How do you disagree with her if you listen to her full clip (which starts at 0:56)?

She's basically saying be smart about it, if you focus on benefits for black Americans only EVERY other race (that hates us) is going to get mad or feel left out. She even says she tried that before and lost because of it.

It is 2022, we can not afford to not understand the game in this country. We need to move smart, seize power, and bring about the changes we want to see.

She wasn't even being that subtle about that being her intention in this interview either. Like come on.
Especially after I had to listen to what I had to listen to at this Republican Summit that I went to. People are out here bullshytting, I weep for the future if/when they gain control again.

Listen. I'm not even FBA/ADOS, but I'm getting sick and tired of Black Americans being undermined for reparations and specific tangible benefits.

These black democratic politicians are always using trick bag language like black and Brown, minorities, people of color, disadvantaged communities, anything to avoid addressing black Americans specifically and it's pathetic.

Everybody else can get specifics without hesitatation...

But when it comes to black Americans it's "we don't have the time now", "we don't have the resources", "we need to study it", "our hands are tied"....all the excuses in the book.
God bless you brother

Bullshyt. LGBTQ still deals with huge amounts of racism. Black lgbtq are some of the poorest people in the country. They are a fake double minority. Claim minority but have access to whiteness. They can’t lose.
Bruh, there are white, asian, and latino, etc LGBTQ people. YOU just segmented them but to the general populous, all they see is a rainbow flag. When you can identify with someone of the demographic, its more palatable. Show black faces at the forefront of any cause and its not just a bunch of white people turning their nose, its people of all backgrounds. LGBTQ doesnt have a specific color. Its more accessible to people sensitive to that kinda shyt like how Eminem or Macklemore can rap and suddenly white people fukk with it more.

People, black or white, dont want to hear the truth if it doesnt align with their personal beliefs.

Deep down you know the second something gets mentioned as black only, white people gonna turn up their nose and go against it. Thats the world we live in. So you can either understand that, play the game, and try to sneak some shyt in under the guise of helping everyone, or you can stay angry and militant and get nothing.

Folks would rather stay angry and get nothing than swallow their pride and accept it. Yall operate strictly on the surface level, which is why many of you never advance anywhere in life.

If you disagree with the clear cut math behind it, then you are complete idiot. Black Americans dont make up enough in numbers to push any candidate that aint in a predominately black community.

On a federal level and elsewhere, you need to convince white people to vote essentially against thier interest in some cases. IE more taxes for more socio-economic programs, etc

Its a tough task to ask ppl like abrams to maneuver a strident racist/classist system and then produce. Her mentality is moreso of “lets get in, as many as we can, so we can start to change shyt”

But as you can see, the south is a doing a magnificent job in keeping racism alive and censoring the black experience. They dont want racism to die with them. Which is what we hoped. They want ignorance alive and well.

I don’t understand how you could listen to the clip of her speaking and get something negative from it. She didn’t say what was right or wrong or how she felt. She explained WHY a traditional politician uses blanket terms. She even mentions that she tried using language specifically for black people and it didn’t work out for her.

You’re mad because she didn’t call this country racist. To what end. How will that benefit anyone. What do you get from her publicly admitting that people in this country are (and this country at large) are racist. The reason black politicians avoid this is the same reason racist politicians use dog whistles. We all know what she means and what she is saying. You just want to be coddled and reassured so that you can feel better about the oppression you face.

With the history of this country’s covert means of oppressing people, you think BLACK PEOPLE will accomplish anything without doing the same?… as the minority? Learn how to play the game, except learn how to play it better. That’s how you win. Brute force doesn’t work when you’re 1/8 of the population… and even less if you’re talking about just ADOS.
TLR isn't the place for intellectual discussion :pachaha:

You're either dealing with trolls, c00ns or whites in digital blackface. Anyone with a brain knows what she's getting at.

Nothing new

This always the case on almost all levels of government

Black people causes are Hispanic, Asian, Indian and even poor white causes

Hispanic causes for Hispanics

Asians causes for Asians

Native Americans need legislation for their own, then they get their own

If a country can’t apologize for slavery, u think they going to give anything to benefit nikkas at all except we can celebrate February and June 19th

That answer is complete bullshyt. Easy rebuttal.

If we only represent 12% of the population so they can’t address or needs without losing majority of votes, why can they address LGBT issues? LGBT (trans) especially get specific laws passed for them.
Wait till these coli c00ns see how many asians are in the us:mjlol:

Fortunately for her 95 % of black people are not faux militants both siders on the internet who still would be too lazy to vote whatever she said or did :yeshrug:
That fat bytch ain't gonna sit on your face, homie.

I'm in GA and this whale isn't getting my vote because she hasn't done or said anything to warrant it.

Keep your dumbass head in the sand over Democratic benign neglect if you want to. Doesn't make it any less of an issue.

Imagine being such an abject, bytchmade coward, that you would willingly accept the reasoning of a lying Walrus?
