We're in a tough spot with Marianne Williamson

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

On one hand, she's useful for advancing the reparations argument into the presidential race and political discourse, but on the other... she just boxed the argument in brehs


I watched that debate clip on reparations and I GET why it would stir people up, but that's what's so dangerous about it. In her own words, she's aiming for $200-500B because the $100B she initially considered is an insult to the TRILLIONS we're owed, but $200-500B is "politically feasible"

• Not economically feasible.
• Not what's been calculated thru a study and research like HR 40 would propose.
• What's politically feasible.

Isn't that #ADOS main beef with the Democrats? All I hear is what she ''feels'' white people are willing to stomach. Reparations is supposed to address what's owed to African Americans that built this country, not what whites are (highly unlikely) comfortable with doling out-- correct? So what do you do when the foremost candidate leading and supporting the issue just sent placed a salary cap on the entire discussion? This is gonna rear it's ugly head at some point.




TL,DR: The priority shouldn't be what she thinks is "politically" feasible and she definitely shouldn't have thrown a number like that on the stage.

it's not a tough spot if you've correctly viewed all white people as white supremacist and you don't have to be a white, to be one
Then use your vote to prove that you're so about a particualar stance/issue that you finna only vote for those who are for it
And if the Dem party takes a stance like the Repubs, then vote 3rd or 4th party, show Repubs and Dems that your vote isn't defacto Dem

But Black folks aren't a threat with the vote, they've already shown that a stance/issue repeated by certain individuals/media will force them to abandon that stance/issue and that other people's concerns take precedence over their own...thus the constant lip service from Dems

You've got it all wrong.

The bolded is kinda the point... we just got lip service and the rest of the country got guidelines on how far this reparations discussion can actually go.

You've got it all wrong.

I mean, these are just my thoughts. I wouldn't have made a thread on it if I weren't open to input.

Win or lose, we brought a specific black agenda to the forefront. We finally set the bar (politically) when it comes to politicians dealing with us. They can’t come amongst us reciting rap lyrics and talking about hot sauce in their bag. We’re serious about policy, that low number can be amended once we get in the door

 

[Swagnificent]

I feel sorry for all ya'll that actually believe reparations have any chance of happening. This is nothing more than political gamesmanship.

Black folks needs to work to fix our own situation than hoping for white people to do the right thing after hundreds of years.

They're only discussing reparations right now to inflame the white community to come out for Donald Trump so it doesn't happen.

Whites are already getting lukewarm on Trump. Put reparations on the Democratic platform and watch the racists flock back to Trump once again.

Yep exactly.

2020 is just the starting point, not the finish line..Before we get into the specifics of policy, the first thing we need to do is transform our thinking and become more politically mature.

I see this happening on a grass roots level and it’s pretty exciting.

Are you conceding to the notion I'm making?

1. #ADOS is a cac supremacist / russian bot movement
2. If a candidate is serious about winning, then they should NOT fully support reparations
3. You guys seriously cant see the game that's being ran on you?

The only way to counter lip service is action. Proven everytime folks who receive lip service from their job/cell service/car dealership/spouse, take advantage of their options
