Yea. Defund the police is a horrible slogan. But its better than abolish the police. lol

Its more about adjust the city budget. More more funds to community programs lets to police

Let the hate of the second moon wash over you.....

Defund the police is to vague a message, they need to come us with a better praise.

Exactly

One thing you gotta give credit to the Right for, they know how to come up with a slogan

Nah they don't, they dont care if it makes sense

 

[CeLLar-DooR]

Nah they don't, they dont care if it makes sense

That's part of the dopeness. Tho' it's true that thing probably wouldn't work here.

Maybe 'demilitarise the police' would be better

White people tellin' white people there's a problem.

Cool thing about this is that for the last 10 or so years, right wing ideology was kind of making a comeback.

A bunch of countries voted in ring wing politicians and shit. Racism was making a strong comeback all over the world.

Cool to now start seeing protests that are this diverse all around the world pushing back on the right wing takeover of the last decade.

How long are you going to wait to get what you are owed ? That's also an issue. We don't need them to move forward. We have all we need. How many NFL, NBA and rappers and songwriters and VCs are out there that have millions?
We have people with ideas and plans. We have builders and tech people.
We have caregivers to care for granny and watch the kids. We have all tyoe of people from all walks of life.

At some point we gotta stop looking outwards for help. What's wrong with looking inward? What's wrong with depending on each other?
Are you saying we can't do it without their help? Are you saying this can't start until we get what's owed?

How about get started and if they give us what we are owed it's added in to what we are already doing. Otherwise fuck them.

We should not be in the business of convincing people to help us. We are better than that. You are better than that. Fuck them and their pity handouts.

If people say we was once kings and Queens why y'all asking for shjt from cave people? How does that make sense?

If you don't believe in yourself and your abilities....They won't tell you but will be quick to hire you and profit off those same abilities.

nobody said any of that we are relying on each other everyday. Saying that those people owe us is not a lie and if we got what we are owed we would be in even better position. Reparations are owed it ain’t about asking.

 

[SeaSnake]

This post is crazy.
You rather leave it to what's owed and wait for that but say don't leave this up to rich black people? Are you serious?
Again you saying and implying the wrong perspective. Rich black people can have the money to support a poor black persons idea. I clearly said we all have ideas and skill sets. Just because someone has money doesn't mean their idea is better or not good.

And yes, that what I'm asking our people to do. Do for ourselves. Fuck other groups. But if you want to bring them up...Most if them work as a community and stay on code. But we don't see that part huh?

Fuck America's assistance man. It's been how long an people still waiting?

An your boxing analogy is kinda off.
I see this as a beautiful highly skilled woman who keeps thinking she's ugly and worthless cuz her man tells her this while complimenting and fucking other chicks. Be won't give her any money until he's ready and makes her highly dependent on just him. No matter who tells this woman she beautiful and can get a job and take care of herself...She's waiting for that abusive dude to tell her she's pretty and give her money and treat her right.

How sway?

Why you do that? 5th or anybody who is for reparations has never said just wait and see approach. You acting like if somebody says we are owed reparations that the person is not doing anything else
