:heh: So we making up facts now?

- No not all CBC members support H.R 40 .Jim Clyburn from South Carolina has already said he was against it.

I don't have have to lie. Good chance I'd slap the shyt out you just on gp for this.



-Do Democrat’s believe in criminal justice reform? I don’t think so since they never put anything out there.
So what has Pressley "put out there" since you're vouching for her? Im just trying to understand why you consider her talk game to be more valuable than these other black dems talk game.

-Your last point is not true at all. Justice democrats only has 1.5 million to its name. You over estimate their reach and Ayanna has already come out for reparations so why would I care about A.O.C views.
You know that I'm not wrong you lying ass bytch. Pressley is a justice democrat the same as AOC. They were behind her in that campaign to win the seat in Massachusetts. You're a real piece of shyt lying for no reason.

AOC initially came out in support for reparations too, then she got specific and people saw what time it was. Again, I'm just wondering why you've instantly fallen for this Pressley woman's talk game when she hasn't actually shown and proved what she's really about yet.

You're another childish idiot trolling under the ados banner.

Above the fray.
Roland Martin was as you said born in Houston. But regardless of your agreement of his politics, he has lived 50+years as a black man in America. To say he doesn't have claim to the black American experience is a stretch.
Out of Roland's 8 great grandparents.............6 are African American, the other 2 were Haitian immigrants .

I can't see who you're replying to, because they are on my ignore list but when fool ass tariq got people to buy the "fukk Roland, he's not one of us, his grandmother was an immigrant" line........ I cringed,and have been cringing ever since. Roland's 6/8th AA heritage magically disappears because an uneducated YTer says so.


As for the rest of your post, that I didn't quote, I disagree, your family's heritage and history does in fact matter. You're confusing assimilation and acculturation with cultural heritage.

Sure. In particular those currently living who went through the Jim Crow era. I would advocate for that easily because it's a more persuadable argument and some of them still live with that mental health trauma.

I'm 100% sure. Descents of slaves will never get reparations. Too much time has passed. It would never pass both Houses of Congress.

Uh, I've always made fun of the Tariq don't vote crew. They're idiots.

So why are you being such a p*ssy and not advocating to vote people in with a shared interest? You gotta stop spreading that "it'll never happen even though it's the right thing to do and i want it" That's not the mindset of people that want advancement and fair compensation for our people.
Slave owners received reparations
Japanese received reparations for them and their heirs
Jewish people received reparations
Native American and black farmers received reparations

You’re 100% sure? And you are?

Not saying it doesn't matter but what we have here on this board are individuals who don't deal in nuance and instead probably because they are like cult followers of YouTube personalities refuse to maybe examine their own sloganeering they hock and see if in reality it makes sense. At some point even the cultural heritage of say the grandson of great grandson will start to disappear in the assimilation process and this may be uniquely an American situation. In America, unless you're a new immigrant socially and how you're viewed and treated, you're black, unless it's obvious you just arrived over here from Kenya or something or maybe your parents instilled their culture heavily on you and I argue that influence typically doesn't last past one generation. For example, take the Obama. Obama highlights his Kenyan heritage heavily but I have doubts his daughters who are even further assimilated in ADOS through their mother have the same affinity for that heritage. It seems to dissipate pretty quickly and at some point you have to ask does the distinction outside of being specific really matter as far as how one lives their life.

Though I'm speaking in general I know places like say new York, nationality and specific ethnic ghettos outside of your standard China towns and, err Mexican areas exist and maybe it's a different dynamic there.
