***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[RustyShackleford]

Y'all really have a discussion about black empowerment with Delk

Besides voting for Trump, dude supports one of the most asinine and racist policy prescriptions when it comes to the welfare state and black Americans

Mans lost

Even ole boy's police union told him he is on his own

Does his middle name also start with a K?

Is Klete short for Kletus?

So many questions

We can agree to disagree. And it doesn’t have anything to do with the religion aspect of the black church.

My point is that they tend to take a lot from certain communities and they need to contribute more.

If Black women were in charge of the church, I’d have some confidence in them. There are far more Eddie Long’s in the church, than there are of the Calvin Butts ilk.

 

[Lucky13s]

Delk voted for Donald Trump, twice. I dare you to say I’m incorrect. Enough semantics, you’re disrespecting the whole NT community with your misleading and deceptive comments.

I read that quick and thought each of my kids would get $3600 lol But that's for during taxes, correct?

yup. For EIC if I'm not mistaken

There are black women that lead churches. Obviously Eddie was problematic.

Churches are flawed because people are. But that doesn’t change that they can do a lot more to strengthen black communities from a financial standpoint. Whether someone is religious or not.

Nah, he’s just from the south.

Churches should not be in the financial business. The Church attracts the most questionable of folk, due to the theology that they preach. Saving souls does not equate to saving money.

This could be said for most churches regardless of race. You basically saying they need thoughts and prayers

No, thoughts and prayers are certainly not the type of contributions I’m talking about.

Which is why I said it shouldn’t have anything to do with religion.

I’m talking about pillars of the community needing to pour more into said communities financially.

This isn’t really a novel concept.

 

[noshoegame]

Creating financial stable communities starts and ends with the people who actually live and work in them.

Cant expect someone to come in and throw money at issues and expect anything to change.

I think we are mostly agreeing.

I am one of the lucky few who got the Ignorya© delk vaccine early, 2 doses. Guys, it's 95% effective and the only side effect is some numbness and tingling where I want to click "Show ignored content" at the blockage site. Right now they're just distributing it to first responders but hopefully the masses of this thread can get access later this year as well.

As long as it is connected to a church, there will be someone who will think that some god told him something. 99% of the time, this isn’t good, especially for Black people.

Sadly, that’s true.

But those folks would believe that either way.

What’s your idea?

$1400 after he's been saying $2000 for months

That's what its been. CASH act was an amendment to the $600



We'll see if AOC and others can get momentum to make it a clean 2K once it hits the House floor

 

[gregory house]

I always thought it was the $600 we'll receive now (did that pass? lol sorry living under a rock atm) and if Dems get control of the senate they would add 1400 to make a total of 2000

Not a chance after AOC blasted the older dems for not grooming new, more progressive new blood. I was hoping 2k meant 2k but i shoulda known it was gonna be 2k total.

I kept seeing that article and picture and thought it was the womens swim team

 

[Deleted member 42060]

1400 in the package. That 600 they gave before, that was slick. Adding up to $2G.

$1400 check to make the total $2000
Extension of UI benefits to September I believe (additional $400/week)

The initial bipartisan resolution was for $2000, Mitch McConnell was the one that held it up cause of the election and being a ******* .
