Better short term question: what are black voters going to be voting for in 2022, or even 2024? Your voting rights are getting decimated on the state level regardless of who is president. Sure a democrat DOJ is way better than a republican DOJ but given that much of this isn't illegal, it's not being stopped.

Besides judges the only difference right now is you get your welfare with democrats. Don't have to worry about it being shut off or dangled like a negotiating chip. But what if you aren't on welfare, what then.

I'm not telling people not to vote. I'm voting. I'm just pointing out the simple reality: these clowns promised the moon, knowing they couldn't deliver, and will be back in 2022 and 2024 to dance and sing and visit black churches and say "ain't" and all that other shyt. Expecting your vote, because the other guy/party is worse. Yet whether the other guy or your guy gets in what do YOU get? We can even move this beyond race specific things, and include things like...hey, free community college sure would help black people right? More affordable healthcare sure would help black people right? Some type of federal help with rent sure would help black people right? Well you aren't getting any of that either.

and this was 16 years ago. The clock is ticking and people really aren't getting that the window is truly closing.

Queen Mother Moore was lobbying for reparations at the 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana.

TBH, she was not taken seriously by the rising Black political establishment who attended that gathering, nor did the Black establishment ever take reparations advocacy seriously, even when Congressmen Conyers proposed legislation.

DO you want to lose the seats the CBC already has?

Did you know most of the CBC isn't in majority black districts?
What have we gotten from the congressional black caucus , we might as well start over because we do not have the support or numbers to get anything done to build black education , wealth or prosperity in America

my loyalty is for better deals.

republicans dont have one right now
You're a Democratic shill. That's your job.
And your goal is to keep fba believing in the democrats, no matter how much they're neglected and disrespected.
You think you're smarter than you are, so you show up asking disingenuous questions for attention, hoping you can draw people into pointless arguments so you can try to undermine or discredit, the "no tangibles no vote"
stance that the intelligent fba's have adopted. WHITE PAY MASTERS, FIRE HIM, THE JIG IS UP.
