Tariq called into the reparations task force in california to tell them who is qualified or not

[Phitz]

I said most. There are still a few families left in Amherstberg, Dresden, Chatham Kent, Buxton, etc but majority of the families have left for Detroit, Chicago, and Toronto.

No BUT, stay on the POINT. They are DESCENDANTS of AMERICAN SLAVES.

and there ARE LOTS of them in the Maritimes and small communities in the praries.

Toronto is still in CANADA

The only issue I have with what he said is that he didn't define 'Black'......unless there's unedited footage of his entire statement where he does.

Too damn ambiguous.​

This is why actual lawyers have to craft laws.

Also there needs to be a class action lawsuit that doesnt get shot down by the supreme court

Why are y’all letting this dude @Phitz derail the thread with strawman arguments. He’s talking about a minute amount of people.

like less than a 1% of black Americans. Who gives a fukk if they get reparations or not, let’s focus on the big picture.

The important part is lineage and identifying as black for the past 10yrs. There are a lot of passing blacks that are going to be disqualified off rip.

I kept the thread on topic

I kept the thread on topic

and I gave you an answer. The scholars and policy makers will decide on the couple hundred or thousand or so people you worried about.

 

[Mowgli]

It's wild that the reparations discussion is back on the table because of tone and Yvette but they voted tone out of the task force and went rogue.

 

[DaddyFresh]

Reparation ain’t even close to being paid and Tariq already got dudes bickering over who qualifies and not . Y’all getting played like puppets

 

[You Win Perfect]

Tariq should just run for office. I'd love to see him tone down the rhetoric to win votes

You’re a weirdo

 

[Standing on business]

So the reparations task force is black people talking amongst themselves deciding who should get reparations?

So what exactly happens when this info reaches the desk of the cacs who have to sign off and write the check?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Does that mean the descendents of the underground rail road who still live in Canada and the former slaves and free blacks that went to Liberia, and the descendents from the soldiers from WWI and WWII still in Europe are included? Alot of these people still have their FBA paperwork.

Tariq you reading this? Yes indeed?

These are actually some valid points that I've never thought about. There's an argument to be made that Liberia has received some funds from the US government, but I'm sure it wasn't enough.

And then what about people that fled the country and moved to Canada? These are valid points.

 

[MostReal]

good stuff Tariq

 

[Thebadguy]

They should expand it to black people whose ancestors were listed as mulatto on the 1870 census too
