First, I am far from ignorant and misinformed about reparations.
Second, just because you think something is a "pipe dream" - don't make it so. I don't care about what "White America "wants to do." -- that's what you don't get.
Also, I'm not just sitting around "whining" about reparations. Nor, have you seen me "whining" about reparations -- you have seen me educating on -- and defending reparations.
Again, you clearly don't understand what has happened and is happening in our communities -- and how our past and the intentional stealing, discrimination, exploitation, withholding, etc -- directly affects each and every one of us TODAY.
Making moves takes more than just White people getting out way. And if you are really a business owner (a successful one) you should know that.
Yeah, I love to give attention and get attention from those who clearly need some -- cause they don't know what the fukk they be talking about.
You want to be a perpetual victim and you're mad at me and other black ppl that are not satisfied with being victim.
I will repeat...reparations is a PIPE DREAM, woman. What I will add to my statement is that it is a pipe dream right now.
I'm not even saying that reparations will never happen or that it shouldn't happen. I'm saying that it aint happening no time soon.
So what are we gonna do in the meantime?
Either we can beg for reparations
OR
We can go and make moves ourselves.
I choose to do the latter.
As far as not caring what white america wants to do, white America holds 90% of the political seats in this country that would directly affect whether or not we get reparations.
And that's again one of my problems with the Yvette Carnell crowd. Yall want to say "F what white people want."
And yall don't understand that the only way we're going to get reparations is if white America gives them to us.
You should care more about what they want than anybody since you want them to give us reparations.
I dont need anything from them, so I'm the one who truly feels like F white people and what they want.
As far as being in business... again I say: all I want is them to get the hell out of my way and I can be successful. My business is successful right now because aint no white folks trying to put road blocks in front of me. They aint helping me but they aint stopping me either.
I dont need them to be successful. I dont need them for anything. And to think that we need them in order to be successful is a very defeatist mindset to begin with.
You are giving them solely the power to change our condition in your mind. Well if you feel that way, then you think that we can't make any changes unless white folks make the changes for us.
Again that's the difference between me and you. Im changing my life right now without them. I dont need them devils for nothing. If they decide to give reparations, cool. I'll take it and use it to assist with what I'm already doing. But im not sitting up holding my breath, waiting on it.
Instead I'm making moves NOW.
