Because most of it was a psy-op funded by republican dark money to get niccas to stay home. Trump lost so the desire to ferment that shyt went along with him.

It would have made sense to pressure Obama and his ADOS wife with reparations.

A lot of people think that reparations can be made with Trump in the WH :mjlol: . The same Trump that is trying to erase slavery from history textbooks. Without slavery in those books, the whole repararions issue disappears.

The John Conyers Reparations legislation had been stuck in the House Committee stage since 1989, and could have been strenuously advocated for by the community, the Congressional Black Caucus and civil rights groups like the NAACP and National Urban League, when a Black-led administration was in power, and for the two years that Democrats controlled Congress.

Reparations could have gotten the community push 2008 - 2016 that Health Care reform and Gay Marriage received from its advocates.

The online-based push for it did not happen until Trump of all people ran for, and took office in 2016. Amazing.

:mjlol:Bruh. :francis:Not wrong.


Randall Robinson was all over television and radio in 2001 talking about his reparations book, "The Debt."

That book could have been at the forefront of Black support for the Obama candidacies and platforms in both 2008 and 2012.

Instead folks waited for the racial savior Donald Trump to take office to make the case for reparations.

Chuck d never pushed shyt forward. If the black community shyt on me after I tried to help them and get anything for they vote from the people they were already gonna vote for them fukk them.

clearly that’s not what the people wanted. They wanted a look, they wanted Kamala in office and they wanted someone who ran with Obama to be the president.

all black people care about is a look. We are in the exact same spot as we was in with trump. Nothing changed for us.
You doing too much. Biden was never popular. People didn't want a dictatorship. That is all.

Let's stop pretending we didn't see an attempt at a coup in America.

It went from Pass HR 40 to Edit HR 40 to HR 40 is worthless and all the while, they snub their nose as Black voters for sticking with the Democrats when they're not conceding our demands/reparations.

The Dems deserve a ton of smoke but... which demand are you talking about??? :gucci: The shyt shifted 3 times in like 2 years.

Its because a lot of people don't care about John Conyers and his legacy, nor care about reparations like that. They are very reaction-based and only follow orders of formally uneducated people that don't study history.

When I hear "reparations reparations!!" and not hear John Conyers name, I just go :snoop: at the disrespect of the lack of mentioning his name. But when you hear the people who try to scream about "REAPRATIONS!" In the Donald Trump administration, they really *don't* be fighting that hard, unless someone with clout says the same thing, first. :sas2:

You need to make a thread about this. On him and John Conyers.
