One of the demands should be killing eminem

 

Aug 2, 2016

Well yeah because they're not suggestions, they're demands. There's an inherent threat when something is being demanded. But just to play devil's advocate, lets look at them as "suggestions" (despite the fact that, again, they aren't.)

Doesn't exist. End the war on the men and women risking their lives to protect society and put bad people behind bars. That's my "suggestion" to these thugs.

Insane. This is nothing more than asking for money because they can. Should we just, as the white race, give money to people of other races just because a small percentage owned and used slaves? What does this even mean in context to their "demands"? Is there a set percentage? Who's paying? Who does it go to? What is it used for? Why should someone who's ancestors faught and died to free slaves then have to pay the people whos ancestors were freed? How does a monetary value set things right? It's impractical and it's hamfistedly asking for a handout.

From their own website:

1. Reparations for the continued divestment from, discrimination toward and exploitation of our communities in the form of a guaranteed minimum livable income for all Black people, with clearly articulated corporate regulations.

They want to get minimum wage just for being black.

1. A reallocation of funds at the federal, state and local level from policing and incarceration (JAG, COPS, VOCA) to long-term safety strategies such as education, local restorative justice services, and employment programs.

A nice goal (if it's going to benefit all of society) in the long term, but what about short term? Understaff the people who are keeping things safe in the meantime on the hope that the next generation won't become criminals and take advantage of a lack of funding for these institutes? Let the inmates run the asylum for now, because it might get better one day if the current generation decides to stick with it and not take shortcuts?

1. The retroactive decriminalization, immediate release and record expungement of all drug related offenses and prostitution, and reparations for the devastating impact of the “war on drugs” and criminalization of prostitution, including a reinvestment of the resulting savings and revenue into restorative services, mental health services, job programs and other programs supporting those impacted by the sex and drug trade.

"Let us break the law. It's only fair." I'm not even arguing for or against legalization of drugs and prostitution, that's besides the point here. You can't just say "well, a lot of the black people are in jail for drugs, so make it not illegal to sell drugs!" The rules are in place and regardless of any circumstances, the individuals that are locked up right now each knew, and understood the concept of the laws and chose to break them. They are criminals and we can argue all day over whether or not the laws in place are good ones or not, but the fact is that the laws are what they are and they made the choice to go outside of them.

This is just government mandated reperations. Who has to give up their own property and money so that these people get whatever they deem as "justice"? This is literally communism.

1. Direct democratic community control of local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, ensuring that communities most harmed by destructive policing have the power to hire and fire officers, determine disciplinary action, control budgets and policies, and subpoena relevant agency information.

..They want the ones...who are breaking the law..to be in on determining the ones who are enforcing the law? What the f--- is that gobbledy gook? Why would you make the enforcement of law democratic? Criminals should get no say in how the law is played out.

1. An end to the privatization of education and real community control by parents, students and community members of schools including democratic school boards and community control of curriculum, hiring, firing and discipline policies.

Isn't this more on the parents themselves? Why is this an outward demand? This should be an internal goal of the movement and communities in which they live to do, not an outward demand. And it's a capitalist world, if someone wants to offer a private school for a specific learning environment, that's a service that they are allowed to offer and I don't see a reason why the option to offer it should be taken away just because of a list of demands "suggestions".

1. An end to the criminalization of Black political activity including the immediate release of all political prisoners and an end to the repression of political parties.

They wouldn't be in there if they weren't, you know, being criminals in the first place. killing police, creating obstructive protests and threatening society with a f---ing LIST OF DEMANDS sure sounds pretty criminal to me.

1. Public financing of elections and the end of money controlling politics through ending super PACs and unchecked corporate donations.

The first point I actually agree with.

1. Full access to technology including net neutrality and universal access to the internet without discrimination and full representation for all.

I'm with you on net neutrality but

• The Internet is the most powerful and creative communications advancement of the 21st Yet, more than 100 million people in the U.S. live without it. A recent Pew Research report found that at-home broadband access for Black people is far below that of the national average. Closing the digital divide means bringing offline communities to the same Internet all of us experience.

It sounds to me like they want, on top of free property and government mandated reparations, free fibreop as well. Go to a library if you can't afford the internet. Go to a god d--- McDonald's. It's pretty hard to walk down a commercial street and not find free wifi.

Only thing that isn't warranted in these "demands" are reparations. Everything else is fair game. And ferguson protesters and mizzou protesters gave out a "list of demands" too they're more synonymous with protesters than terrorists

how come when you type "ferguson" into google the first thing that comes up is "Ferguson Riots" and not "Ferguson Peaceful Protests"

 

Aug 2, 2016

Aug 2, 2016

are you serious?

its 2016 people...there are racists, there are racists of all colors, and there always will be.

but black people are increasingly integrated into society and have been for a very very long time. some of the greatest idols of america both modern and otherwise are black.

our president is black. I know it's a tired old repeated phrase but it's true. HE'S BLACK. THE PRESIDENT. AND THE MAJORITY LOVE HIM.

It's not white guilt if you acknowledge what's going on with police brutality

 

Aug 2, 2016

It's not a black problem, it's a culture problem...72% of black kids are born to single mothers...that is a STAGGERING number that is impossible to ignore when you think about their economic situation...

are white men responsible for black couples getting pregnant and then leaving???

1. A divestment from industrial multinational use of fossil fuels and investment in community- based sustainable energy solutions.
