The Cookout

[Seriusinfumie]

Can FBA continue to resist those who oppose our reparation.Can we continue the fight without wavering,can FBA uplift themselves to a place of self destiny,are we waiting for some other group to do our job

 

[Mrs. BLACKRADICAL]

Without a doubt. Of course we can. We are codified. Unwavering.
As long as we continue to be solution focused nothing and no one (I mean nobody) can stand in our way.
We can produce our own justice.

There are a lot of discussions on this .. My opinion, we need to work both avenues .. I'm for self reparations , all of us contribute 38cents a day, even a third of us.. that's a billion dollars+ per year! We can do it ourselves, but we allow ourselves to get duped and build theirs vs building ours .. if you are interested. baf.solutions , Black Achievement Fund , it's like Garvey 2.0 (as much as it can be in these times) ..

.. but basically, we are waiting for ppl to do it for us, putting all our eggs in politics (of which, we do have some parties that are African centered, we just don't seek them out or know about them en masse).. this whole politics thing, it's like a game of chess, and you are the pawns ... Can the pawn win? Yes, but they have to think strategically, and better yet, create their own game where they are in a better winning position ... We are reactionary, to a large degree ,... We need to start destabilizing ish like they do in other countries ... Work together, but alas :)

Baf solutions sounds great. I'll definitely look into it. But I still want what is owed to my family.
Removing ourselves from their political system is the strategy.
Not the only one in action at the moment either.
I do agree though. We need to do any and everything we can to achieve the results we want for our people.

Oh yeah, we are definitely owed , can't stop pushing forward. I'll be surprised to see it, personally ... There are many ways though, not just direct funds ... Many ppl will get hung up on that, bc there is a lack of out of the box thinking in government, so ... It might be a while, or not, I don't know ... It's *somewhat* upsetting that this country could have avoided some of the turmoil between sects if they would have cut check in the beginning , and it probably would have been cheaper for them... I'm open to all avenues, whatever we can do .. new ideas, action plans, I'm all for it

Your black achievement fund isn’t reparations though.

 

[cjg]

Your black achievement fund isn’t reparations though.

Good point Bro. The definition is something someone gives to right a wrong. Actual reparations may or may not take a minute. Also, one can argue would one really be repaired by monetary attempts.


Cooperative economics is a start, something we can be proactive on, and something we need to be practicing 365. We can do it ourselves or we can hope that white men will do the right thing.

I hear that but we need both. We can be laser eyes on group economics and reparations at the same time and need to be.

Yes. Disaggregation is essential for survival. Some people are cowards and don't want to fight. Others are lazy or comfortable. Sacrifice is a thankless job most times. We can't expect the majority to wake us and be new people overnight with such bullying and programming going on. We don't have access to the mechanisms to reprogram like the dominant society. Keep going and don't worry about the rest. Support like-minds and leave the slow bus folks behind.

 

[LatagiaCopelandTyronce]

You bet FBA/B1 can continue to fight for what is owed to us! It will be difficult but the B1 (many aren't btw) are no strangers to fighting and for the long run. Here's an article I wrote in support of reparations especially and specifically as it relates to child welfare. Check it out!

I agree, Sis drop that link to your piece so we can check it out. They owe us for so much we need to demand it until the day we cannot anymore. We all need to be withholding labor, resources, or whatever until they pay up.

That was a great read. I've worked in the child welfare system and been a victim of it too while in foster care. The child welfare system was built similarly to take Black children and put them in a debtors prison of sorts, making the kids work for their food while being abused by their overseers. I think they don't talk about it because then you'd have to get into the cruelty and polite barbarism of White women, and they don't wanna touch that with a 10-foot pole.

Thanks for reading sis! I appreciate your giving me some analysis as to why people don't wanna talk about CPS publicly. It's like pulling teeth trying to make this issue just as prominent as criminal injustice reform even though this issue continues to negativity impact over 50 percent of Blk families with 1 in 10 Blk children being removed. It's a lonely fight but one I will never give up on.

Big time! Oh yes, we need movement on all cylinders!

 

[MR-D-ROB]

Yes, the key is getting the message out. The message must be received by as many in our community as humanly possible.

It can be done but the black community as a whole must be on code and be unwavering and non-compromising.

 

[ProMoatBlack]

I agree. Purchasing land allows you to attain and exact justice how you see fit.

As a former worker in the child welfare system in colorado, I can attest to the extreme racial discrimination that takes place.
Had a case where a mother had to discipline her child. In no way was it abuse more like discipline in a two parent household. They tried to get me to take their child anyway. When I didn't I waa black balled to the point they lied on me to stain my name at the company. Needless to say I know what you mean and that experience led me to leave the system and purchase my own land. Been off grid a year. Time to separate and build. In no way can this system be reformed. Time to create another like we have always done

That's the key to all, on code ... We could change the situation quickly, but that's the clincher.

I know about CPS ... It's frustrating, like are the teachers gonna step in when cops get called?! It's a situation, which made me realize even more, those teachers could be Daughters of Confederacy, and we trust them like that.. different topic, but this system is something

No one will do your job for us, just like we're quick to tell other groups to H.Y.O.N we have to keep holding ours....firmly
