getting blitzed.
Our letters and the pressuring is working!
Just wait. It's coming. Notice the slight pushback he got talking down to young black men. He's one misstep away from black folks really putting him on blast.
He’s quiet as a church mouse when it comes to black issues and he avoids “black” media outlets. Even the ones that kiss his ass, so I don’t see the question getting to him anytime soon. Both him and Michelle been sliding under the radar for a minute cause they talk real reckless, but black folks never catch it

Sample Letter in Support of Reparations Legislation
Date
The Honorable ________
Office Address
United States House of Representatives/United State Senate
City, State, Zip
Dear Representative/Senator ______________:
I am writing to let you know of my strong support of legislation that would establish a federal commission to study proposals of reparation for the descendants of the enslaved African people in the United States. Sheila Jackson Lee [D-TX-18] re-introduced this legislation in the House of Representatives (H.R. 40) on January 3, 2019.
This legislation is long overdue, and should be put into place this year. I fully expect and demand that as the Congress gets underway, that you will sign on to this bill as a co-sponsor and do all that you can to ensure its enactment.
This legislation is an important first step in acknowledging the inherent cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery as practiced in the United States, and would help millions of people begin to heal the subsequent emotional wounds that have been festering for centuries.
In confronting the ugly legacy of enslavement and white supremacy, the commission created by H.R. 40 would examine the impact slavery and the other white supremacy terrorism and injustices has had on the racial and economic inequalities still suffered today by the descendants of the enslaved in America.
The commission would also be charged with reviewing reparation proposals to help people of whose ancestors were enslaved in America to regain some of the stature stripped of their ancestors lost through no fault of their own and making recommendations on how we can best heal these wounds.
I hope that you will join me in strong support of H.R. 40 as well as any companion bill in the Senate.
Please let me know your thoughts on this legislation, as well as what you intend to do to see that it is enacted in the Congress, and what I may do to help.
Sincerely,

I don't care about Black Authority and his views. The H.R 40 is needed. We need to make sure we get EVERYTHING that is owed.
