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

[onelastdeath]

Black folks have been asking for reparations for centuries.

Right . And we have been silenced for centuries . We are in a generation where there's a limit on how much they can silence us. Blacks are in positions we've never been in.

There are black voices in media on a national level. That hasn't been true in any other generation to such a great extent.

We could get it done.

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

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.

i agree, blacks shouldnt ask for hands out from white people, they should work for it just like white people did!!! Blacks need to get off their lazy asses.

Africans living in America need to stop begging for white acceptance.




Equality will never happen. The dominant society in ANY country will not give a minority group the same liberty. We need independence economically

 

[Reflected]

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?

The 2012 join dates. lol

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

I'm not asking you to regurgitate history. You stated a falsehood and I corrected it. But don't worry, you're right. The Democrats will save you breh. Those reparations are right around the corner. They really, genuinely care about you. I mean look at LBJ, despite his gratuitous use of ******, he really had black America's best interests in mind with the Great Society

In this country nothing's giving to you, you gotta take it

 

[Adidacs]

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 on the bottom. They are way to scared of us.

40 acres try 650, and double that if you were married

From its very beginning, Oregon was an inhospitable place for black people. In 1844, the provisional government of the territory passed a law banning slavery, and at the same time required any African American in Oregon leave the territory. Any black person remaining would be flogged publicly every six months until he left. Five years later, another law was passed that forbade free African Americans from entering into Oregon, according to the Communities of Color report.


In 1857, Oregon adopted a state constitution that banned black people from coming to the state, residing in the state, or holding property in the state. During this time, any white male settler could receive 650 acres of land and another 650 if he was married. This, of course, was land taken from native people who had been living here for centuries.

You don't have to care. I'm not a democrat, or a republican. You don't have to care to answer a demand. That's what makes them demands

Outside of reparations blacks will never get up in this country.

Unless you read at a 2nd grade level, nowhere in those posts do I suggest black people are lazy. He cited incorrect statistics, I corrected him. The reality is welfare more often than not does NOT help poor people. Are there hardworking people that need it to survive? Absolutely. But the primary reason politicians push for free shyt like welfare and the like is because it's very effective at conditioning people to have a certain mindset and vote for a certain political party.

I wonder what party has historically done that. Would it be the same party that founded the KKK?

"Let's throw a lot of money at people! That will fix everything!"

I neither implied you needed nor didn't need the money, but the reparations thing is a nonsensical pipe dream that isn't going to happen and won't fix any of the problems in the disenfranchised demographics in this country.

This type of inferiority complex low self-esteem victim shyt is pathetic.

The only reason Democrats started the welfare state in this country is so poor people and minorities would vote for them.

You probably think blacks need to just pull themselves up by their bootstrap. Even though no group in America, even the all powerful white man has reach financial prosperity without massive help from the US government

They shouldn't have included the reparations portion as now that is the only thing people will focus on and nobody will read the rest, as evidenced by this thread. . If you click the link to their points (it's more than 6 it's more like 40) a lot of the demands are reasonable starting points for a policy conversation. I'd like to see them narrow that platform down considerably for the moment and really focus in on a few key points. I like the community police oversight board particularly, along with repealing citizens united, and putting more money into the education and rehabilitation of prisoners.

"Probably think" So you're ignoring the context of my statements and just making an assumption with no basis, that's wrong by the way. I don't think that at all, I just don't like reading pitiful shyt like that.

Lord.
