[Amerikan Melanin]

He refuses monetary payments as reparations and also includes native Americans in Reparations talks.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Just realizing that it must be assumed that Donald Trump won't be the one to offer reparations??? All this talk about it with candidates but I haven't seen or heard about him being asked at all

 

[TRY GOD]

The breakfast club must have gotten a considerable bag for them to continue to sink their ship in the manner they are going.

I was never a fan of the show, but if its a hot interview, its a hot interview.

At this rate though, they are no longer just saying they are bought and paid for, but that they no longer care about any so called black culture at all.

I think its time we cancel the breakfast club.

Trump and the Republicans don't give a shyt about the black vote. They run and win on the cac vote.

this is how I feel about it, as an actual certified political scientist.

At worst, if democrats keep showing their ass, trump just has to continue the path that he is on and leave black people completely alone, and he will win.

At best trump will offer black people concessions. We know he isn't going to give black people reparations, but I wouldn't count it out, because he is petty towards democrats and that would destroy the democrat party. And trump actually does want to cement his legacy as "a good president."

If trump was to offer significant tangibles to blacks, like making us a protected class, he would turn the political tides forever.

His political pettiness is why democrats are eager to get him out of office, because they know if he is some how able to get blacks on board, democrats are done. And we can't ignore that trump has met with, and addressed black people specifically. The avenues he went about it have been terrible, but what actual black person or group hasn't been in their feels and brought a serious black agenda to him?

Do you understand the concept of being an incumbent?

If this was a basketball tournament, he pretty much has a bye to the championship game. Why waste time trying to convince him?


He doesn’t need our votes to win. The Democratic candidates all really do.

So do you also understand the concept of leverage?

So do people ONLY want money for reparations?

it HAS to be money? Nothing else?

Seems like people are willing to throw any kind of help or assistance by the wayside that isn't financial compensation

Bernie has talked about
-federal jobs guarantee (helps black ppl)
-public colleges/universities tuition-free (helps black ppl. Not only poor, but also middle class)
Medicare for all (Helps poor and middle-class blacks)
-Drastically lower prescription drug prices (clearly helps blacks, poor and middle class)
-Ending the drug war (helps poor and middle class)
-Ending the Prison Industrial Complex

List goes on.

how are these NOT tangibles? Someone please, honestly explain

So we don't want those things because they help out other races as well? Thats no different than white people not voting for benefits that help them because those benefits will also help black people.

I'm just curious, but what's y'alls agenda/demands beyond reparations-- or are y'all just single issue voters? There's a NUMBER of issues linked directly to ADOS that could be addressed with the next president: mass incarceration and the school to prison pipeline, predatory loans, etc. A study JUST came out stating predominantly white schools are funded by 23 BILLION more dollars

I guess what I'm asking is, what happens to all the issues that justify reparations in the first place? Eventually all these candidates are gonna be eliminated on a lofty goal rather than you know, "tangible" objectives


I'm talking beyond Bernie btw.

Those are tangibles but they don't close the financial wealth gap but they better the lower income Americans happenstance as well as help the middle class out tremendously

Will giving an unspecified amount of money close the financial gap for good? I dont think it will honestly

I bet most will spend the money needlessly

In addition, the systematic disadvantages that blacks will face will STILL be in effect. So eventually the wealth gap will come back.

If we take money and invest in social programs, and tackle the systematic biases that have ruined black people, i think it will go a longer way than just saying "here, have some money"

 

[newarkhiphop]

For those interested he flat out said NO to reparations.

Federal jobs, how could Bernie determine that many of these corporations that exclude blacks from their staff, hire just more than 3 black ppl?? If a company staffs 500 ppl, how many of those 500 staffers should be black making a good salary?? How would Bernie make a company hire 50% of blacks??

Public Colleges/Universities, How are the teachers/professors etc get paid when tuition pays their salary?? How would Bernie force the Universities to allow black kids to attend their schools for free?? Bernie can allow Harvard to allow black kids to attend their university for free?

Ending the drug war? How would Bernie end the drug war, a war that's been going on for years and a war that supplies money to different entities around this country??

Ending The Prison Industrial Complex?? How would Bernie force judges to not give sentences to black ppl?? Bernie will end this??, I'm speaking on mass incarceration?

We all know these things are needed, but how can a President change the system that's been setup up since the 4th Constitution was written in 1776 and re-distribute the wealth in America

99% of the wealth in America is owned by whites and other races, black own .5 of that? How can a President make the re-distribution an even playing field?

What he is saying is cute talk, you can't move or change the system when it's been setup for many years to have blacks as an underclass group, thus why money and land are the only keys for black folks to really better themselves in this country

Just asking
