I finally watched that Kamala Harris Reparations clip the BothSiders love

[DetroitEWarren]

Random but, what did the PDF Filer app ever do to be synonymous pedophilia? I've used it to change check stubs and drug test results. Them nikkas took hella loses since you had to use PDF File on YouTube to describe a pedo. It's hilarious and fukked up at the same time

 

[CrimsonTider]

And will continue to do so

Why

 

[Prodyson]

What an idiot

1. You literally started out admitting you ignored the video for years because you were too much of a p*ssy to accept the truth

2. The interviewer asked her a simple yes or no question “do you support reparations for black people?” That is a yes or no question. Kamala’s response is “well, listen”

3. She specifies how black Americans specifically were targeted for racist policy for the last 200+ years but immediately follows with “a rising boat lifts all tides” rhetoric.

4. The interviewer doesn’t let her dodge the question and reiterates “so you don’t support policy specifically for black Americans?”

5. Kamala juelzes again and says “any policy that benefits black Americans benefits everyone”

That’s simply not true. How did the US giving reparations to holocaust victims benefit black Americans? How did the US giving reparations to the Japanese benefit black Americans? How did the US giving reparations to native Americans benefit black Americans?

Neither party supports reparations for black Americans. Kamala harris doesn’t even have an ancestor who was enslaved in the US so why would she support reparations?

You should have continued to ignore the video like you been doing for the last 5 YEARS

Thinking that reparations specifically for black people wouldn’t be possible is a REASONABLE belief, whether or not it’s true, based on the history of this country. She doesn’t ignore the need to help black people but simply says, if you create policies that target the largest disparities, you will disproportionately help black people without having to say “this is for black people.” And that is how you prevent things like the reversal of affirmative action.

Now it does mean that successful black people won’t benefit nearly as much, but it does get the population as a whole closer to being on equal footing

I’d be curious to know the educational level of the people who are on this reparations or bust kick. It’s like most of you have abandoned critical thought for brute force thinking. And if you want to go brute force, that’s fine. But go all the way. You can’t brute force through politics without power. So why don’t I see ya’ll out in the street shutting down government buildings and busting heads until you get what you want?

might have a point here though native americans get treated differently than other americans due to established governmental policies

they wouldnt be able to come out of nowhere and give them that treatment in todays age if it hadnt been established years and years ago first

Harris and Walz meet with 'uncommitted' leaders, union members during Detroit campaign stop - WDET 101.9 FM

The movement's founders both had a brief chance to speak with Harris and Walz at the rally of roughly 15,000 supporters at Detroit Metro Airport.

wdet.org

Uncommitted National Movement founders Layla Elabed and Abbas Alawieh both had an opportunity to speak briefly with Harris and Walz at the rally.

The two Uncommitted leaders each shared their concerns about the U.S. supplying weapons to Israel, and requested a formal meeting with Harris to further discuss their demands of an arms embargo and a permanent ceasefire.

The vice president shared her sympathies and expressed an openness to a meeting with Uncommitted leaders to discuss an arms embargo.

Harris campaign says it doesn't support Israel arms embargo

The news comes after Ms Harris was heckled at a rally in Michigan by pro-Palestinian protestors.

www.bbc.com

Kamala Harris will not support an arms embargo on Israel, her national security adviser says, a day after the presidential candidate was heckled by pro-Palestinian protesters at a rally in Detroit.


Ms Harris's rally on Wednesday took place in a swing state that is home to the largest Arab-American community in the US.

Leaders of the Uncommitted movement said in a statement that they had a chance to speak to the vice-president before the rally and told her that the US needed an arms embargo.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Man stupid ass up OP. You clowns do anything to say “vote blue no matter who” and disregarding the fact that y’all just want black people to go out and vote without getting anything in return SPECIFICALLY FOR US

bytch specifically said that she won’t do anything for us to benefit just us and this super dumbass trying to spin the narrative that make it seems like she’s going to do shyt for black people.

 

[Redwood]

That's an awful video and an awful look for Kamala. Did she ever apologize for it?

I don't think she did nor will she plan on doing so.

 

[UpNext]

I don't think she did nor will she plan on doing so.

And to be fair to her, she doesn't have to when she has millions of useful idiot shillbrehs who will not only accept this kind of talk from a politician but will talk down on you for having the self respect to question it. Folks making this thread and agreeing with OP is proof of this.

I already addressed this, Kamala is not saying she doesn’t think passing reparations isn’t feasible.

She is saying she is against the the very idea of giving black Americans compensation for systematic racism. Bernie sanders said the same thing. Democrats believe that black Americans are the only people that should not be addressed as a individual demographic. It’s called the benign neglect policy. The benign neglect policy allows them to satisfy the “liberal” white vote.

That’s why they’re always calling us “black and brown” “black and latino” “minority” we have to be included with at least 1 other group.

I also addressed the “rising tide lifts all boats” rhetoric. Giving everybody equal amounts of resources in a system with wealth inequality only further worsens the wealth gap. It doesn’t disproportionately benefit black people.

It’s just basic capitalism. During the pandemic for instance, everyone received the same amount of money but were all still competing for the same resources. The result is inflation due to higher demand for the same limited supply of consumer goods like housing, cars, etc. Yeah you got $2000 but used car prices also increased $2k, grocery prices went up, housing prices increase etc. The people that own the assets like homes are the benefactors.

Saying “a rising tide lifts all boats” is no different than “trickle down economics” It’s a lie and a excuse to continue policies that benefit the intended group. If you don’t understand basic economics and capitalism then don’t insinuate reparations supporters are uneducated.

 

[Black Panther]

if you keep deleting words and context then yeah you can make shyt sound like 1=1 even though we're saying 1=/= 2. A policy that adds value in a way that mostly benefits black americans is not the same as a policy that adds value to ONLY black americans.

I wouldn't say it's the same but it's clear that BothSiders want two things instead of one:

1. Benefits solely devised for and to the benefit of Black people

2. To receive these benefits at the expense of other groups in this country, especially Whites, [somehow] without their support or consent

And then they complain when they don't get shït.


Dudes have no concept of strategy at all. As if receiving absolutely nothing is more noble or admirable than working with what you got.

Obama Administration Awards $12M for Assistance to Holocaust Survivors

wassermanschultz.house.gov

“After Biden launched the initiative in December 2013, the White House in 2014 named a special envoy to the community to coordinate volunteer activities to assist the survivors.

The Obama administration has awarded $12 million for assistance to Holocaust survivors.

The allocation from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Jewish Federations of North America, to be disbursed over five years, is part of an initiative launched in late 2013 by Vice President Joe Biden to address the needs of survivors in the United States, a quarter of whom live below the poverty line.

Combined with matching private funds, the approximately $2.5 million per year over the five years “will support $4.1 million in programming annually for organizations that help Holocaust survivors,” the JFNA said. According to JFNA, the funds will be used to advance “innovations in person-centered, trauma-informed supportive services for Holocaust survivors.”

“With this award, we will be able to advance our efforts to provide crucial services to vulnerable survivors, including those living in poverty, those in the Orthodox Jewish community and those from the former Soviet Union,” Mark Wilf, the chairman of the JFNA’s National Holocaust Survivor Initiative, said in a statement.

@RamsayBolton Can you please explain how giving holocaust victims reparations benefited black Americans?

nikka this is your example? Health and human Services giving money to programs? Did you know that the Jewish Federation of North America helps all races? How do I know? I worked for them like 10 years ago and we did hella outreach to lower income communities of all races, and helped lots of black americans. Stop throwing out shyt to fit your agenda.

[timeless]

To be honest, even your explanation can't fix what she said. She's only reminding black people that this country is built on racism and there's nothing she can do. That's it.

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Were their largest and most loyal voting block.....Why can't we be addressed directly?

We have systematic concerns that are specific to us. Lumping our issues in with everyone else for the last 40 years hasn't worked.

They address women and gays directly all the time.
