Cash should be first since slaves were property and could be traded as currency.

I am riding with my comment. My comment is that Black people largely don't produce anything.

That is a fact.

Whether we're spending money with Asians or whites, the money is still exiting the community.
It may be a fact but it's not like you can't seek out black owned businesses....I bank with a black owned bank....I purchase drinks for my kids from a black owned company....there are also black owned shoe companies....I have shoes from Heron Preston and boots from Brother Vellies....if you make the effort you probably wouldn't be thinking the way you do....

Some amount of black people will undoubtedly squander the opportunity, but that's their problem. It's not 90% though :mjpls:
We really need to have a honest conversation about reparations.. Because if we get that shyt, after that we basically on our own.. If we do get it, which we deserve, we CANNOT move like we're moving now as a people.. Shyt must change.

Reparations in the form of money would be stage 1 of another large transfer of wealth.

Having a bunch of money to buy goods and services largely produced outside of the Black community does nothing to fix the condition we're in.
But it's up to the individual person to spend it however they want.

If you choose to give it right back on sneakers etc.

Other than that you can save it and use it on paying off debt or housing down payment etc.

He is right and he is wrong. 100% correct in saying black people need knowkedge of self among other things,before getting checks.


But this is laughable coming from the so called prince of pan africanism smh. Only thing you should care about is black people getting money so we can leave the country. Not about having control over music and patents. The only education you should be worried about,is whether black people know once we get this check we dipping. He shouldnt care about anybody who is not of that thinking.


But it is a trap for the assimilateds. They will get their checkw and give it right back to the banks that fund their oppression.


No policing the shyt cut people they check if they sink they sink. People are adults none of this babying shyt


You would rather all 50 million black people get money. Than to have the money allocated to a smaller number of chosen black people? Why not police the money and give it to already established black businesses? Black people who actually bring a plan to build a black infrastructure?


I think this is proof black people dont actually want to nation build in this country#MustbeTheMoney #WhatWouldDeionDo. So hopefully they do just cut the checks. And the righteous non assimilateds can leave the country and get away from the negropeans.
