The thread on the ongoing California reparations study.
When I entered the thread I was quick to point out that 1) This is taking place in the biggest and most liberal state in the union. 2) This is being accomplished by real activists forging alliances with liberal leaders, professors, and elected state Democrats. And of course 3) How this was accomplished thus far contradicts the entire TLR pretend miltant non-strategy.
They're not waiting until the week of an election to rally people against voting. They're not trying to conflate reparations with some Blexit agenda of getting black people to "stop being loyal to Democrats." They're not passively supporting white power Republicans as some vague form of building "leverage." They're not pushing alt-right adjacent hashtags or their dumbass scam "leaders" as authorities of the subject.
What's going on in California is a true model for how we can achieve real policy for black people in this country. And I hope it spreads to every blue state and eventually beyond. This is how we get the country to pay attention to our needs. By putting in the work of engaging with our government, not by disengaging, leaving political power in this country to white folks to change all the laws and then waiting for rich white people who could give a shyt either way to come crawling begging for our votes or whatever these nikkas are fantasizing on Youtube.
"What has voting Dem gotten us" it's gotten us governments California. Beacons of liberal ideology and civil rights where this shyt is at least possible. Just like California made legal weed eventually happen for all of us. But a bunch of weirdos with the maturity of high schoolers rather shoot themselves in the throat than be on the same side as homosexuals...
So I had no problem calling out the usual hashtag idiots cited in this thread high fiving each other over some shyt that would have never been accomplished had they gotten their way. Bunch of hypocrites who can't stop bytching about Democrats and liberals, always talking about "black people are more conservative than liberal" and other outer space shyt they pull out their asses, preaching the untapped virtues of black people lending political power to white power Republicans for "leverage" are now sitting around looking to the state of California and their voters to accomplish their goals.
nikkas wanna be Republicans so bad but wanna take credit for the work of liberalism as always. Confused ass nikkas dont give a fukk about real black political power.
The OP herself was a major sub-MAGA Yvette Carnell stan who use to big up the likes of Ann Coulter and every anti-immigrant white power conservative as an "ally" to "black Americans." Many of the people celebrating in the thread were the same ones that insulted the entire study, called it nothing, and said we need to stop voting instead. Hell one poster in that thread who is from California and one of the biggest Trump supporters on the forum has stated in the past he hates Gavin and wishes Democrats in his state were replaced with Republicans. Bigging this up like he got something to do with it.
I was hoping my comment would prompt a discussion about how this can be a real model for the rest of the country and how voting and party politics DOES have a positive impact on black power. This way we can finally get off the hashtaggers and right wing propaganda trying to disable our political power, and move forward with a more clear political movement.
My post was labeled derailment and deleted. The thread of course devolved into the same old "immigrants and Democrats trying to sabotage our claim" incoherent bashing that has nothing to do with the reality of the work going on in Cali.
shyt just made me realize how much of a useless place TLR is. The mods who run the place are every bit as much immature fake militants lacking in any sort of critical thinking or reading comprehension as the rest. Place is dead ass some twisted black version of 4c**n full of anti social clowns with some confusing hatred of liberalism they obviously learned from cacs.
They don't give a fukk about black politics or power over there, just doing their little militant roleplay, bashing immigrants, and Republican Party shilling. Anyone who breaks that up with some common sense and articulation is not welcome.
Now I see why folks who care about real politics stay here. TLR is a total joke. Can't take the place serious no more. Salute to Cali for once again being on the forefront of what this nation needs to be doing.
