#Reparations
is a debt owed.
@dijoni
The family needs to sue the man’s estate. The man took life and income away from the family. He doesn’t deserve to pass down anything to his family.
My co-worker is all for the POTUS canceling student loan debt for her daughters in graduate school, but against reparations for

This is VP Kamala Harris’ mother (RIP). Her mother looked like a black woman, but she was NOT. She was Indian (from India). VP Harris’ father is biracial. So how is VP Harris a Black Woman and not an Asian Woman or Indian Woman? 🤷🏽♀️ “She’s NOT Like Us.”
I’m so proud to be a descendant of America’s hardest working people. From slavery to pioneers. They built America and developed a culture of service and advocacy despite racism, segregation and discrimination.
81 years old, 30 years in Congress, and he’s still trying to hold on to the status quo of doing nothing tangible for his constituents. Don’t these older folks know when to pass the torch. 🤷🏽♀️
#VoteClyburnOut
What really infuriates me about this man: 1) he nominated 3 Supreme Court Judges, but failed to nominate one that would help maintain/look after our Civil Rights gains of the 60s. 2) he was against reparations for ADOS/DOAS even though he’s not one, but benefited from being one😩
@BLKLiberation84
She is spilling some truth. However the replica was given to the mother, the original was given to his father. They are not selling the original, only the replica. Black people’s worship of Vanessa is sickening.
Jim Clyburn helped Biden get elected as POTUS with NO expectation that Biden would do anything for the poor black folks in the district he represents. He couldn’t even get Biden to pass HR-40, “a STUDY for reparations.”

I have sons (no daughters). If I were to ask that questions I would be studying the young lady's attitude and tone--not so much the answer. Marriage takes patience and loving kindness in the face of all kinds of situations. If she can't handle a simple question....🤷🏾♀️

My sons know not to come to me w/ that. Cause when they do, we gonna be up at 6:00 a.m. working out, gym time will replace video-game time, we gonna be watching reruns of old basketball games, etc. You tell me what you want to be, and I’m gonna bust my butt to help get you there.

If they have assets, people do sue. You know how many black celebrities have been hit with lawsuits? OJ’s in-laws sued him, and he was found innocent. Black people rarely sue individuals who commit crimes against them. They need to follow the example of white people.
You can’t withhold your taxes but you can withhold your tithes/offerings. Bishop Simon Gordon of Triedstone Church of Chicago, believes Chicagoans should stand w/

I’m saying this again...Company’s have logos, mission, vision, etc. for a reason: to set themselves apart from other similar companies. There are two different movements going on with a specific focus. One movement should not co-opt (hijack) or dilute another.

Why would she have an unprotected encounter in a foreign country with someone she didn’t know? I can understand if she was young. This is suspicious.

With respect, being African is not mainstream. Our Pan Africanism in America is made up. From Kwanza to dressing up in African attire in Black History Month. We are not cooking your foods, singing your songs, speaking your language, or rushing to get to Africa.
This is why delineation is importance. 🤷🏽♀️ Cultures are meant to be shared/experienced not disrespected. Instead of the post below he could have taken the time to show respect and appreciation.
A relative ask me today: if I “had” to choose between Biden & Trump who would I choose? I of course plan to

I understand what you are trying to say; but that type of disrespect comes from no home training. I will also add that tech addictions can cause social problems & displays of anger; but that too needs to be addressed in the child’s home.

@YourTime2Mend
I’m ADOS/DOAS and I’ve always thought it was wrong how they treated Black immigrants vs other immigrants. It’s a reminder of how America treats Blacks in general, especially ADOS/DOAS.
@DerenicByrd
Me too. I hate that the ship will have to sink for everyone, but since they don’t care if the ship sinks for us…. Lord have mercy on us all.
@4lisaguerrero
That wasn’t illegal. Lucy Ball Married Desi Arnaz (who was Cuban) in 1940. The law was to prevent African Americans (descendants of American slavery) from marrying Whyte. Please stop trying to minimize our history. It had nothing to do with your mom and dad.

The words that black female commentator was speaking makes me cringe.

On this issue alone are the Republicans making more sense than the Democrats? The Democrats want to secure someone else’s border before they secure their own. 🤷🏽♀️ Make it make sense.
Biden Budget Director Shalanda Young says she is "stunned" Republicans want to secure the southern border before sending billions of dollars to Ukraine
@nuskibitxh
🤷🏽♀️ so bothersome to hear. We have some Black folks in this country who are not the descendants of slaves, who just do not have a connection to our history and struggles in America. Why it’s important that ADOS/DOAS be allowed to distinguish themselves.
@sofiyaballin
Yes, you can divorce US Black history from the diaspora. Black history was created to celebrate the success, struggles, and civil rights accomplishments of Black Americans in the USA. Has nothing to do with other Black nations. They are free to have their own Black history month.
@dijoni
At the start of the war, we saw their racism when they wouldn’t let Blk Africans on a trains and called them the “N” word. Americans troops need to be kept out of this war.
So Kamala Harris is pushing 4 legislation 4 more visas 4 tech workers from India, mean while “Indian-American groups banded together to host a September fundraiser for Republican Brian Kemp.” Black voters have to start being strategic with their vote.
Black Excellence…. Who else could raise up and build a new culture when their original culture was striped from them as a result of slavery.

Is it possible to have your own history without trying to tie yourselves to BA/AA? If you have to tie yourself to us then it’s literally not your history. The culture appropriation is getting exhausting.

Hey,
@50cent
did you ask the mayor about reparations for NY descendants of American slavery? America has money to help every one, but no money to help stabilize black communities.
Here’s the minimum amount you’d have to earn each year to be considered upper-class, depending on the size of your family:
Household of one: $78,281
Household of two: $110,706
Household of three: $135,586
Household of four: $156,561
Household of five: $175,041 ~CNBC
This book appeared in my Facebook advertising feed. Can’t help but feel some authors are glorifying slavery? Chattel Slavery was so devastating for the majority of our ancestors that they could not share their story with other generations.🤷🏽♀️
@JumaaneWilliams
So the question becomes are you a descendant of American slaves? If not, they are not your ancestors. Be genuine, we are not all ethnically the same.

Interesting in this clip how 2 African women are saying that Africans have specificity among themselves. Yet Black Americans (ADOS/DOAS) are criticized for saying that all Blacks are not the same. We have different ethnicities, why is this hard to understand. 🤷🏽♀️
@ninaturner
They’re still doing better than the Black community. Sorry, until the government fix what they did to the Black community, that’s where my advocacy will be.
@Frediculous
I have to push back a little. Those black men have black mothers. As black mothers we have to plant positive seeds in our sons heads about black women. Because what they think about black women in general, in many cases is a reflection of how they view their mother.
@FreshandFitPod
Problem: America never paid its slaves. Worked them to death with no wages, little food, and little clothing. They built the wealth Americans enjoys today. Reparations is like giving the descendants of American slavery those wages that were owed to their ancestors with interest.
@imsojazy
@tariqnasheed
I get why it could bother black men. Black Men in society don’t get to be individuals like white men, they are judged as a whole. When a Black Man step on the stage he’s representing Black Men. White media is going to hold on to and prop-up the least threatening image of them.
@msjustice2
She is not lying. My bestie from high school just won her EEO complaint against her employer for discrimination. They were replacing Black workers with Hispanic workers and were paying the latter more.
@OneofDon
And Nigerians favor Ghanaian, but they are different people. And that’s alright. We have to stop trying to make AA something we aren’t. Especially since we are 400 years removed from Africa. 400 YEARS.
Why is it taboo to ask for tangibles for Black folks. This should make you mad: "Miss. school district's first Black superintendent put on leave [for asking for resources for her students] awaiting hearing...

Femi Olugbile is a liar. Black Americans are tried of Africans speaking on their behalf; and pretending to be Black Americans when they are not. Race doesn’t equal ethnicity.

The USA does the most 4 illegals, Israel, Ukraine… but tell the elderly & disabled, especially DOAS/ADOS that it has nothing 4 you. This black, elderly, disabled woman was killed— WHILE WORKING a job, — 4 no reason, by a racist. Reparation is a debt owed

Don’t stop w/ the teacher, go all the way 2 the school board if you have to. This is a form of subjugation—they are purposely teaching other minorities 2 rule over Blk students. Blk students should be allowed to have their own clubs & hold leadership positions within those clubs.
