If you’re going to excuse everybody who flip flops with “well they’re allowed to change their mind” then there’s no point in anybody being consistent, having integrity, or holding any kind of real core principles. There has to be some accountability for hypocrisy and double talking.Let's get the whole vid to get the context. This was in Feb 2016.
"What we need is real infrastructure and real investment from the government."
"You can't just give black people a check for Flint and say ok just deal with your stuff. This is going to take massive investment from the government to fix.
I would say Yvette learned more and is entitled to change her mind. The current push for Reparations is not just for cash payments (they certainly can't be excluded).
If she was really some kind of agent wouldn't it make more sense for her to still hold this position and be a vocal Sanders supporter?
Who does this benefit to change her opinion and be a vocal critic of Sanders now?
I’d be willing to give her your “she learned more and changed her mind” benefit of the doubt is she was at least humble and less judge mental of others on the issue. She flip flopped on some arrogant moral authority shyt tho. She makes negative character judgements on folks who don’t agree with her on the issue after she’s done such a major flip flop herself.
“if she’s an agent why would she be for sanders”. Why would she be a sanders supporter when sanders is a no on reparations?
Look man, reparations is a pipe dream. It doesn’t matter what side of the issue she’s on because the issue itself is a deflection and a means to widen the wedge within the community. The government is never ever ever ever ever ever going to give trillions of dollars in reparations to American blacks. The fact that there’s been so much infighting over it is evidence of its purpose. All she does is attack other black people while telling blacks how hopeless we are and how dependent we are on whites saving us. Anybody following her is already defeated.
So what was the new information that she was made aware of that justifies the 180?People are allow to change their position once given new information or more detail on a situation that proves more dire then one thought before.
Your statement would leave you to think malcom x needed to always be hustler....or that malcom X can never leave the Muslim faith because once he believe the nation ideology he must always believe it!!
When in truth he left the nation because he believe there was a better way outside the nation.
There are known major life altering experiences that explains malcolms transformations.
These are embarrassingly lazy and simple minded defenses. Seriously.
