Republicans on Reparations “No.”

[TRY GOD]

All I know is that as soon as Trump wins a second term , all this talk about reparation will be over because the damage will already be done.
Y'all getting bamboozled.

You are fukking stupid.

Just because im telling the truth? it wont completely die , but you will barely hear about it.
Everybody else will go back to regular programming once the elections are over.

If ADOS supporters didn’t think it was possible to work with Democrats, then there would be no point in demanding anything from them. So even if the Democrats don’t support the cause for reparations now, ADOS seems to believe that they can be moved to a point where they do in the future, if proper political pressure (i.e. not voting) is applied.

ADOS also seems to believe that the GOP will never support reparations, which is why they see trying to demand anything of the Republicans to be a waste of time. That’s all well and good, but here’s the situation: if the Republicans win in 2020, they will be in a position to further influence the Supreme Court for the next half century.

That means that even if you do push the Democrats to support reparations in the future, they will have a very hard time pushing through any meaningful legislation on that issue and making it stick with a Republican-dominated SCOTUS.

The next Democratic candidate may not support reparations, but that candidate – or, at least, their party – could at least be persuaded in the future. And at least that President probably won’t appoint people hostile to the very concept of reparations to the Supreme Court, which should be the important thing.

Neither party supports reparations right now, so you have to think in the long-term. You could hold your vote and help let the GOP win, sure. That’s your right. But ADOS has a lot more to lose in doing that than any of the Democratic candidates currently do. It just seems like a really stupid idea if you’re actually trying to force long-term change.

This is why I asked for a plan if ADOS is presented with the reality of a GOP-friendly Supreme Court. But it doesn’t look like there is one.

We don't give a fukk about your whataboutizms. You are just juelzing. You are defeating your own argument. You say that the Republicans will be in position to influence the government so that it won't be in the benefit of ADOS. Then you go on to say that maybe, just maybe, if the Democrats get into office they may be able to do something.

These are the same fukking arguments, you negated yourself:awdahell:


ADOS are owed a Justice claim, thats why the ADOS name exist, for legal measures. If These parties don't find a way to give us what is owed, then we will take the country to court. If the courts don't solve our problems, then...well...we will have to take emergency compensatory measures, what ever that may be.

1,000,000 ADOS on code out of 30+MILLION ADOS, utilizing compensatory measures, would destroy this country, dont forget we are at every single level in this country in all aspects. Those are our 3 options. That is leverage.


Now you are going to make a "well such and such aint gonna happen cause such and such" post, but I know you know you have nothing to follow up with to my post

Too bad so sad
Cut the check, bums!!!!

 

[TRY GOD]

what is so hard for some of you to understand?

stop with that dumb shyt about he got his wall. when did that happen? the only money he has right now is a drop in the bucket to rebuild existing portions of the border wall. as far as i know he's trying to take money from other parts of the budget that were already appropriated to certain projects. since congress is the only body that can re-appropriate funds you can bet he won't get any significant amount of new money to the wall once they take him to court.

legislatively....

if and when dems pass a reparations bill in the house the rethugs say they will shut it down in the senate.

dunce says he will veto it if it somehow makes it through the house and senate to his desk.

the only way to pass reparations through legislation is for dems to have a supermajority in both the house and senate...and have a dem pres.

all this talk about foot on dems neck and they owe us, etc won't mean much unless a bunch of white people also vote in dems for the house and senate in huge numbers. we just don't have enough numbers in all states to vote in senators we want. same goes for our numbers in state districts to vote in the house reps we want.

i'm not saying this to be defeatist i'm saying this cause a lot of you are avoiding reality and either trolling or have no clue how the process works.

i do think its possible to get some traction legislatively, but we have to be consistent and unified in our votes.

the other thing we could do is put pressure on private corporations who profited from the slave trade. they need to be paying reparations. we can put pressure on them with our wallets and through bad media. we forced papa johns to fall back and same with starbucks. we can take that further and make these companies start pledging money to college funds or other type of financials.

what we can't do is fall for the okie doke. i saw an article where georgetown admitted to selling off slaves back in the day to keep their school running. what did the student body do? voted to raise their own tuition so they could give some of their money to black scholarships. what did georgetown do? say sorry and put up a statue. fukk that! how tf do you not hold them accountable for giving back their own money?? that's the type of shyt we can't let happen.

What is so hard for you to understand that we are owed a Debt? I don't give a fukk about you splaining for them fakkits on capital hill, they made shyt happen for the indians, they made shyt happen for the JAPs here and in Japan, literally built their whole fukking country back up, as well as Germany. They gave fukking jews shyt, and they didn't need congress at all.

Miss me with the process of how nikkas that owe us something are going to get it.

Your bill collectors Don't give a fukk about how you get the money nikka, your fukking lights are out if you don't pay.

No one is responsible for wht happened 150 years ago, but they sure can benefit from it though

 

[The M.I.C.]

Going to need to go to war.

Political processes are all nice and good til it ain't..they're not going to give up anything willingly, this is why I'm lukewarm because #ADOS champions are not realizing that this will take a movement of blood to accomplish this. shyt..even Sun Tzu speaks to this principle.. You can't negotiate with the devil and his children when they have the leverage and the longer you remain stagnant the more risk builds up for the movement to collapse.

you're a fukkin idiot and a terrible representative of the reparations movement. dumb fukks like you who don't care how shyt works but just talk loud about wanting to get shyt done without a plan take up space from people who can put in real work and get shyt done. that brehette who contributes to the rep discussions is one of the few who have any sense. you a waste of time and i ain't even responding to your sped azz anymore.

Trump is getting a Second term, if the democratic nominee talks about reparations.

Im starting to see why democrats ignore black people. These white liberals ain't all that liberal when it comes to doing things for black people.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I never seen so many ppl in my life like in TLR who want to vote against own interests or not vote at all to "hurt the Democrats" like that is somehow gonna accomplish something?

Most dems are shytty politicians as well but do they propose and get through policy that helps the people I love? Yeah they do sometimes.. far from perfect.

Has the GOP ever helped my family? fukk no

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

And I need to see this thread do about 100 pages like a typical "AOC says something stupid" thread does

at least progressives got some ideas. GOP is status fukkin quo for eternity

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Theres no bill that Trump would veto faster than a reparations bill.

Trump would hit the reparations bill with this shyt so fast

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]
