Probably because people are starting to realize it’s not gonna happen. Biden won’t even forgive 10k in student loans for a majority cac demographic.
But The Coli/Twitter told me we just gotta make a distinction from Black immigrants and they'll pummel us with reparations. If we could just get Biden & Congress on social media so they could SEE :ohlawd:

Enacting voter suppression laws, not voting, and beefing with immigrants will lead to reparations.

People are still talking about reparations. People's attention does shift to other topics, yes, but that's with anything. Nothing to do with Tariq. And anybody with common sense knew Umar's school wasn't coming to fruition even if we ascribe the best possible intentions to him.

Tariq is a hustler and obviously diaspora wars bring in the clicks from insecure inferiority complex suffering black folks on both sides, just look at the coli for proof.
There’s a thread now with a guy saying that ā€œFBAā€ going to war with Caribbeans is inevitable. Wonder where he got that from

The FBA reparations agenda was nothing more than something to make internet dudes have a talking point to make them look the most militant, and call out people that are not as militant as them. There was no really energy in trying to make reparations happen from that community other than asking for donations on youtube live streams.

What the FBA community should've been doing was appoint an FBA representative to run for office in an overwhelmingly black district, have that representative do boots on the ground organization, then after he wins a spot in a democrat election, that person could then bring the FBA agenda to the forefront. and really spark a movement. Do something like that, and I'm voting for them. DSA did it with AOC and Rashida Talib. shyt, QAnon did it with Marjorie Taylor Green. QAnon got a representative in the congress before FBA.

But stuff like that calls for actual effort and strategy. Both things that the FBA movement doesn't have.

The FBA agenda was brought to the forefront, and there is a movement, so that has already been accomplished. I've never heard the issue of reparations talked about so much in mainstream outlets as it was in the last few years. As far as getting FBA representatives, we have an entire Congressional Black Caucus that should already be fighting for black empowerment. They've not gotten any results. Meanwhile, the FBA reparations agenda of recent has already gotten results. Many states have enacted reparations legislation. This is the furthest we've come with this issue. So clearly, someone is putting in effort and has a good strategy. We've already had presidential candidates that supported reparations, but if there's a media black out on them, they're not going to get the vote. The democratic party as a whole will have to accept the issue. You won't be able to get a candidate in past them. Your entire post reads like an ethnic slur. That's fine. Just don't complain when it come back on you.

Reparations have been talked about before the FBA movement. The people right now that are actually making boots on the ground strides to Reparations have no direct involvement with the FBA movement at all.

Reparations bill approved out of committee in historic vote

Wednesday night, the House Judiciary Committee voted to bring H.R. 40 out of committee — a historic feat not accomplished since the late Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) first introduced a reparations bill in 1989

In reality the people that are actually bringing this to the floor are called "Democrat shills" by the FBA movement.

It's just a bunch of people who want credit for something that they had no direct action in. Tariq doesn't even believe in being involved in the political system.



How can you have political power if you don't even believe in participating in politics?

I've never seen reparations talked about during a presidential primary debate until 2020. You have the voices of new Black media to thank for that. No one else. H.R. 40 didn't gain any traction until 2020. That's not due to some hidden, boots on the ground "effort." If that were the case, why didn't this happen sooner? It happened because pressure was finally put on the Democrats. That's the "no strategy" at work getting results.

"The House Judiciary Committee took up the bill on Wednesday evening. The vote was the first time the committee has acted on the legislation since former Democratic Rep. John Conyers initially introduced it in 1989"

NPR Cookie Consent and Choices

You're a democratic shill if you're more interested in representing their interests than the people they serve. No one pushed reparations harder than Tariq and other voices. In fact, it wasn't even a topic until they made it one. Just because the MSM didn't give them credit doesn't mean they don't deserve it, especially since nothing was moving before them. Learn to give credit where credit is due.

Political power is putting pressure on your politicians, and it worked. Like a business negotiation, you don't take the first offer. Even if one side walks because they aren't satisfied with the deal, that still leaves the door open for the other side to up their offer. Some of us get that, some of us don't.

The voices of "New Black Media" had no influence on HR 40. How many of any of the members involved have even watched 1 minute of "New Black Media"? How can you have influence when the people that were involved don't even know you exist? The FBA movement exist on a niche part of the internet that is not even mainstream or close to mainstream. HR 40 gained traction because society is getting more and more socially left (which is why you have such a push back from the right) due to the people that the "New Black Media" supposedly hates. Why did criticism against police get more accepted in 2020 vs. 2012? The "New Black media" can't take credit for that.

You think Republicans are gonna give black Americans reparations if Democrats don't pass it? The Anti-CRT Republicans? The Pro-Gerrymandering Republicans? The Anti-Government handout Republicans? Black people have been not voting for Republicans for decades, why are they still against reparations? Why are they not bringing bills to the table? They're 100% against Reparations. Democrats are probably 70-80% against it, but a 20% chance is still better than a 0% chance.







"Putting pressure" on politicians isn't about simply not voting all together. Putting pressure on politicians is saying you either get down with our agenda, or we will vote someone in that gets down with our agenda. That's was Republicans did. They're not stupid enough to just not vote and think they're gonna get something out of it. They elected psychopathic politicians that are as big of psychos as them like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis. Tom Cotton, etc and purged the RINO's from the party and took over control. If FBA really wants to get this agenda moving them they have to participate. and officially organize, instead of think they're calling shots from their small little corner of the internet, while fighting among each other.

The top liberal candidates for 2020 were anti-reparations. The few pro-reparations candidates had a media blackout on them. So neither the democratic party, nor the left media, nor left society supported reparations. If they really supported it, their top candidates wouldn't be against it. The White left are not the reason for reparations talk becoming popular. The Black left hardly ever mentioned reparations. The voices of new Black media made it popular, because it's all they talked about leading up to the 2020 elections. Reparations talk was never so popular before them, and you should be honest about that. A lot of their talking points are mirrored all across social media, where most millennials and younger are getting their information. Their haters certainly can't seem to stop talking about them, as this thread is evidence of.

Police are going to jail more because Black people are putting more pressure on them. You see the trend? Pressure. Has nothing to do with the white left.

I don't endorse republicans. They've always been the greater of two evils.

Your way of just voting and hoping for the best has not had a good track record. It doesn't put any pressure on the system, and it gives the appearance that the status quo is ok. That's a stupid way to vote if you ask me, or Malcolm X. Being easy doesn't work in any walk of life. You'll be taken for granted. Negotiating sometimes involves walking away. That doesn't mean you're not actively negotiating. If a republican gets in because the democrat deal wasn't good enough, perhaps that will encourage the Dems to up their offer the next go round. You guys are deathly afraid of republicans and thinking one term will ruin everything. The fact is, whatever they do can be reversed, especially if it's not constitutional.

The black left are the ones that brought HR 40 to the table.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s case for reparations

You think Sheila Jackson Lee is watching Tariq Nasheed streams? You think he has any influence over what she does?

We have a list of all the co-sponsors.

Cosponsors - H.R.40 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act

You can see how many D's are next to their names. How many are avid watchers on "New Black Media" and actually care to get a seal of approval from them? Can you even prove that these people a big watchers of "New Black Media"? If not then "New Black Media" is just taking credit for something that they had no direct involvement in.

Can you name me 1 FBA Representative in congress or running for congress? Just show me 1.

The black left was pressuring Obama about reparations before FBA was even a thing, but because it was pre-twitter/ig people act like it didn't exist.

Obama opposes reparations for slavery

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUG 02, 2008 AT 9:27 PM


SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposes offering reparations to the descendants of slaves, putting him at odds with some black groups and leaders.

The man with a serious chance to become the nation's first black president argues that government should instead combat the legacy of slavery by improving schools, health care and the economy for all.

"I have said in the past — and I'll repeat again — that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed," the Illinois Democrat said recently.

Some two dozen members of Congress are co-sponsors of legislation to create a commission that would study reparations — that is, payments and programs to make up for the damage done by slavery.

One reparations advocate, Vernellia Randall, a law professor at the University of Dayton, bluntly responded: "I think he's dead wrong."



She said aid to the poor in general won't close the gaps — poor blacks would still trail poor whites, and middle-class blacks would still lag behind middle-class whites. Instead, assistance must be aimed directly at the people facing the after-effects of slavery and Jim Crow laws, she said.



"People say he can't run and get elected if he says those kinds of things," Randall said. "I'm like, well does that mean we're really not ready for a black president?"

That's 2008. The energy is still the same, it's just that society is getting more and more socially conscious and socially left.

Police are going to jail more because of more pressure from black people, also with help from outside groups. Who are the judges on these these cases? Who are the prosecutors on these cases? Who are the juries on these cases? They're not exclusively black. Pressure also means that there has to be cooperation, or else they'll just say "fukk you we do what we want" like they did with Breonna Taylor.

My way of voting has not been popularized, because black people (and Americans in general) keep voting for neo-liberals and not the right "left" politicians. But that's another conservation that is deeper than just Liberals vs. Conservatives.
