I asked you to clarify.
Am I understanding what you're saying or am I not?
Or are you getting huffy because you not equipped to carry this conversation further?
I'm more than qualified. But I don't believe you're speaking on behalf of FBA. You're a shill , pretending you're not. My previous post IS the bottom line.

Neither side is proposing anything specific for us, so it's a non issue on who's in there.

The first goal is the breaking process. These parties need to to know, without a doubt that they must comply, it's they want a block of support. The shyt you're telling us to do We've BEEN DOING, it's not working. So we're going to have to try another way. Fear can't be a factor in our choice



The risk is definitely worth it.

That's not true. There are Democrats all over the nation proposing reparations specific to ADOS.

That's on top of all of the social services and safety net stuff that we take advantage of.

They're delivering :yeshrug:

Where do you live? Maybe your State or city isn't doing you justice...

Just in the last couple weeks we've seen posts on the Coli regarding Reparations legislation in:

NY, NJ, CA and WA.

That's on top of the municipalities across the country that have done it like: Ocoee, FL, Evanston, IL etc:

11 US mayors pledge to pay reparations for slavery to small groups of Black residents
The tide is possibly turning, but it hasn't turned enough.
If 4 States are on board, that means 46 are not. I'm not satisfied. Have any of them actually started paying fba?

Yes, breh :what:


Just stop bytching and keep voting and holding all politicians accountable.

Not voting just means you're not gonna get shyt.

And not holding elected officials accountable is almost as bad. Stay engaged in between elections as well.

Power is important.

I agree with you. Only reason I'll still vote for the prez is cause they have to sign or veto laws.

So if we actually get legislation passed and the prez isn't on our side we're screwed

Told you in two posts in this thread I'm from the D, the Blackest city in this whole gotdamn country.
Be your own man, son. Stop using another man words to deflect and stand on the points you assert.
Either you can elaborate or you cant, nikka. Simple as that.
If you can't, stop wasting both our time with these feminine ass passive aggressive replies where you aint sayin shyt.

I'm holding them accountable. The powers that be keep neglecting fba while throwing money around to other groups, they can get with the program or deal with us turning our backs. I could care less if the system falls. It's failing us, so fukk it's existence. My loyalty is to fba

You're NOT saying anything. I don't give a fukk where you're from, if you're going against fba, blatant or indirect, then you're the opps. I'm not deflecting at all. And I stand on everything. I don't think it needs an elaboration or clarification. It needs a simplification. Which I gave. They can bend to fba or we can continue bending to them. Bending to them has failed us consistently. We've yet to stand on our square as an fba voting block. Now's the time to try that. If they don't get out check with the greatest of ease, like they do, these non deserving other groups, they can kick Rocks.

Cool. But don't ignore all the money that fba gets too.

:patrice:Leverage within the party.

You need a counter for leverage. Being economically at the bottom, already the 2nd largest minority, and losing ground as the largest minority voting block, and pre-dominantly only voting for 1 party, does not give you leverage. Of any kind.
