Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
So Black folks should always expect less because Dems are afraid of white voters??
Not our fukking problem. That's up for the Dems to figure out how to appeal to different audiences. Our demand is our demand.
Raphael Warnock said he is not for Reparations but Equality and Opportunity for all POC

All kinds of bullshyt laws with low approval ratings get passed. You always come up with these fukk ass scenarios to shame us from demanding Reparations.
Again that is up for the Dems to figure out!!!! It is not our responsibility to pass laws. Our demand is our demand.

So should Warnock potentially lose his seat to an incompetent, woman beating CTE having c00n because you want your emotions validated?
That's what the reparations question is. It's an emotional question based on strong feelings of injustice. Which I understand completely, but it's not a realistic question. Answering yes fulfills your emotions about it and create feelings of validation and excitement, but it hurts Warnock.
More importantly, it's not a realistic question because you will never get a majority of the US House of Representatives (at least 218 members I believe) to vote in favor of it. You will never get 60 US Senators to vote in favor of it. The Senate filibuster will never be broken to allow 51 votes in favor of it, because quite frankly you wouldn't be able to get 51 votes in favor of it anyway. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. It's a hurt truth to accept.

Dont tell me what I am and answer the question. Why are you against reparations? Seeing as you negged me for being a reparations supporter it's the least you can do.
When you say "Don't do anything for you" what exactly does that mean?

No, that was because you're a shortsighted idiot. I don't know why you believe you're going to achieve anything by conceding to people like Walker and the far-right. I suspect that people like you understand this and that you don't really care about reparations. You support the GOP and their culture wars bullshyt, but you're too afraid to express that position on here because it would undermine your "I'm a radical" shtick, so you push this as a smokescreen. For the record, I support reparations. My vote just doesn't hinge on whether or not a candidate supports that position.

Tell a bunch of racist hick Georgia Republicans who stood against student loan debt relief for their own children how reparations for African Americans "will help them."
Believe a black Democrat has any influence on a bunch of racist white Georgians who watch the Fox News Channel all fukking day.
Yalls sense of political and intellectual self importance is so delusional its almost cute. Yalls youtube heroes really got yall thinking this is as easy as blaming and pinning Democrats during elections rather than encouraging yall to do some real groundwork and dredge up public support for this.
Or maybe you can't help but have such a heart for the Republican Party you want to be apart of that you actually believe these people have some level of respect for "foundational black Americans" sucking up to them with all the "proud to be an American", proud boys anti immigrant rhetoric, anti-liberal, "we're more socially conservative" rhetoric. While at the same time demanding something that they will essentially call a handout, socialism, and an outrage. Get real breh.
One word of "reparations" is an instant bomb on your campaign, especially in a hard red state that's 80% white. This thread is dumb, was started by a known Trump dikk licker who has his own agenda.
I want reparations as well but it's only 2 ways to get it
by force
or we have to get power politically and that is going to take black folk with money coming together like butt cheeks and start acting like the Jews on behalf all black folk

I bet a number of people complaining never even vote in the primaries. That's when you are going in on policies and picking the better candidate to go against the opposition.

I'm pro-reparations but it's the reality that you need at least 65-70% public support to get real reparations and there is less than 30% support in the country for it right now. Until you change THAT equation, it's not going to happen no matter how much you make demands and tell people to virtue signal for you, outside of the liberal pockets where support for reparations is a clear majority.
If you actually want reparations, then work to change the public support for it. THAT is where the real battle is. Politicians are going to go where the votes are and the votes are not in reparations.
How is this a "smart" move when it would immediately be broadcast in every Republican attack ad across the state and completely destroy his chance to win?
Only 30% of the electorate in Georgia is Black. Even if EVERY Black person voted for a pro-reparations candidate, even if the majority of Latinos voted for that canidate too, you still need to get about 25% of the White electorate in order to win. And you ain't gonna get that running on reparations in 2022.
If any meaningful % of Black folk vote for the "third candidate", she still doesn't win. Herschel Walker wins. And the OP who openly said during 2016-2020 that he was a Trump supporter full well knows that and is banking on it.
No, they CAN win without your vote. That's your miscalculation. Warnock can't win, but if he loses they won't run someone more pro-Black, they're run some moderate white guy next time instead and aim for the middle. If they determine that trying to virtue signal for your ass is going to cost them more votes than it wins (and that's the truth in Georgia), then all they're going to do is move to the right and try to win by appealing to White moderates instead. Then your choices will be between the far-right and the moderate-right.
This is why some semblance of education and awareness of history/politics matters. Absolutely no one has ever won an election issue the way you're trying to win it. Plenty of people have seen Democrats in tough districts simply tack right to win instead.
I'm pro-reparations but you have to be strategic. You don't win gains if you move dumb.
Breh shut it down, as usual.
Unfortunately @Bunchy Carter bytch ass and the rest of the digital blackface right wing propagandists posting "don't vote" shyt on black websites knows it ain't gonna work on all black people, or even most black people.
But all they have to do is chip away and convert a good 10-15% of black voters into either "fukk Democrats" smart dummies or even straight up Republicans and that's all it takes to completely decide an election, especially in a place like Georgia.
They know what they're doing, and I wish in all their attempts to appear militant people can wake up and see how they're being politicallu manipulated to serve the very thing they claim to be against.

Everyone who suggested "defund the police" were met with pushback (rightfully), eventually dropped the rhetoric, and continued working with the party on reforms that have public support and can be done today.
They didn't protest the party like a bunch of idiots, stop voting and begin spreading propaganda to help Donald Trump win. What kind of argument are you trying to make here?
Don't be a gatekeeper for African Americans if youre this short sighted.

You do with your vote what you think is best, and I’ll do that with mine. See you in the lines come November!
This nikka take pride in doing absolutely jack shyt and then looking down on black people who are at least putting in the effort to keep white supremacists from running their state.
The coli yall... Probably emulates his father Tariq and call them a bunch "butter biscuit eating Democrats".
Like I said earlier, yall are lost, useless, and a far greater danger to black people than a thug on the street.
GoAggieGo.
getting blitzed.
Hold up my guy. My father? Tariq? I have a father who is my role model and guided me. I don’t need Tariq for that. I don’t listen to him at all. You’ve never seen me on some butter biscuit eating, calling folks c00n shyt.
I don’t do anything? You have no clue what you’re talking about. That’s you and your sassy self just spouting off again. Also, at the end of the day, I’m voting for a democrat lol
