Looking at the list of speakers I assume were "vetted". Damn near everyone on the list are content creators and a failed politician.

I assume if you're planning to "demand" reparations from the government, you need some politicians in your pocket.
This. 100% this.

    Only one on there that can speak on reparations is Kato-Emir. Everyone else are people who were either in Buck Breaking, Hidden Colors, or some other documentary. I’m a fan of Tariq but I don’t really see how this is more valid than trying to get politicians to join.

    That’s a nice flyer I hope it’s a success.
    I think there will be a good turnout. Rizza Islam, Dr. Ma'at, Marcel, Dr. Boyce, & Tariq are all popular enough to draw a crowd; but there are huge marches & rallies here every other weekend (they're so commonplace that even most of the huge rallies don't even make the local news beyond a traffic report). Most of them are ultimately uneventful, because like blackice_ATL said, the organizers don't have anybody there with any political stroke.
    Reparations for FBA is too important to just have an event which is basically going to be a bunch of speeches & DVD sales without anything major happening. It's essentially going to be a church revival; we'll hear a bunch of fiery sermons, then we'll go home & be poor again.
    I really, REALLY hope I'm wrong, but I've seen this movie several times already.

    That was damn near depressing. Where’s my cognac?

    The speaker lineup will be almost the same as the FBA Conference:

    Please talk to me straight. Too much going on over here for me to decipher what you're asking me.

    Madam,

    At what time does the air bound conveyance arrive in the District of Colombia. My inquiry is in regards to your participation in Le-Rallye for Reparations de Tarik.

    Dr Boyce def don’t need to be there. He was the one telling folks to invest in the Jay Morrison Tulsa scam. He said he asked Jay all the hard questions and Jay answered them. Lol. But he never said what he asked.
    I had to remove him off my Twitter he drops some borderline WS talking points here and now.

    Sir,

    At what point did I say I was traveling anywhere? Do you have me confused with someone else? I am allowed to comment on what's happening in the community. Doesn't matter if I participate in said events or not.
