I don't have a problem with entertainers speaking up and wanting to be political active I won't go Fox News "shut up and dribble" I want them to get involved and be active and throw their weight around. BUT I cant pretend like its not annoying how sometimes they try to jump in and come up with they plans like they got it all figured out like no one else been on this or have even better more fleshed out plans. There are plenty of black activists and academics who have been on this been had plans been wrote the books been broke this down been debated this etc. Use your platform to promote those people and their work and use that as the basis for what policy you wanna support with the power you have. Accept you new to this and don't have all the answers but lean on the knowledge and the expertise of those who have dedicated their lives to this
Well said. It’s frustrating.
Bro....you’d THINK they’d even reach out to the good brother, Ta-Nehisi Coates. And he went to congress to lay out the case for reparations. Mitch McConnell and republicans would not even hear it. Think cube and them was hip to this, when they try to play like nobody is doing anything? Nope
Nope. All that ego, not knowing etc gets in their way. It’s much easier and convienent and safer To lean into not knowing anything, and Just high level touch points with reactionaries. Then sit back, get a fuller view, learn some things, come with an actionable plan...then proceed with timing and action. Than to do what they do. They could’ve been doing this the entire time. Cube said he was busy rapping and making albums, big 3....because he figured someone else was doing the work (they were) its being obstructed. And the people in true power, want none of what your asking for. If you want to change or abolish the system....you have to put in place people who want to do the same. Or you have to resort to violence. It’s that simple.
Imagine boosting brothers like this Ta-henisi Coates on a platform. One who’s doing the research and work. And he’s one of the more popular ones. There are a lot of black men & women doing the work too.
I just remember him as the "but what was he doing before" guy every time a black person gets murdered.clyde the glide works in the mines and is Black so I trust him and his views 200%

-Liberals are Democrats are not choosing to make it a partisan issue. The Republicans are. It is the Republicans are the ones that adopted the Southern strategy, it is the Republicans that fully embraced white nationalism. Democrats for all their faults have been marching in a different direction for a couple of generations now.I'm glad Cube sat down with ADOS. They helped him revise parts of CWBA and brought in focus on wealth data in America. Cube is taking more of a collaborative approach seems vs Diddy tryna to create and be in control of a party. Repairing black folks from the harm done the build this nation everyone benefits from should not be a partisan political issue. It should be common sense.
America literally cannot afford systematic racism if we want to remain competitive in this new emerging digital economy. As small as the american population is compared to other countries, there is waaaaaay more than enough to go around.
If republicans actually do champion some form of reparations for Black Americans, could this be the event that causes the parties to flip like the Dixiecrats did after Civil Rights movement and legislation?
Why are the real consequences if either party actually says yes to comprehensive reparations specifically for black americans?
No, because the level of partisanship is different now than in the 1960s. Also, the prior realignment took time, with different actions feeding into one another. The Republicans could have recovered from Goldwater, but right afterward they started the Southern Strategy.If republicans actually do champion some form of reparations for Black Americans, could this be the event that causes the parties to flip like the Dixiecrats did after Civil Rights movement and legislation?

What's in it for republicans? Why appeal to 13% of the population, that has no money, concentrated in areas with marginalized voting power, and risk alienating your loyal and powerful plurality of the 60% of Americans that identify as white (not even counting white-hispanics) with all the wealth behind them built up by the american government? There's a reason the parties switched.If republicans actually do champion some form of reparations for Black Americans, could this be the event that causes the parties to flip like the Dixiecrats did after Civil Rights movement and legislation?

Maybe you can first compare Trump's meaningful legislation to all of the harm that his administration does.I condemned those posts, period. Never once did I like one or indicate any sort of support whatsoever—because I thought they were ridiculous. And mostly thought they were some new “satirical” characters. Some diet aepps20
But in an effort not to clog the thread with that back and forth, do you think the impact of Biden’s 94 Crime bill has been more or less detrimental, to black people, than Trump’s rhetoric? And what legislation did Biden get passed that ended that effects of that legislation—to go along with his apology? That is a serious question. I’m not advancing an argument, but I really would like to know your opinion on that.
Think he already turned heel by terrorizing Black and Brown people in NY with stop and frisk policies .Rudy going from the guy who was the face of bringing america together after 9/11 to actively working with foreign enemies to help re-elect the most divisive candidate in American history has to be the greatest heel turn ever, right?
