Which ones are giving out reparations today?
Tennessee GOP state House of Representatives 🔴, a former actual confederate state, has passed a bill preventing even the study of reparations

Which ones are giving out reparations today?
“AND WHAT ARE DA DEMS DOING TO STOP IT!”
where’s ADOS Nashville?
Bothsiders, the floor is yours
I thought your strategy to deliver reparations was working or is it bound to produce result any moment now
Give us a date/ timeframe we can expect your strategy or lack thereof to start producing tangible result.
Bare in mind that republicans in both the federal govt and states legislature will have to be on board and vote for it too. Good luck with that
Y'all are becoming the 40 year old aspirational mixtape rapper whose career is destined to take off soon. Might be time to take the L

So in other words, Republicans are up front and overt with their intentions of not cutting the check
while Democrats are promising studies for decade after decade while never cutting the check, aka doing the exact same thing in a covert fashion
Hmm, sounds exactly like what "both sides" has been saying
Where was the studies to cut illegal immigrants checks, give them free housing, etc.? Where were the studies to bless Ukraine and Israel with billions? Why didn't it require 20 years of studies and commissions to give them money?

so you're happy you got a 'study'.
Israel gets free health care and education from American tax dollars.
Ukraine gets all kinds of weapons and even gets their pensions funded off
Illegal immigrants get free health care, free housing, debit cards to get food
but we get studies
and those 'allies' are openly saying no to cash payments

Yes
This is a lazy argument I doubt you've even looked up the other times Tennessee Dems have done reparations studies.
In any case combating a regressive measure is not the same as backing a progressive measure because the regressive measure puts you in a more negative state from the get go.
You guys love conflating different types budget appropriations for different agencies lol. Maybe you'd have an easier time getting reparations if you could attach it to the defense budget.

And Phillip Scott really talkin bout republicans as if they will give reparations…
illegal immigrants are present recipients of aid, not their descendants.
Do you not see the issue? Even if conservatives or opposition elements to reparations are trolling or acting in bad faith, they can say “well you weren’t directly harmed by slavery or Jim Crow so you aren’t eligible”.
The aid you’re referencing is to current subjects of this disparity.
Thats a present recipient dealing with foreign enemies
Their country is being invaded by a foreign enemy presently
Present recipient.
As descendants...
Republican elected officials are against reparations.
And california voters dont want to pay reparations.
maybe its time to move on and ask for something you can get passed into law because either what was being requested, how it was pursued, or why it was advocated for isn’t working.
Change up the tactic and find something that meets some of what you want to accomplish within hinging it on a zero-sum outcome.
We've been hearing the studies and commission rhetoric for years on years on years. However, other groups get cut a check instantly.
Bernie sanders says no to reparations for black Americans
Joe Biden asked about reparations and praises Latinos instead
The rising tide raises all boats ya'll.
Joe Biden flat out answered the question about reparations for blacks by praising Latinos and once again, it plays out exactly as expected. Latinos crossing the border illegally get free housing, food, potential work permits and other benefits. Haitians get deported. Black Americans who were wronged for over 400 years get absolutely nothing but dreams of a 'study'.
Somehow people who broke the law to come here get cash immediately but actual citizens who were wronged get promises of 'i'll think about it' come voting season.
Thats a policy failure, and one I want parity for with regards to all illegal migrants, but this is about reparations.
Because we’re talking about present migrants and you have to sell people on the idea that dead ancestors and their lineage deserve compensation.
