I thought you were #TeamKamalaThe 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
you've spent months stumping for her like nobody's business and now you've switched your tune. Why?
Did you get exposed too frequently to the point where that course of action was no longer tenable and you've diverted your focus to Sanders and Warren?
irregardless of anything #tangibles still matter.
Every other group gets their needs addressed and when it's done they are mentioned explicitly by name. The author of that article intimated herself that having the same complexion isn't enough for Black people anymore and she's right. Booker and Harris employ the same vague, lukewarm rhetoric for a reason, but they get a fire in their belly when speaking about other minority populations
we're still at the bottom despite having been here centuries and other groups come here and lap us, largely due to the fact they are benefitting from the battles we fought. Who is going to fight for us and not be scared to say so?
nikkas are done with that "rising tide lifts all boats" shyt because if our boat was shytty to begin with and in danger of capsizing then a rising tide will do what it will always do-still leave us in a shytty precarious situation
