He's not wrong. People can say what they want about Obama, but he has a very good understanding of how white people/American government work and their view toward black people as a whole.

Reparations will only get serious attention when white people get behind it and that's never because America doesn't see the issue with slavery. Human trafficking and exploitation is the foundation of its economic model and they are still limping by on it.

I mean I get it. But like I said before Blacks could get repairations but they have to be willing to go to war for it. White Supremacy always continues to fine tune every decade to fukk over African Americans you think suddenly they are going to have a change of heart?.

The value of the slavery was trillions. Doesn't mean nikkas will get anything near that. Like I said, completely academic argument and not one grounded in reality. How much money do you think you're entitled to personally, for example? How much should each "ados" receive?

The current push around reparations is about closing the racial wealth gap (a by-product of enslavement among other things), it's not about finding a dollar figure that fully atones for the moral and financial impact of 500 years of slavery.

Even prior reparations movements never argued that whatever number they were calling for would morally and financially fully atone for slavery.

People wonder why republicans, demonic as they are, have so much power. They fall in line.

Obama says “reparations is goood but CACs would be on my ass” and people turn on him

People are getting on Obama because he needs to keep his mouth closed instead of that weak, "I WISH I could do it, but the mean white man is stopping me!" This kind of nonsense is why I stopped supporting him after his first term. I actually voted for the guy, but then when I saw he didn't deliver on most of his promises, and every time it came to something for blacks, he'd disassociate himself, I saw what was up. This is the same guy talking about he's not the President of black America, he's everyone's President. Same guy that called the Baltimore rioters thugs. Kamala is taking the same stance of disassociating herself from blacks but dipping her foot into the black associating pool when she needs votes and support.

The reality is Republicans hate sanctuary cities and the fact that illegals can get all kinds of tax-payer sponsored benefits, but somehow the Democrats take care of non-citizens who can't even vote before their 'black allies'. Same for the LGBT community. A lot of conservatives don't like LGBT but the Dems can get things done for them. The Dems have the House and the Senate... Why can't they get things done for blacks? What 'racist whitey' is stopping them unless they are talking about the ones in their own party? If the whites in the Democratic party don't want African Americans, who have been the staunchest supporter of Democrats, to get reparations for CENTURIES of oppression, then how exactly are they our allies?

The reality is that the Dems know they have the black community in their pocket and all they have to do is come with that, "Aw naw baby, you know I got you, you just got to be patient" rhetoric. We've been getting studies and commissions for decades while the black communities remain largely the same whether it's Democrats or Republicans in office. Blacks delivered the Dems those seats in Georgia, but did Pimpin Joe actually come through with anything for blacks? No. All of that stuff Obama is speaking is that same, "Well he's playing chess, not checkers' rhetoric that we heard while he was in office. First we had to wait until his second term. Then we had to wait until he was out of office before he could make real moves. How long do we have to wait now? Obama is going to really get things going for blacks in the afterlife?

You're a coward that would watch his family be slaughtered in front of him because he's to afraid to pick up the arms to defend himself ...a coward that thinks appeasement = prosperity... white supremacy has been nothing but brutal throughout American history yet your coward ass believes that if you just make them feel good they'll appease black society... what an ignorant fool




You're not tricking shyt but yourself out of your dignity coward



You've gotten 0 results
You've put in 0 work
You've provided nothing but rhetorically shallow retorts rationalizing your subservient instincts that were likely passed down from your father



you are what you are :francis:
I’m not reading all of that because it’s a waste of time. But based on what I saw at the end...

You don’t know what I’ve done. You don’t know me, lol. And trust when I say I’ve put in work. Physical work and mental work. Stay on the message board talking about something that you don’t know anything about. I’ll continue to effect change in my community and empower young black kids to actually make a difference.

In addition. I’ve already posted on this site my ideas for how to approach getting reparations. And it ain’t no check. It’s strategically worded legislation that doesn’t obviously benefit black people, but in practice, benefits black people more than anyone else. Once the balance of wealth starts to shift and black peoples start creating foundations of power, THAT is when you charge in wielding your sword. If you take your army of 100 against an army of 100,000, you’re leading your people to slaughter. Develop opportunities, develop wealth, develop power, destroy the opposition.

Clown.

There's no true black progress that won't create a white backlash. There's no slow cook bureaucratic, political economy, market-based solution that will subvert white backlash anymore than a head-on solution like reparations.

The seat at the table nikkas are delusional if they think otherwise, their position of prominence is there to quell mass movements and it's an expected/adjusted loss white supremacy will take to do business.

I said this already, but I don't think Obama would do it even if he had the power to. It goes against what I think his values are.

...
Any black person still supporting or defending what he did for us is an accommodationist Negro who like Obama believes in pragmatism and capitalist realist politics.

Obama is also likely the embodiment of their own personal and professional class aspirations.

For those of us who believe we need(ed) a transformative redress akin to a new Reconstruction or Civil Rights Act(s), Obama was always a non-starter or a growing disappointment.

The harsh pill that some need to swallow is that Obama would've NEVER evened much less tipped the scales in our favor even if he could have. That's was his main appeal to white "liberals" who, like white conservatives, have a projected fear that once in power we will do to them what was done to us. That's why they don't want ados/fba in that seat.

Obama's commitment to liberalism [neo] without racial redress are his core values, just like Kamala Harris. That's why white liberals love them because their identities serve as "progress" yet they are both committed to not upending the status quo. ....

Reparations shouldn’t even be debatable at this point. Only reason they try deny it is because it will expose how far reaching the effects of slavery have been.

Reparations for descendants of slaves and policies to override the racism ALL blacks in America have experienced in education, housing & working HAS to happen eventually.

If we being honest, if Obama would’ve been as radical as the coli militant wanted him to be or as pro BLACK.

The Capital attack would’ve happened like 10-12 years ago. :mjlol:

Matter fact, he’d of been a 1 term president and they would’ve probably assassinated him or at minimum his and his family life would be in danger right now.

And not one coli militant who got what they want at his expense would be there to ride with him and protect him in the aftermath :lolbron:
