout will say about anything to keep black voters under their tent. This is just pandering.

We deserve reparations, but understanding how that will drastically impact the Capitalist Political economy of this country, I don't put any trust on Whites giving us reparations. I don't think it will be legislated. It will take some sort of revolutionary movement that probably includes violence to force the issue.

I can only trust America to be what it has always been and what it continues to be.

Big Facts

I can't believe you nikkas actually be believing these politicians. After all we been through as a people in this country you actually trust them on their word? Don't get it twisted, I understand this is owed to us and I hope we actually can get it but to actually believe America the country that has done every abominable act to us will all of a sudden for no apparent reason hand us our check is foolish in my opinion. 400+ years of evidence and y'all still trusting the words of America. So don't get mad at me for naturally not trusting America to deliver because they never have for us. After they get your vote and we're looking for them reparations they'll hit us with .

trump having a tuff time just to get funding for a fukking wall..imagine how hard it'll be for a president to get funding for reparations

we gotta realize that we are not the majority in this country..the majority in this country will not vote for ANYTHING that directly benefits us black folks and black folks only

 

[KingJudah2]

fukk all of them they were NOT talking about this until they started running.

That’s a clear indication of pandering.

They had all their entire polictical careers to bring up reparations yet all of them are just now bringing it up as they run for President.

Fake.

People usually wait for politicians to define the issues. Now the issues are being defined for them. It's not pandering as much as recognizing what needs to be done to get into office.

All of new black media is following Yvette and Tones lead. They've been the most consistent with their information and messaging.

na thats weak AF

this is why i said "start" my previous post said they owe far more than this

If that's the case this country can burn miserably.

good find. We gotta vet these nikkas properly


i didnt make this thread to say we should all support Julian, it's just good to know what all these candidates are saying and to pay attention as the campaigns move forward. Good shyt on the fact check tho

edit:


Fact checking the fact check

The double fact check I'm proud of my people

A lot of people are missing the point discussing pandering....

The point is these type of statements are forcing other politicians to have these conversations.

The more the reparations conversation happens in the mainstream media, the more ingrained it becomes. Social programming works just this way.


This movement may not reap any reparations for us but imagine what it can do for the future of the ADOS community.
