NO REPARATIONS NO VOTE
FBAs (Foundational Black Americans) have been a solid, reliable voting block for the democrats since the 1930s.
Black Americans have kept democrats in power for decades. Now it's time for our reward.
Slavery produced an immense, unquantifiable amount of wealth, functioning as the financial bedrock of the antebellum U.S. economy.
At least 8% of Democrats in the recent U.S. Congress are direct descendants of slaveholders.
Historically, federal efforts stalled at the end of Reconstruction in 1876 and have faced intense political hurdles ever since.
Obama was our best chance.
But his focus was healthcare. A worthy cause no doubt. But he is not a descendant of slaves, so does not have the compassion or feel a personal responsibility to make sure the US government pays who they owe for centuries of free labor.
Leading democrats are no help. Bernie Sanders has stated that he does not support direct cash payments for slavery reparations, arguing that the policy would be "divisive".
James Clyburn, "It is impossible to implement".
The ex president himself who blacks voted into office, said that, "Living generations shouldn't feel financial responsibility for the historical sins of their ancestors."
Liberals who do dare to legislate for some type of payment, only speak of investments in marginalized communities rather than direct transfers of money.
Democrats have focused on and pushed through polarizing legislation for many causes. Like healthcare, the gender pay gap, abortion, LGBT protections and immigration reform.
But never for reparations.
We can't depend on the Black Caucus. Half of them are of black foreigners and not eligible for reparations. So have no incentive to push for reparations.
Most black governors and senators simply refuse to "rock the boat", and also have foreign backgrounds and are not eligible either.
Most older black politicians from the civil right era don't have the fight left in them to push for such controversial legislation.
Several democrats have settled for conducting resolutions to form commissions and proposals.
Even in deep-blue states like California, Democratic politicians disagree on how to execute reparations.
I'll make it easy for them, it's called a check.
Lobbyists are too expensive.
What's left is the grass roots movements. People with no power besides their vote. And that's the key.
No more Reparations Commissions or task forces or studies that go nowhere.
The first commission for reparations was formed in 1989. All the information we need for reparations is known.
Any politicians looking for the black american vote will not get it unless a plan for reparations is made.
In the end, regardless of which political party is in power. Our vote will not be cast for any politician who does not have a plan for immediate reparations for FBAs.
No more unconditional support for Democrat's. No more free votes.
