Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, was Abe Lincoln vice president and stopped Reconstruction for the newly freed slaves. Also, there was no southern strategy. The Democratic Party has lied to Black Americans forever and a day. And folks like Yvette advise to vote down ballot Democrat — she isn’t a good thinker, no

Check out Hillsdale College free online courses— well worth it. You can read the primary documents of the Founding Father’s

I’m blocked for 6 days on Twitter for writing: fag.

The issue is immigration not slavery. For every 10 percent increase in immigration, Black Americans lose 1 1/2 percent of their wealth. Read Back of the Hiring Line by Roy Beck.

Trump offered Black Americans 500,000 billion and 500,000 Black American businesses and Black Americans criticized it — weirdos.

Are you interested in joining Project 21 — if so, I’ll pass on to Donna.

And it’s DOAS — Descendants of American Slaves — these folks couldn’t even get that right. Our “intellectuals” aren’t that learned, no

Five hundred BILLION?? We need TRILLIONS to close the wealth gap. Have you seen the data? Respectfully, that's a drop in a very deep bucket. Our grandchildren will be dead before it hits the bottom. It's AMERICAN Descendants of SLAVERY- not "Slaves". We have it correct - #ADOS.

Bottom line : Black Americans are not getting reparations. Why? Because high immigration and illegal aliens made them economically stagnant, which they voted for , not slavery nor Jim Crow — learn the data and accurate political history

and a little food for thought, let us not forget General Sherman (a Republican) offered the land and the mules via field order 15 and the President Andrew Johnson (a democrat) took it away.

I'm sorry, but white people GAINED TRILLIONS in wealth under Obama and black people have been tethered (to used everyone's favorite word) to the BOTTOM of the RACIAL WEALTH GAP. We don't speak of reparations in just a monetary sense, but also policy changes, education, affordable housing, etc. We are BEHIND (read the Color of Law) and the blueprint for our position is still very much in play. I'm not surprised given that there's an acceptance of "people of color is the new Black." Astonishing!

Also, can we please stop lumping Umar and Tariq in same space as Antonio Moore and Yvette Carnell? They are the ONLY ones you mentioned that are serious about reparations. They have NOT ever invoked an " unserious, get-whitey, #CutTheCheck iteration" message. This isn't ASKING for a handout. It's a DEMAND for payment of a DEBT. That " unserious, get-whitey, #CutTheCheck iteration" rhetoric came from Tariq Nasheed's so-called FBA, which by the way, he infiltrated and attempted to hijack from #ADOS.

The strategy behind 'down ballot' is due to the fact that #ADOS is the Democrap's base. Down ballot lets them know that we ARE voting, but we're not voting for president until they bring a serious reparations discussion to the table- via Antonio and Yvette. Now, if the Republicans have a serious discussion about reparations, we'lll flip the vote. It's that simple.

Also, to be clear, Mechee X is an activist - one of the realest ones doing the WORK for her people.

I don't understand why folks believe we are living in a racially equal society. It won't be until we get on the SAME page and push this government for an overdue debt to be paid.

Honey, the fact that black Americans are the Democratic Party base and the Democratic Party is now replacing black Americans with illegal aliens: speaks volumes about the lack of knowledge of black Americans

And stop repeating that meaningless narrative from Yvette Carnall — she doesn’t know what she is talking about. Whenever one gives her the data she blocks, so she’s a lightweight intellect

Black Americans voted for their own demise rolling with the Democratic Party for 6 decades and now facing zero median wealth by 2053 — it’s not Trump nor the GOP’s fault
