What type of reparations because a check in the mail isn't going to do shyt.
Reality
Make your own luck.
Subsidized undergraduate and professional education, low interest small-business loans subsidized by the federal government, etc. There are a whole host of possibilities.
Now this is what I am talking about and wholeheartedly agree with.
...land, repatriation fundin'.
Makin' it a financial issue will get results. 40,000,000 folks is a lot.hard to impart true change when we're outnumbered by our oppressors by more than 3:1.

Only a matter of time before somebody swoops in with the "This is what happens when you buy Jordans, watch Empire instead of A Different World/Cosby Show and don't build your own economy.
"
Economy tightens up and the less jobs available? Guess who gets the end of the stick every single time?

Reason why you see more and more of the youth in our community with their shyt together being the ones focused on black business, black colleges, and overall pro-blackness. Black Millennials have been told this fairly tale growing up that if you work hard you will have the same opportunities as everyone else. Well I can tell you from experience we got a lot of young black folk who busted their ass throughout HS and college and are either taking less pay or in another field all together they're clearly over qualified for. Straight up struggling for no goddamn reason other than whites going to look out for themselves first, and other minorities in HR going to look at everyone else before they look at black people. I could go on and on all day about this, but it's truly depressing shyt.
I'm in Houston where we have a lot of educated young blacks have to settle for club promoting, and bottle service with degrees in Finance, because we're shut out of something we were told could be ours if we worked hard enough for it. Meanwhile the CAC who barely passed the classes, got a nice 60k+ job right out of school. Shyt is a joke.

this is exactly what the baby boomers wanted...
that damn civil rights c00n generation... its remarkable how much damage they did to black folks in such a short time...
-they helped murder black heroes like MLK, X, Fred Hampton... and didn't continue their work after the assassinations... they were satisfied wit the interracial sex and drugs...
-made it cool to be put white folks acceptance above everything else... you seen all these threads bout black folks upset at being turned away from white clubs...
-created the dog eat dog culture we got among ourselves.... they the ones that made it respectable and cool for black folks to get street cred by killin other black folks over petty bullshyt, dont blame hip-hop for that...
in case yall aint know americas murder rate went thru the roof in the 60s.. i bet it would be even higher if we had the numbers just for black folks..

-they created the culture where u sell out ur own children and set em up to fail....
thats probly the one thing that didnt come from slavery... cause no slave master can force u to hate ur own children.. thats a violation of the laws of nature..
ya'll seen sandra bland's mother talkin bout she felt "Pure Joy!" after the settlement...
sandra bland's mother is ur average baby boomer... she aint even bother to bail her daughter out when she was still alive...

It's true. When I said this on here a couple of wks ago, a lot of dudes got mad at me for saying it
And not only just the wage gap, the difference in wealth (which is not the same thing as income) is a lot more than what many Black Americans are aware of.
Too many of us think because we can work at some of the same places as Kathy and Brad that everything's "equal" now. They get paid more on average just for being white, yes white women included, and they generally have more wealth, even the ones who you think wouldn't. nikkas also don't think about the fact that white ppl are the ones who are in most of the top/higher positions in these businesses. There are some blacks here and there but for the most part they try to keep ppl who look like themselves as higher ups.
Black ppl who really believe because we can work in the white man's businesses (that they own), can move to their neighborhoods (that they own), eat in their establishments (that they own), etc that everything's "equal" are delusional as fukk yo.
yea the boomers sold out their children... Gen X never had a chance...
if we wanna see the next generations of black folks be successful, its up to us RIGHT NOW...
and its gonna take years of work before we start seein real results...

I'm gonna teach my kids that if you end up relying on your white boss for a paycheck for the rest of your life, count it as a big L.
