Former Rep John Conyers has died

[Pull Up the Roots]

RIP. He did a lot of good.

This the dude who shytted on Dr. Claude Anderson when he was about to bring businesses into a dead Detroit talking bout "We'z can't just help the Blacks. What about the whites in Dearborn".

He did not, you lying piece of shyt. I remember this and it was Kwame who vetoed it. Kay Everett and someone else on the city council were the ones calling it racist and divisive.

Edit: The other council person was Sheila M. Cockrel.

@Barnett114 - That dude is a troll and shyts these threads up with misinformation.

RIP to brother Conyers. I just know the usual suspects are going to go on YouTube tirades about he never did anything for black people.

Wasnt he the same person that advocated reparations prior to 2018 and the #Cutthecheck movement?

If So, he deserves all the praise.

One was a civil rights figure, the other was labeled as one by his party.

Funny how he was never mentioned or given credit to the Reparations Movement post 2018.

RIP to a legend that truly fought for black people's rights in government.
