:manny:people make mistakes. I voted Repub prior, but to see Trump get elevated by the "law and order" "support our troops!" party turned my stomach something serious on top of the excessive Obama obsession

A real question. How do you think reparations are going to come about? Fed, state, local government and or corporations? Just wondering because I see most reparation discussions devolve in to foolishness. Biden or Trump will be POTUS. Which of these do you think would be amenable to reparations?
A real answer.

If Black people refuse to "save Democracy" over and over without getting anything, and the other voting blocs remain split as they are, we get to sell our votes to the highest bidder. We decide many elections, but have wasted the power blindly voting Democrat for nothing for the last 60 years. This is the "holding politicians accountable" that people talk about all the time but never do.

You have a good point. Lets come back to this point when democracy isn't actually on the line this time. Until MAGA is defeated I'm voting blue no matter who.

If there isn't a boogeyman, they will invent one. The DNC's "Black outreach" has been:

1. We gave you the Civil Rights Act
2. Republicans are evil and racist
3. Symbolism that doesn't actually help.


for the last 60 years. I'm tired. As long as Black people find excuses to talk themselves into voting Democrat without getting anything, we'll circle the drain.

First, no one should be blindly voting for anyone. Second, you're not going to get something by doing nothing, especially reparations. Even though we are owed, I personally don't believe it will ever happen, given how congressional elections work and the role of the Supreme Court. Third, that's not how you hold politicians accountable. You organize and run candidates who support reparations during primary contests. You don't just sit on your hands. And you don't ignore midterm elections. The reality is that most Black voters don't condition their vote on whether a candidate supports reparations or not.

You are an idiot Republicans are evil and racist.

Democrats don’t do enough for Black folks but they are 100 times better than Republicans.

New Details Emerge Surrounding Federal Executions Under Trump Administration
Trump brought back the death penalty


Trump literally rushed to kill Black men.


Plus Trump tried to roll back any “equity” initiative for Black people to help with housing etc.
