Live Now! HR 40 Reparations for African American Slavery Congressional Hearing

[Chrishaune]

Mr. Smalwell calling out that mess. He sees through it. A couple of the questioners said they like Donald Glover's movies, but didn't give him an opportunity to speak on what he's really there for.....

You're just a small player in this game, play your part son....

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Ego is a muhfukka HR40 finally has a hearing after all these years and you got people tryna make it about them rather than the actual fight for reparations.

 

[Kasgoinjail]

How is this going so far haven’t had a chance to catch it.

Any mention of the 35 countries that are members of the Organisation of American States?

*edit

Danny Glover seems like he's just rambling

You think bringing pundits and athletes is better than bringing in people who actually studied the subject?

 

[dj-method-x]

The people she’s talking about were invited by republicans.

Once again she’s making this about her. Her and her over inflated ego need to take a hike. Coates, Malveux, Booker, Jackson and the other witnesses invited by Dems to help make the case for reparations did their thing.

They should be pushing it

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

They’re purposefully boxing out the ladies from speaking that truth and giving that c00n kid a lot of air time. Despicable.

 

[Chrishaune]

Why are they not talking to Katrina, the white lady who’s a descendant of slave owners that is for reparations?

Because that's everywhere they don't want to go.

 

[xCivicx]

They know that athletes arent gonna push for any actual progress on the topic

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

Well, I see her point about bringing athletes. It’s really the only black people they care about and an excellent way to avoid a real discussion.

Going pretty good IMO.

Sheila Jackson Lee thanked Caricom, NCobra and a reparations activist from Jamaica who came today to support ADOS. Which was very nice.
