Obama: I'd support reparations if it weren't for the massive white backlash that would ensue

[wtfyomom]

yeah sick of this bullshyt mentality. whats the point of so called succeeding or getting to the top when the outcome doesnt get anything tangible? its the same argument that says we have to elect people like joe manchin cause "oh west virginia cac" like if we dont have people that will actually change policy or get ;policy then whats the point to have a "majority" when its not really a majority other than a majority of people with a D in front of their name

Obama is right and is being pragmatic. Y'all nikkas waiting with your hat in hand for a couple of dollars is living in lala land.

They owe us trillions, not “a couple of dollars”. And it’s an inheritance from a debt they owed our ancestors for torture and forced free labor to build this country, not a “handout”.

There is only one way to attain power and status. That is through money and ergo, paid influence over politicians. In addition, you need to be able to coherently use your clout and wealth to motivate your group enough to as Tariq would say, "stay on code".

The reality is the black community will never achieve this with the following issues: black folks killing other black folks and having more disdain for fellow black folks than even non-black people. Black men and women of wealth deciding to spend their wealth on friviously keeping up with the Jones consumerism, marrying outside of the race when rich, and supreme selfishness and not giving back to the community they are from. Finally, too many black people lack a feeling of community with other black people. When shyt goes down, there is a feeling of "its not my business" but it is sometimes even if you're not directly impacted. If some dude in your neighborhood is robbing, killing, and hurting people even if he doesn't hurt you, his existence destroys social cohesion if it continues unchallenged. Community trust is hurt by it.

Until these are fixed, it's a matter of when not if the black community is going to be attacked in an existential way far beyond what we deal with now.

you say this but every race does this. where all the rich cac helping out the poor white trash ? i agree its better to do what youre saying than the current things some people do but its not like if everyone just got in line it would solve everything cause it wouldnt, why cause its imperative to have a lower class in our system and black people always going to be discriminated against the most in this country. you act like people aint been trying. black wall street, black panthers etc, its what those in power allow to happen. sick of people thinking jews or chinks got some secret, nah, they allowed to do what they do

The epitome of spinelessness.

Your support (this goes for anyone not just Obama) for Reparations should not be conditioned on the feelings of white people.

If you support something then you support it. If you don't say you don't.
If Reparations are owed for past wrongdoings then they are owed. END OF STORY.
STAND ON IT.

Stop adding bullshyt conditions on our justice claim.

Exactly but you got a bunch of c00n ass nikkas capping for this bytch nikka like he they hero, which goes to show you that the Obama spell never went away and kneegrows ain’t never learned they damn lesson because they’re so fukking hardheaded and short-sighted that it’s hilarious

I wonder if Obama got this same energy for the Isitreallies (false Jews) and Japanese and hell even the damn LGBTQIA (yes, these bammas are asking for reparations too )?

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.

Did you write this with your hands on your hips too? nobody cares about you. You dont speak for black people. fukk you and your business.

Reparations is like BLM for white people, it requires education!

Even me a brownman, I was against reperations at one point until I understood it more.

It's like Black Lives Matter, white people be like "ALL LIVES MATTER", but that is because they do not understand the point of BLM.
They think it means black lives over white lives. You have to educate them that this is not what you mean, what you mean is that blacks are targetted and killed while whites are not.

This is an amazing picture that explains it VERY well.

Now with Reperations, which I used to be against as well.
Because to pay black people because of what happened to you by people that don't exist today to people that don't exist today is a very hard argument to make, especially when the money will be paid by the people considering the govt's money is your money.

But that's when you have to explain, explain about how shyt is STILL happening.
From police persecution, creating ghettos and putting mad drugs there, massive incarcerations, gentrification yep that too, to so many many other things sitll happening today.
And that would open it up beyond ADOS to all blacks as well.

The problem is politicians keep making studies on how to pay, but should instead make a study on WHY to pay, and then have mutltiple sessions explaining the results to white america.

Just my two cents...

incorrect

it is for ados and ados only

OK. I don't even feel like reading all this ish.

Again, you need to zip it about reparations if you don't understand it ---- and if you don't think it will happen. Or you don't support it -- and you want to give redress to yourself (whatever the hell that means).

Only uninformed Black people, with no love for self, their communities and their ancestors would even utter the pure trash you stated.

Now, have a great night!

Yep you aint reading it cause everything i said was true and you don't have a response for it.

Next time if you don't want me to say something to you, don't say nothing to me. Trust me when I tell you that I don't even waste my time reading your posts... UNLESS you say something to me first.

I ignore you the same as I ignore that fool @Pazzy

 

[Xyrax]

why is this news? Someone asked him this shyt waaaay back when he was running for pres early when he started polling well. Like BEFORE he won the nom.

 

[Pazzy]

So you, a mentally ill gay transman speaks for black ppl?

Shut your pathetic narcissistic ass up. Stupid, you can actually get money on your own, have a business AND STILL push for reparations for the collective that your ass is apart of. This motherfukker literally put OR like we MUST pick one or the other. You most definitely are an agent and just need to shut the fukk up with your divisive ass before we get you on up out of here.

Good

And next time, I will do the same thing I did today. If I want to tell you to "STFU" that is what I will do.

You could have kept it in the rep comments - but you got in your feelings and chose to make a post and disrespect me by calling me out my name.

So you give it (disrespect) -- I have no problem returning it (....but nicely).

Be blessed!

If you address me, imma address you back however I see fit. But if you don't say nothing to me, I won't say nothing to you. I'll just treat you like @Pazzy's retarded sister and ignore you like I ignore him.


And it's funny that I'm disrespecting you but you don't see telling someone to shut the fukk up as being disrespectful like I said, you're retarded.
