But... They protested peacefully and didn't riot? I thought that was how you got change.

Can't find the video but one of my favorite Malcolm X speeches:

"Brothers and sisters, if you and I would just realize, that once we learn to talk the language that they understand, they will then get the point. You can't ever reach a man if you don't speak his language. If a man speaks the language of brute force, you can't come to him with peace. Why goodnight! He'll break you in two, as he has been doing all along. If a man speaks French, you can't speak to him in German. If he speaks Swahili, you can't communicate with him in Chinese. You have to find out, what does this man speak? Once you know his language, learn how to speak his language. He'll get the point, there will be some dialogue, some communication, and some understanding will be developed. You've been in this country long enough to know the language the Klan speaks, they only know one language. What you and I have to start doing in 1965, I mean that's what you have to do because most of us have already been doing it, is start learning a new language. Learn the language that they understand, and then when they come up on our door step to talk, we can talk."

I forget who I saw explain this on TV or YT (and it bothers me now because of his eloquence in discussing it) but he simply pointed out that by saying "Black Lives Matter" we're not saying that black live matter more than yours; just that they matter. It's not a high bar that they're asking for. This country was built on their backs for crying out loud, which makes me a bigger supporter of reparations. Immigrants and slaves built this country which is a great thing to keep in mind as we celebrate this holiday. Who the fck are we going to be as a country going forward?

How much do you figure your share of reparations should be, Wingo? Give me a number.

Who, specifically, should get reparations? Who, specifically, should pay it? What would your formula be for figuring out exactly who and how much a person would get paid and how much a given person would owe?

Sidenote: Why are Democratic run municipalities such cesspools of systemic racism? If they care as much as they profess to about black communities why don't they clean up their police brutality issues? Seems simple enough. Zero evil GOP influence. Just do it and have your utopia. What's holding you back?

Since I'm a civil rights attorney and black lives matter supporter, I get a professional discount. You, on the other, have to pay the full amount. :lol:

But I'm a Trump supporter. We instituted criminal justice reform and our administration has resulted in the lowest black unemployment levels in history. Republicans fought and died to end slavery. I think I'm the one who should be getting the discount.

"Republicans" :lol:

nice try.

As for the employment numbers, we can thank Obama for that since we know that Trump just rode his coattails. This issue is income disparity. I'm not ready to go down this fox hole right now. It'll force me to do research and I'm just not up for it right now.

But just so I'm clear, are you arguing that black folk are better off under Trump?

I got a new one for you all and you're not going to believe it. I hope there's some room in the back of the bus.

Descendants of Frederick Douglass Read His Fourth of July Speech

The U.S. celebrates this July 4 amid nationwide protests and calls for systemic reforms. We asked five young descendants of Frederick Douglass to read and respond to excerpts of his famous speech, "What To The Slave Is The Fourth of July?" which asks all of us to consider America’s long history of denying equal rights to Black Americans.

Pretty powerful video

WaIt a darn tootin' second. My brain has cleared up a little since my last post. Are you trying to tell me that the U.S. doesn't have the money to pay reparations?

Damn bro', you're STILL on that trump train? I guess you're not tired of all of the "winning." :lol:

Yeah, I read about this. The driver is of Indian decent, Dawit Kalete (I might not have the name exact). So, he's not a white supremacist.

Trump's strongest non-white base is American-Hindus, many of whom are completely down with Modi's hindu nationalism that sponsors pogroms against Indian muslims. This POV can also produce racism against American blacks that would result in strong resentment against anything BLM-related. It is not universally true, but it is pretty amazing how many Americans of Indian descent love Trump.
