Are black people not allowed to have empathy with a people who are being bombed to smithereens? with U.S. weapons? and are black people not allowed to protest against these atrocities if people may or may not support reparations?
breh, you need to understand solidarity

He's the Usain Bolt of shyt-posting
No one in 2024 is getting reparations through "political capital".
Only about 20-25% of Whites and 50-60% of Hispanics and Asians support reparations for Black people. Considering how controversial and expensive reparations would be and how easy it is to block federal legislation, you can't even dream of "expending political capital" for reparations until those numbers hit somewhere around 40% White support buttressed by a strong majority of non-White support. Only when there's 50+% total voter support will exercising political capital to build the political support be something we can start talking about.
You know how you build those sorts of coalitions to create 50+% public support? By putting principles above tribalism and setting an example that ALL people should fight for the rights and causes of the oppressed, regardless of their own ethnic background. Convincing people that justice and human rights for Palestinians matters more than political alliances makes them MORE likely to support justice for Black people too.
He said "All from the comfort of America" in response to American politicians protesting America's treatment of the Palestinian issue. How would leaving America constitute "acting on your principles" for the people involved here? That's the classic "protesters shouldn't live here if they don't like it" right-wing response.
You just shyt-posted a stock response to an accurate meme without even thinking about whether your response applied or not.

This is an enormous issue. I don't know if capping is the right solution, but something needs to be done because no child should ever, ever be growing up that close to a freeway.
You're creating a strawman no different than his.
You're both attempting to paint a broad brush to remove valid and nuanced criticism.
In this case, a guy who was a part of the administration and resigned is now attempting to make the argument that his voice is being silenced despite further distancing himself from the very thing he claims he wants (an open channel to the administration).
His actions were performative. If he wanted to make the argument they were being racist (Palestinian isn't a race) he could have maintained his job, penned his op-ed and see if he would have been fired for speaking out.
As it stands, he's just attention seeking and has accomplishedittle if anything since he resigned in January.
We know that Harris and her team have met with them personally, we know she supports an immediate ceasefire, and we know the Biden administration is working towards one as we speak.
The argument has shifted from we want a ceasefire fire to we want foreign policy done explicitly on our terms. And that is rejecting progress.
Ironically, you've said many times you're thankful you're parents raised you in the American community you grew up in.He got that stock meme from the campaign head of Clyburn's satellite fan club in NC. He's the meeting water boy
There was clearly something alluring about America they were unable to get in Nigeria.

Why don't you think capping it is the right solution? It's an option and it will pay for itself many times over.
There are other highways in the Bronx where it isn't an option at all you know?
One thing that really has to happen is capping pollution from box trucks and 18 wheelers... they're some of the worst offenders and have laughable regulation/enforcement. When that even happens there will likely be a lengthy phase out period.

Also the meme he posted is such a terrible response to the initial meme it's referencing. The idea that you should only act on your principles when it's easy to do so because you have ample ability is...such a shytheaded sentiment. You should be acting on your principles at all times, especially when it's difficult. That's the entire point of having principles. These neoliberals are just dumb cowards who mistake having credentials and proximity to power for being right(eous).
