The Black Lives Matter coalition has released 6 demands, including reparations and an end to the dea

[Easy-E]

I'll be nice and say good for BLM

And im interested in the next step

I'm not trying to be funny but how can you make demands when you aren't in a position of power AND you have don't have any leverage?? Like the idea though.....

One of the biggest thing going against black folk is we don't have a real "or else"

We rely on the system too much and only demand a better seat in a sinking ship

'Doomsday'?

The point is no one is coming for us, nor will give us anything. So it is up to us to carve the future out ourselves.

How?

How are an oppressed, broke, beaten disenfranchised people supposed to carve out a future for themselves while suffering from the effects of hundreds of years of slavery and even more years of discrimination?

You get what you owe, then you carve out the future. We're at the ocean floor pretending we if you reach up you'll touch the sky. We have to get back to the surface first.

And a part of that is getting the people who tied the anchors to our feet to take them off.

No, I'm fully aware of it. Some people argue that if you take the amount paid out over hte years by welfare alone, reparations have been paid out a long time ago. I got a little bit of black blood in my veins, maybe I'll be able to buy a porsche with my reparations money. Do I get a bonus for being part Taino slave or do I have to lobby the governments of Portugal and Spain for that money?

That welfare shyt means nothing. Black people are only in need of welfare in mass because of the history of discrimination in this country. Welfare has been given to All Americans, and whites use more welfare than anyone. That's not our reparations.

You sound real

But

I think you underestimate how much they owe. People could buy homes . Fund the education of their children. Access to tutors. Money is access.

Thats why they wont fork it over. It will completely destroy their system.

Who would be on the bottom?

Whites still wouldn't be on the bottom

And we still wouldn't be richer than them.

Ah the good old progressive "you're racist!" ad hominem for stating facts and citing accurate statistics.

The numbers you're citing are old. Blacks make up like 13-14 percent of the population but consume around 40 percent of welfare, a little more or about the same as whites, who make up the majority of the population.

Even if whites did use more, it wouldn't be shocking that the largest segment of the population uses the most of welfare. This is basic math, but then again, since you expect rich white zionists to pay out trillions, I'm not surprised you're having trouble with that.

 

[USSInsiders]

Pause, but facts only

 

[THE MACHINE]

Lots of prolific posting by @The II XX

People want to do anything but challenge white supremacy and make demands. "Bu...by...they might not give us anything". They don't even want to demand what's ours. ole "whatchu gon' do when massa tells you no?" As if all that money rightfully belongs to white people. These same people won't bat an eye for the billions of dollars in grants/loans awarded to white and "brown" people coming over in droves opening businesses. They won't even write a letter when their neighborhoods are bulldozed and "modernized" and the lender wont approve loans to black people to move back in the neighborhood the last 4 generations of your family lived in. Giving up without a demand....let alone a fight. Laughing at the people trying to make you and your children's life better is the definition of c00ning.

We consume the most welfare because we've been enslaved or discriminated against since the inception of the Country

Even if you subtract slavery. The people who suffered through Black Codes, Jim Crow, Redlining. G.I Bill, The Federal Housing Act, etc are SUPPOSED to be the poorest people in the country. Only in coocoo world do these things not have a lasting effect

Like I said before, they made us poor then blame us for being poor

If black people got what we are owed we mos def wouldnt be at the bottom. Just think if every AA family was given 40 acres.

Lol black people HAVE to stay at the bottom. They are way to scared of us.

 

[Adidacs]

Reparations aren't coming.

Not now. Not ever.

Doing so would be a direct admittance that Blacks have been done wrong and systemically destroyed with an impact that has lasted for generations. Not happening. We can't even get an accurate history book in our schools.

To be honest, I don't care. They can keep their blood money.


Nobody is coming to save us brehs and brehettes. We all know Obama didn't. We are on our own, and need to protect our own. For our generation and those to come after.

when the senate apologized for slavery there were senators and other politicians who were publicly like because they were scared it could give a case for reparations credibility

devils
