Back then, reparations wasn't being used as a club the way black people have learned to wield it now.

If you aint talking reparations you aint getting our vote. This topic will sway elections. It didn't have that power even last election cycle.

Once again you are being extremely naive. The American political process is a dog and pony show. Its not true representation. Never has been. Both political parties are controlled by the same rich crakkkas that run everything in this country. They give money to politicians on both sides and tell them what to do. Once again I really hope ya'll are some young kids like I was in 2008 when Obama first ran and I was on that Hope and Change shyt. After a few elections you realize all elections are is the ILLUSION OF CHOICE. The same shyt happens regardless of which party is in office. And as voters we really have no true choice.

With that said, lets say elections were real and there was a real choice. Even then black folks don't constitute a majority of the electorate. The only way a pro-reparations candidate would get elected in a general election is if the country as a whole approved of it. Maybe you don't know white people that well but from my experience nothing I've seen from the average white person leads me to believe they will ever support a pro-reparations candidate. Hell white people don't even believe racism is real or that police brutality exists. How on earth do you think they would ever support giving up part of their own wealth to uplift black people? If the democratic nominee says they are for reparations that nominee will lose. Even if he wins, white folks would vote anti-reparations candidates into the congress blocking that shyt from ever passing.

You gotta realize we all we got. And we ain't never gonna get justice in the American political system. That's why I don't vote or advocate any black person vote. Forget finding a candidate that shares our interests. The political process itself is a sham. Go and try to make change yourself rather than trying to vote in change. You'll have a better chance.

This is our evolution. Its not like things will ever get better for black people WITHOUT CHANGE. So where we are now is just our natural course of action, growth and awareness in a country where we are 2nd class citizens. Its taken time, we fought in the 60s for rights...we tried to exercise those rights as regular Americans, believing in the American dream and we've come to understand our problems are specific and a lot of America is not for us. We have the right to make that case as NONE OF OUR ANCESTORS asked to be here. So, that's not something we are just going to gloss over. We haven't consolidated a true plan of action yet.

It will take even more time for people to wake up but don't act like this subject will ever go away. Talk of reparations will only grow and eventually, as our calls continue to be ignored we will begin to take action (boycotts, consolidating our resources, etc)….things will change for us when we begin to change the landscape with the power and control we do have. We will learn how to fight fire with fire....which we are currently NOT doing but we are doing things this cycle we didn't even consider 2 years ago. Its growth, like I said.

We will get whats coming to us, the problem is all the c00ns and bootlicks PURPOSELY put in place to do what they are doing at this exact moment...the Joy Reids, Roland Martins, Malcolm Nance, KAMALA HARRIS....that is to keep the ball out of our hands.

Not one person brought up lineage or descendants of slaves back in 07/08
:mjlol:

Michelle could’ve been any variation of black and Barack would’ve still won off his HOPE campaign.
Nah. I remember when Katt did a piece on Obama. ‘She looks like she smells of cocoa butter’.

Also I think Barack thought it was an issue. Michelle was an intentional wife. She was perfect for his ambition. She’s super black, medium dark brown, family from the south, from Chicago. Excellent academic and professional career. Nothing was an accident with Obama.


People said it at the time. She makes him look more authentic. Being Ados subconsciously helped. He probably could’ve got off with a Jamaican or something but it wouldn’t hit the same way. It might’ve been enough to win.

Divide as in fighting amongst each other over levels of blackness.

Black people are not a monolith but that diversity should and can be celebrated. Divide and conquer is not a mentality that favors a group of people that does not have the numbers or means.

How can you talk about celebrating diversity when people are refusing to ADOS the ability to define and celebrate their identity?

All politicians are the same. Stop thinking any one of them will change anything. They are all controlled.

:what: you know we been the only black people in this country for most of its history? Almost anytime the word black is mentioned it is directly in relation to someone who is of native black american ancestry.

No one is saying you can't celebrate your ancestry. We only saying you probably shouldn't say shyt white supremacists like Donald Trump Jr. or Ann Coulter would want to retweet.

When white supremacists like what you're saying its probably not in our best interest.

No he wouldnt have. Yall acting like Barack dint play the hand he was dealt like he did, for a reason

I was in the south in 2008. Michelle was culturally relatable to black folks and core ados black culture.
How is a hatian black woman pulling this off:mjlol:.
Yeah the northeast might be on board but not the south- where the majority black vote is located

You mean the south, like Florida which is filled with Zoe's who impact the culture? Please stfu.

I don't think so. He may have -- but Michelle and her being AA made him more likable to AA. If Michelle was Haitian -- talking about Haiti -- with the Haitian Flag -- talkin about her ancestors in Haiti -- which is beautiful and fine. ADOS women would not have connected with her like that. Again, they already saw Obama as a Foreigner.

But I’m asking who they were going to vote for instead. You’re claiming the reason he got the black vote was because of his AA wife. The Democratic Party get the vast majority of the black vote no matter who the nominee is. But a biracial man with a black wife isn’t going to get the vote because his wife would be a descendent of another country?

Black women couldn’t relate or connect to Hilary Clinton but they they voted for her overwhelmingly.

At first Hilary-- then Obama -- and Michelle made that stronger for him.

That's all I'm saying. MAYBE, he could have won - but TWO BLACK --- non-Black Americans -- with no lineage to the U.S at President and First Lady -- I just don't see it.

This was before Trump -- now -- after Obama and Trump -- maybe it could happen.
