Staying home on Election Day appreciation thread

[Asiatic Black Hebrew]

Only thing I'm voting for today is this bottle of tequila & a chipotle burrito while I sit back & watch the fukkery unfold

In this thread, I learned that people have no idea that there are three levels of government, three branches of government, and several offices and positions involved with each.

Stein Observes Juneteenth with a Call for Racial Justice and Reparations for Slavery

Stein Observes Juneteenth with a Call for Racial Justice and Reparations for Slavery
(Philadelphia, PA) Jill Stein, the presumptive Green Party nominee for President, participated today in the Juneteenth observances in Philadelphia. The day marks when slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865 first learned of the Emancipation Proclamation from union soldiers.

"It is unfortunate that more than 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, African-Americans still have been denied equality in our country. We need to ensure that all Americans have access to housing, a living wage job, universal health care, and a free, quality education, including college. It is also time for the United States to deliver on the promise of reparations for the sins of slavery, a promise made in 1865," said Stein.

To address the issue of reparations, Stein supports the creation of a commission to study reparations proposals and make recommendations to Congress, as called for in HR40, sponsored by Cong. John Conyers. She supports a Truth and Reconciliation process for slavery similar to what was done for apartheid.

Stein also said she would enforce laws and strengthen policies against racial discrimination in jobs, education, housing (mortgages, rental housing), and criminal justice and against the growing segregation of housing and schools.

Stein also said if elected she will make Juneteenth Independence Day a National Day of Observance in the United States. Education and self-improvement have been consistent themes of Juneteenth celebrations.

In January of this year, a UN Working group on People of African Descent reported that "The colonial history, the legacy of enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism, and racial inequality in the US remains a serious challenge as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation… Ideology ensuring the domination of one group over another, continues to negatively impact the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of African Americans today."

The UN group cited "the persistent gap in almost all the human development indicators, such as life expectancy, income and wealth, level of education, housing, employment and labor, and even food security, among African-Americans and the rest of the US population," and pointed to police killings, the criminalization of poverty, environmental racism, discriminatory voter ID laws and schools' insufficient teaching about the history of slavery as constituting a human rights crisis that must be addressed.

I voted for her Maybe she lying. Maybe the election is rigged. Maybe I wasted my vote I was in and out in 5 minutes so its not like I wasted that much time.

No Black Agenda = No Black Vote

I will not vote out of fear, tradition and symbolism. Nor will I vote for the lesser of two white supremacists.

I'm not swayed by the "my ancestors died for the right" line

My ancestors died at the hands of the same white supremacist system people are voting to uphold

There's only one political party in America - The White Supremacist Party. With two wings - Democrat and Republican

I choose neither

Besides, the popular vote means nohing. Only the electoral college chooses presidents

And the average voter does not determine the electoral college

Peace

In this thread, I learned that people have no idea that there are three levels of government, three branches of government, and several offices and positions involved with each.

This. What about your local elections....judges, sheriffs, DA's, local supreme courts justices, propositions etc... People keep talking about Hillary and Trump like that's all there is smh.

Thread full of dumbasses neglecting the right that their predecessors fought and got lynched for

Very c00n-like in my opinion. There's more than 2 candidates that you fools can vote for also.

 

[Worthless Loser]

If someone has zero interest in politics or their local government then I'm fine with them not voting. Why vote in something you are not interested in?

I'm on IG and I see a crapload of people advertising that they voted, from the IG models to comedians to your local "celebrities". Reminds me of when everyone changed their AVI on facebook when something bad happened on a national level.
