Essential The Official ADOS Discussion Thread

This is most disappointing.

Why do you use your time in Selma on Edmund Pettus Bridge to be ingratiating towards pro-immigration platforms; YET, won’t even co-sponsor a bill to study reparations for African-American descendants of slaves??? WHY???

I checked and they're right. He didn't cosign this session, but did last session.

I wonder what changed.

This goofy sambo is gettin killed in the comment section of everything he post

While it is true that the neoliberal strategies embraced by the Democratic Party since the 1980s have failed to close the racial wealth gap, the growing disdain for programs that don’t accrue to the exclusive benefit of black Americans is a red herring.

The problem isn’t that universal or economically driven programs can’t significantly close the racial wealth gap. It’s that the means-tested programs backed by the Democratic Party simply don’t go far enough.

All fax!!! Our displeasure with our political apparatus should be obvious; and not open to demagoguery. Great article.

Arguably, Affirmative Action is race-based, but the biggest beneficiaries have been white women. And even though it was designed to address race-based disparities, it’s not clear that it has the intended reparative effect: The beneficiaries of Affirmative Action are disproportionately recent African and Caribbean immigrants, whose parents and grandparents were not victims of the pre-civil rights-era discrimination for which Affirmative Action is ostensibly supposed to compensate.

the usual suspects popping shyt in ADOS threads ain't gonna like that one



Anyways thanks for posting this OP. If I could rep you 10 times for this I would

this is slightly off topic but remember when shills on here were clutching their Pearl's at folks having the audacity to question John Lewis' intentions

The article is saying EXACTLY what I've been repeating on this forum FOR MONTHS.

Radical social programs that distribute wealth in this country like Universal Health Care and the like would disproportionally benefit black people and cannot be put on the back burner because they aren't for blacks and blacks only. This is why we need to be supporting candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But you have people on this forum contemplating not voting for them because they don't have specific programs for black people and black people only. This is a dumb strategy when the social programs they advocate for, which are basically a turn to socialism from capitalism, is exactly what we need and would disproportionally help us the most. And as the article states, these sorts of programs would open the door and make the case for reparations easier.

But cats would rather listen to Tariq Nasheed and them and disown the Democratic Party for emotional reasons and heed to misinformation, thus giving up our political capital and let the Republicans further fukk the country and shyt on our voting rights so that, once they came along, we couldn't put the perfect candidate in office even if we wanted to.

BE STRATEGIC

It doesn't matter that John Lewis isn't a co-sponsor. Co-Sponsors doesn't matter. For example Maxine Waters wasn't a co-sponsor for the Affordable Care Act either, but she voted for it when it counts.

There were only 40 or so democratic co-sponsors for ACA. When it came down to vote for it 219 of democratic representatives voted yes. There are currently 38 co-sponsors for HR-40. That is more than enough.

bytching about who co-sponsors a bill is just showing ignorance to how bills are written and passed in congress.

EDIT: John Lewis is listed as a co-sponsor on the bill for the 2018 version: All Info - H.R.40 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act

Like I said, co-sponsorship doesn't matter. He will be a Yes vote when it counts.
