Look at our POC allies :mjpls:


If you came to America, it means you benefited from its positive. In that case, you should assume its negatives.


If reparations are based on the idea that AA provided work which created wealth for this country without being paid for it, all the immigrants who came here to live the American dream, which means to take advantage of the wealth present in the US, should participate in the reparation, since they indirectly benefited from AA's work.

:ufdup:STOP RIGHT HERE.

:awdahell:WE HAVE BEEN GETTING USED FOR 400 YEARS.

Maybe now we will have something to show for it. This one-sided uses over with. Now we're going to use each other

You've picked a very suspect time to stand up for reparations.

Get Medicare for All and free higher education first.

Those are tangibles. The may not be "reparations" but they're apt repentance for when it was illegal to teach you to read.

Reparations aren't coming because no slave is still alive (at least according to the people who could enact such a thing).

Take that nonsense up with the states, corporations and wealthy individuals. Do you know that you can trace ancestry back to specific white people? Take 'em to court!

No president is going to cut you a check, even if he wanted to. The opposition can defeat you arguing about the logistics alone.

Leave the most important election of our generation out of your hotep fantasies.

And remember -- with Medicare for All and free 21st-century higher education (taking advantage of all the conveniences of the digital age), maybe you can make your own reparations. (...Or at least your kids will have the option.) Then when you're collectively strong and respected, maybe someone will give you reparations (though I doubt it).

I'm glad bernie said no to reparations. Shows he's not pandering.

Watch for trump's people to hint that he's for reparations. It's no coincidence that the only white people you hear talking this shyt are people like Ann Coulter and David Brooks.

People don't understand how politics works. If its an easy going message, politicians will release it at the beginning of the week.

If its a message that will get a huge conversation started, negative and positive, they release it on the weekend.

Republicans just sent a shot at Democrats and they can't fire back because its the weekend. Now a conversation is about to get started, and democrats are going to have to scramble to catch up next week.

Expect this from democrats next week

Mean while republicans are now on the offense like:mjwatch:. They fukked up letting republicans pick up their fumble, democrats had many chances to pick it back up, but they just let it get away and republicans were like, "fukk it, ill pick it up":manny:
