I wasn't a fan of the weed campaign ad, but I liked seeing Gary Chambers bomb on that white woman years ago:

I don't agree with all of Mr. Chambers's politcal views, but he has been a vocal proponent of reparations for FBA/ADOS. I do like that part of his campaign.

    He did himself a disservice with that first ad. Now even if he is indeed sincere it will look like pandering. I believe a white advertising agency produced the first ad because it's hard to believe a group of Black people could be out of touch. In addition, the second comment in the tweet streams states that he mentions nothing about reparations on his campaign site which makes me believe this is to save face.

    His motto is “Do Good, Seek Justice” and we supposed to interpret that as reparations. He may be well intentioned but I’m with Sovereign.

    That weed ad would have been bad ass if Barack Obama did it campaigning for his second term after passing reparations legislation in his first.

    Would like to hear your thoughts...this, by the way, is the gentleman that went viral for smoking weed in his campaign ad.

    The floor is yours

    Our reparations has been given to every race but us! As I posted earlier, we need to FREEZE our spending with them & only do us! 💯
    We can put that $30T on land & rebuilding our Black Wall Street, but according to this time & place.
    We've everyone we need, just plan our work & work our plan. The thing that Oklahoma didn't do, was have air & ground surveillance.
    Huey P. Newton & The Black Panther Party guarded our community & recruited our males.
    He also had Angela Davis & Panthers like her schooling our females with tactical defense training.
    Our community was safe & it was all BOBO! 💯
