Niggas aren't getting shit.

This is like trying to hold ya parents responsible for breaking their promise of taking you to Disney summer of '89.

Yes these cacs have fucked us over, but who do you think is going to be the one to decide to give us reparations?

any one have any details of how Johnnie Cochran planned to go on his reparations crusade? He was on that when he passed

at the very least, a mass scale class action lawsuit against the federal government over forcefully and illegally acquired properties of ours should be considered...too many of us got them stories in our families

how does speaking on reparations and taking the reins of our existence conflict with each other? they go hand and hand, because ANY tangible response aint gonna come from a position of charity, but power

Progress is COMPLETELY different than an this..
 
Japanese get reparations... Jews get reparations... Native Americans get reparations... Haiti got a good deal of their loan forgiven... Black Americans, fuck ya and let it go... It happened years ago and you're playing the victim with your race baiting...
 
If people can't stand together to get this done, you can't possibly think we as individuals will elevate the standing of our race or pull together to do the little things in combination it will take to reverse the effects of slavery

There's no way to reverse what's been done or rebound w/o acknowledgment of what was done by the govt in some form of reparations...so if you've given up on the idea of that, you've given up on the idea of Black people in America. You're content to die just as your ancestors did, a slave

This country has given reparations to other groups, it's time for the United States to pay up.

Question... would you willingly to go homeless because you told your neighbor "if the Cleveland Browns ever win a superbowl I will sell you my house"

This country is not going to fold because of a 150 year old promise..

Because it's a waste of time. That's why. If we build, we build from inside out, starting with our households, then moving education then to electing officials who genuinely have our best interests in mind and using our voting power to get em out of there if they not serious, then we can get it on the agenda because they respect our gangsta now. Hashtag movements and marches are only products of knee jerk reactions with knee jerk, microwave solutions. The world has become more sophisticated, and if there is good work to be done, it must be done standing on solid ground. They appease us with shit, and we wonder why we keep goin through the same shit, it's because our power is not what we think it is.

For instance...... Teen gets shot, hashtags, marches, jesse jackson or whoever the fuck they sendin for a week...Then....Back to normal, rinse and repeat. We hold the solution, but it's time to think different to achieve it. We keep thinkin the same, we gon stay the same. Niggas been talkin about reparations since the 1800s bruh. The same dull convo, they don't respect us in Washington because we ain't earned it, and lost what little bit we had.

None of those demographics are over 10 percent of the total population of America either..

BTW if we DID get reparations wtf are most going to do with it... all of our problems are not going to miraculously over because we got something from the government...
