The problem with Black Only Political Agendas—You Need Smarter Policy Proposals

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Black politics is something you don't understand because you make statements like this

Nap is absolutely right (Never thought I would utter those words) on this.

Even when affirmative action policies were passed in a much more receptive environment immediately following the civil rights movement, those policies had to be broadened to win support.

The way some people talk of the black only policies is as if we live in a different reality.

We live in a racially tense society where programs that help ALL poor and disenfranchised people are constantly under attack because racists believe they take money from hardworking whites and give it to undeserving blacks.

Given the reality of this kind of society, why do certain people feel like they can politicians can pass policies that only help black people.

I’m not opposed to programs that help black people specifically, I just think they are highly unlikely to the point of being impossible.

@hashmander you nailed it.



Correct. I'm backing you up, but snidely telling posters to look into why the amendment passed despite Gillum's electoral outcome.

Another example would be Cory Booker's "opportunity accounts." It's targeted at helping poor kids and who happens to be disproportionately poor? It's not that it wouldn't help poor whites, but it would help blacks and other minorities.

Obviously, nothing will come of this, but it's worded in a way where bigots won't reflexively shoot it down (Republicans hate all poor people reflexively shoots it down).

Negative. I want blacks to push for reparations for the descendants of slaves, everything else(in my opinion) is anesthetic.

Op ain't wrong

Every member of the House of Representatives represents 710,767 people according to the 2010 census.

There according to the 2010 census thats 43,646,369 black people.

OK...well if you manage to evenly spread out the number of black representatives more or less comes out to ~61 representatives

Theres 435 members of the House of Representatives.

Thats 14% of the House of Representatives.

So even if you get 100% of your representatives on board, you need to convince ALL THE OTHER DEMOCRATS...and even then...all the other republicans.

Where is this platform of "black only politics" taking place?

Thats why you need smarter policy that indirectly targets us in order to even make it past other legislators on your own team AND the courts when its eventually tested.

Reparations is a very specific policy, that targets very specific demographics, that has taken place across the board in several instances in more than one country... to suggest something that has happened is impossible is ridiculous.

Like socialism, which was once a nonstarter, it just needs to be pushed.


Edit: why is it so hard to get blacks on board with reparations... it’s like you’ve all been mind fukked...

Free tuition for federally recognized tribes.

Federally funded NAVTEP provides grants to projects that improve vocational and technical education that benefits American Indians and Alaska Natives.

I'm glad you brought up native Americans.

Are you also aware of why they are able to gain native specific programs?

I'm saying the descendants of slaves should be pushing for redress uniformly regardless of political affiliation... why are you opposed to it and/or deflecting?
Are trying to protect "the good cacs"

so the north american examples are of them taking someone's property and lamely compensating them years later for nothing close to the value of what they took? you realize that slaves were the property right? shyt outside of america only the slave owners got compensated (DC as well) for their "loss of property", it was called compensated emancipation. what these people consider reparations to black people was "you got your freedom" or liberia.

the way you talk you would think your're on the fence politically and if only the democrats supported reparations you would be down with them. it's a troll act because your political philosophy is far right and they for damn sure don't support reparations for descendants of slaves. you would have an easier time convincing a lefty to support reparations than the people you back. are you actively advocating for this in the far right circles you run in or you don't want to mess up your reputation as "one of the good ones"?

It’s about policy not what team they play for if it was a Dem pushing I’d vote for him without question, if it was the head of the kkk I’d vote for him.
I’m not concerned with the actor, I’m interested in the policy and how it advances blacks.


As for who would back it, it depends on packaging. Straight cash transfer could only come from Dems, tax exemption is digestible by the “taxes are theft” crowd, and welfare reform that ended welfare for everyone who isn’t black(reducing the entitlement program by over 70%) is a small government initiative that screws brown immigrants while winning over blacks...
Those are just examples of packaging not real policy ideas...
And I push reparations on every forum I frequent...




You call everything you can’t fit in the box cacs have given you a troll.

Just support reparations and stop tap dancing for the “good whites”
