The Real has been canceled. This attempt to put a black face on the kind of daytime hen-party gibberish that The View popularized has failed. It's about damn time.
The Descendants of Enslaved Americans have made tremendous progress in recent years through the rejection of Pan-Africanism and the instituting of an uncompromising advocacy for self-interest. On Tuesday, March 29, 2022, this cultural shift continued to bare fruit when the California Reparations Task Force decided that eligibility for Reparations would be based on one’s lineage rather than race. What this decision means, is that any Reparations payouts made by the State of California would be to the Descendants of Enslaved Americans exclusively. If successful, this decision will serve as blueprint for the rest of the states, and inevitably, the entire country.
As Jason Black would say, “THIS. IS. GOOD.” But despite our gains, we still have a long journey ahead of us in reversing the damaging, untreated aftermath of American chattel slavery and lack of reparations provided for such atrocities.
By 2053, the median wealth of Descendants of Enslaved Americans is projected to be $0. This is the result of generations of structural inequality that has disenfranchised Black America in housing, employment, healthcare, media and more. The keyword here is “generations”…not years, not decades, literally 100’s of years of non-stop terrorism against our people. Not only were our ancestors enslaved and unpaid but even after chattel slavery was abolished, we were subject to the following:
Sharecropping (which is slavery by another name)
Being repeatedly stripped away from our families through mass incarceration
Being subject to downright abominable human rights violations and unsuitable living conditions
Being uncredited for our inventions and ideas and having them stolen (while whites and others who stole our intellectual property became wealthy and rich from them)
Being subject to generational theft, con games, and having our lands stolen (Did you know that, for example, George Floyd’s Family was Robbed Of 500 Acres?)
Being inhumanely and graphically brutalized, and severely and helplessly abused for centuries
Forced, unpaid, and even uncredited labor
Redlining
Jim Crow
Widespread and disproportionate wealth distribution (specific funding, resources, capital, and assets get distributed to whites, Native Indians, Latinos, Asians, and all other groups, whereas we as a people collectively and historically have not received any kind of tangibles specifically for us)
Bombings, attacks, and racist sabotaging of prosperous Black American communities
Lack of a repair plan provided such as cash reparations
And much more
Descendants of Enslaved Americans have never lived in the land of opportunity, but rather a land of oppression. We have been blocked from the GI Bill, Homestead Act, much of the New Deal, etc. It’s ironic how America boasts about diversity and inclusiveness while simultaneously having an uninterrupted timeline of terorrism and discrimination against Descendants of Enslaved Americans.
It is imperative more than ever that the USA ceases this very deliberate and long-term strangulation by putting forth a comprehensive reparations plan targeted specifically to this demographic. How much would it cost? Some studies estimate the requisite amount of repair to be around $17 Trillion while others are closer to $100 trillion once interest and inflation are taken into account.
A Specific Claim Due to Specific Harms
What people don’t actually understand is that lineage-based reparations for Descendants of Enslaved Americans is not necessarily a racism claim, but a specific claim to get what we are owed, what we were and are blocked from, and what we were promised from the United States. With reparations, we will finally have the necessary resources available to collectively feed ourselves, gain land and assets, create our own businesses and economy, form strong neighborhoods and communities, and protect and secure ourselves and what’s ours. We will finally be able to create and enforce a real system of justice, equity, and equality for ourselves.
And even though both Descendants of Enslaved Americans and Black Immigrants continue to face racism and anti-Black discrimination, we still belong to different ethnic groups, backgrounds, and lineages. While South African apartheid, the Belgian genocide of the Congolese, and slavery in the Caribbean are all inhumane acts, they do not entitle these groups to Reparations from the United States of America. More specifically, they do not entitle these impacted groups to the claims the Descendants of Enslaved Americans have against the US Government.
Neither of these groups were kidnapped and snatched away from their homeland, thrown into a slave ship with outright deplorable and horrific living conditions, stripped away of their identity and native language and cultures, and put into the USA to remain in eternal chattel slavery and suffer for 500 years afterward. No other ethnicity of Black people in the USA have faced the targeted and persistent terrorist onslaught that Descendants of Enslaved Americans have faced at the hands of the US Government and citizens.
This reparations claim focuses on the grievances of a historically aggrieved and ignored group of a specific lineage who never received reparations for the extremely unique, yet horrific atrocity that they experienced collectively. It is disrespectful to equate the struggles of voluntary migrants to those of the Descendants of Enslaved Americans simply because they share a skin tone. Up until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, Black people were all but banned from migrating to the USA. Why should repair for hundreds of years of terrorism against Descendants of Enslaved Americans be diluted by including individuals who came here largely after 1965?
Learning From Past Mistakes
The lineage standard also avoids common trick language used to funnel resources to everyone BUT Descendants of Enslaved Americans. A great example of this is Affirmative Action, a piece of legislation passed in 1961 that aimed to stop widespread employment discrimination against Black Americans. By 1995, White women had benefitted disproportionately from the legislation. Obtuse terminology like “minority”, “disenfranchised communities”, “underserved” have all been used to funnel resources to other groups under the guise of support for Descendants of Enslaved Americans.
Race-based eligibility would be a “Black” twist on this same trick bag with the result being Reparations paid to Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans, Colombians, Hondurans, Belizeans, Jamaicans and many more as each group has members who have some type of “Black” admixture. What makes this even more troubling is the fact that these groups are already prioritized over Descendants of Enslaved Americans in the USA. While we are fed lines such as “repair for Black people is unconstitutional” we see programs that target cash and resources specifically to Latinos, Asians, Afghans, Ukrainians, LGBT, etc. A race-based standard will simply infuse more cash into groups who are prioritized over Descendants of Enslaved Americans and often harbor anti-Black sentiments themselves.
Lineage-based reparations are vital for Descendants of Enslaved Americans, a non-immigrant group, because not only have our ancestors been enslaved and unpaid but because even after chattel slavery, we were subject to structural inequality.
So I got into a discussion with someone at work. She said that 36% of abortions are done by black women. This does not include Cali which has the highest rates of any other state because they don't track anything. So It is very likely to be around 45%. That is damn near half.
She was saying that she feels like this is on purpose cause if you look back into Planned Parenthood history, the woman who started it HATED black people and wanted to weaponize abortions against black women by encouraging them to get them. They didn't want our people having babies.
On the other side of this, we see OBESE black ladies being promoted as the new beauty standard. You don't see as many white obese women being promoted... You know what obesity affects most in young women? Fertility!
I am beginning to think this agenda is legit. They want black women to kill their babies and to be too unhealthy to have them.
I understand this is a touchy topic. I am not for regulating abortion. I believe it should be safe, legal, and rare. It should be an option but should not be the standard. Something about this just don't sit right with me.
Isn’t this entitlement at its finest? Also a little bit of thin skin and lack of accountability. One said “why do I attract the men that don’t deserve me” and I‘m thinking…mmmm lady maybe you’re getting exactly what you deserve.

No surprise she won't see a cell. I tell you Black Family #WeHaveNoFriends even with a #CooningForCapital negro like this DA, this childs father would be better off hiring someone from #BitHits to blind this anti black racist KKKaren with lye. Let a seeing eye dog lead this skank around. Looking like the love child of the Mad magazine man with those Baby New Year ears.
Miya Ponsetto attacked a 14 year-old black child, but Manhattan's DA, alvin Bragg has given her a sweetheart plea deal of probation, no jail time.
Waking up to see another level of 3D chess being played through our Black-Brown coalition, it's not just New York in this case, its California (as most of know), as well as Georgia and many others but use the Ukrainians/Afghans as a test sample for what you should expect, take listen and leave a comment.
What do you think about her rules? I think she is being a diva and a bridezilla and a bit nonsensical. She even told her male cousin that he cannot bring his fiance to the wedding because her husband doesn’t know her. If one of my friends is getting married and starts tripping like this I simply bow out.
I feel as if this type of soft racism is leagues worse than the overt southern style racism. She basically rewrites history to where there is no racism in the USA and then use that alternate reality to form her opinion. So to her, there is no valid gripe for why Black Americans would be upset with White America other than jealousy. Slavery, Jim Crow, Mass Incarceration, Lynchings, etc don't even come up as that does not exist in the false reality she is constructing her argument in. Polite jealousy is confusing to some Black people which is why it's so dangerous. You'll have this old hag teaching your kids with all that bias running through her mind. That's why you need to make sure your children know that you're the number one teacher in their lives. You need to counter program day in and out.
Thinking about my grandparents the other day and wondered what was considered groundbreaking, back in their day. Color TV, telephones ect. And I'm thinking about everything we have in the 21st century, the ease of everything and the tech we have would be considering magic in the 1800s. Nothing could get actually surprise me now, about the only things that would get my attention would be teleportation, or time travel.
I often think about the future tech and what life will be like for my grandchildren. What would surprise or wow you with our tech right now?
Columbia University is again requiring its students to mask up in classrooms, with public health experts urging caution as COVID-19 case numbers climb across the U.S.
The university's head of COVID-19 protocols over the weekend announced the change, citing increased infections in the local area. The disease's resurgence in New York City after cases had fallen sharply earlier this year was punctuated on Sunday when Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for the virus. The virus is also flaring elsewhere around the U.S. More than two dozen states across the country reported a jump in cases over the last eight days, although hospitalizations and deaths have not seen a commensurate rise. Nearly 1 million Americans have died of COVID-19, with an average of 500 people succumbing to the disease every day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As of Monday, Columbia is requiring that students wear non-cloth masks in classrooms, according to a student-run news site. The mask mandate, which will remain in place through the remainder of the spring semester, applies to all students, but not to professors, for whom masks are optional. "As has been our policy all year, instructors have the option to remove their masks while teaching. Current policies on masking in all other settings continue unchanged," the university's COVID-19 director, Donna Lynne, said in a statement. The move comes after Barnard College, a women's undergraduate college affiliated with Columbia, reinstated its indoor mask rule on April 6. Barnard is requiring that students wear face coverings in classrooms, dining halls, study spaces and at Columbia-sponsored events, according to the same student publication. Barnard started requiring masks again after the college saw a spike in cases after its previous mask mandate was lifted on March 28, causing COVID-19 symptoms and absences among community members.

H.B. 233 gives Tennesseans "an alternative form of marriage" between individuals who have a "conscientious objection to the current pathway," according to state Rep. Tom Leatherwood. the GOP bill, first introduced in January, establishes a common-law marriage between "one man" and "one woman" but omits any age requirements for the union. Tennessee ranks the 13th highest state in child marriages per capita. Nearly 10,000 children were granted marriage licenses in the state between 2000 and 2018.
It’s my belief that they have all these history months now to drown out Black History. I remember when I was younger, Black History Month was the only major heritage month.Nowadays every heritage, faith, lifestyle has a month dedicated to them with diminishes February. These people are sick.
