The Cookout

[Czharcus]

I thought the wording here was a pretty sick joke.

It's such misdirection. It should read more like: "Should justice exist in America despite that meaning FBA's receive Reparations?"

Then "SOCIAL justice?" That inherently includes economic justice, but they like to keep us thinking about economics and "identity politics" separately as if they are not inextricably intertwined.

I suppose I did not expect too much from the conversation (it was hosted by USA Today) but it was actually better than I thought (don't read too much into that, it was still pretty horrible in my opinion).


Do you see Reparations to FBA as a justice for us issue or a justices for all issue?

I almost fell for it but was glad I missed it. I caught Tariq's take on it when he went live and from what I hear it was a bunch of trick bag talking point's and nothing of substance.

I feel like any white organization leading a reparations discussion is strike one. Strike 2 is a black organization that’s funded by white people leading a discussion on reparations.

It’s simple. They owe us and we are demanding payment. Anything else is bull crap.

I listened for 20 minutes and it was nothing new. They are just being a little less dismissive that they were 10 years ago.

Someone on Twitter posted a few highlights from that discussion, I'm with Jay on this, any white people included in reperations talk for black people is a no go for me. Their main reason for being there is to derail the talks and twist it into nonsense.
I heard some white boy talking about "what about the poor White's"
WTF does that have to do with slavery?!

I heard that dumb shit too. We also have to be mindful about not keeping this shit at slavery it was him crow, redlining, mass incarceration, etc we need to be repaired for.
