    Right now is the breaking point. If we can't get reparations within the next 10 years we will never be able to get it. The only reason it is even remotely considered right now is because they need the black vote.

    Unfortunately most of the black vote right now is the older civil rights generation. They will continue to vote Democrat no matter what.

    What it will take is the black community as a collective sitting out and not voting. The civil rights generation need to understand that people died back in the 60s not for us to have a right to vote but for us to have a better life.

    Martin Luther Kings dream didn't mention anything about voting. It was all about us being treated fairly and having a better situation here in this country.

    Unless we just let the Democrats be on their own for a few election cycles and they see how much they need our vote nothing will be done.

    Once they bring in enough immigrants to replace our vote and continue to decimate our population by pushing a liberal agenda that includes being gay/lesbian and aborting our children they won't need our vote. There is no reason to give reparations at that point.

    Reparations will be given because it is politically necessary to do so. This isn't an argument about doing what's right or that we deserve it. Indeed we do deserve it but America has never done what is right. From Trayvon Martin, Rodney King, Philando Castile, Breona Taylor, Sandra Bland, Jim Crow Era and even currently they continue to violate our human rights. I didn't say civil rights. I said human rights. Other countries like China have even called them out for their human rights abuses.

    They continue to do wrong because they don't want to do what's right. They want to do what is politically convenient. Right now it is not politically convenient to give reparations in any form.

    We must make it politically inconvenient not to give us reparations!

    Great thread and accurate. We will never make change without forcing the system to do so. We need to inflict pain on it for it to do what we want. The days of hoping and praying are over. There is no savior in government or anywhere else, we are the savior.
    A lot of the old negros see voting as religion so some of them are going to go to the grave voting for a good ol’ white savior. The 45 and under crows are really our last hope in turning this thing around at least using the political system.

    The Baby Boomer generation has about 10-15 years left if that. so the fight will continue with Gen X, generation X is the ones making the push and fighting the fight. we are the last stand. Let's get it done!
    Absolutely. It is up to us to get the work done. The last generation failed us. They became complacent with just not being hanged and being able to be around white people. Not having open and in your face racism was enough.

    That is why Trump scared them so much. It reminded them of the days when people were outwardly racist and they were afraid of going back to that.

    What they don't get is the closeted racist is even more dangerous. The doctor, public official, police officer, judge or politician who is racist but doesn't say is far more of a threat than the person wearing swastikas and saying n----r in public.
