The Black Agenda (What We Want) 1) Reparations across the Board A) The Agenda must be addressed to Foundational Black American/Freedmen and ONLY Foundational Black Americans/Freedmen. 2) Black Society's Top Priority is Economic Empowerment. The US. Kept Black People impoverished for the benefit of white people. They hate us because we are Black and they victimize us because we are poor. 3) The Total Dismantling of systemic white supremacacy. The system of White Supremacy needs to be Criminalized/Outlawed 4)White Supremacists and Police violence is a Human Rights Violation. (The Law should defend Human Rights NOT your Profession!) Stop the State Sanctioned Violence against Black People!!! Talk of Police Reform is a CON JOB. You cannot reform a white supremacist/Terrorist. ZERO TOLERANCE!!! 5) Schools can no longer be weaponized against Black Children. The Special Ed Game is over!!!! The School to Prison Pipeline is derailed!! The dropout rate is engineered. 6) Remove Symbols of institutionalized racism on public grounds. 7) Mandatory Public and Private contracts reserved for Black Businesses. (20% to start with) A condition for getting a business license in that state make it Law. Vote for that!!! Doing business with Black Vendors/Mentoring or Sheparding them to be able to do business with with major corporations. 8) We're talking set asides , No taxes, tax exempt, 0% finance, city contracts , municipal bonds, land grants,cash dispersements, are all suitable methods of addressing the debts! #CutTheCheck Reparations aren't just about finances, killers of Black People are still walking free and too many of us are overcharged for minor offenses. These things are already being done for white society....✓!!! This is what the agenda looks like we set the agenda and the rules. Get on code and stop settling for crumbs!!! Get..... On...... CODE!!!! #BlackAgenda2024 This is not up for debate this is what the Agenda is....are you up for the fight? Copy and paste so you can share.
A judge on Thursday also dismissed an assault charge filed by one of the white boaters against the riverboat co-captain. The Montgomery Police Department said the co-captain was a victim in the assaults......and never should've been charged in the first place. ✊🏿💯✅️ Here's to the small victories ✊🏿💯✅️

Do you have any Christmas traditions in your family? Maybe ones that had been around for a long time or newer ones you started with your own kids? I am curious. I want to get some traditions going of my own. I grew up with the basic traditions you would expect. The tree, the gifts, making cookies with my mom, decorating the house (lights) with my dad, we never went all crazy and did that elf nonsense though. My mom only just found out that was even a thing lol
What Christmas traditions do you have with your family that you enjoy being a part of every year?
Some people are saying Blacks are done in Cali. The raw numbers aren't good. Latinos have pretty much taken over all the black areas. I think Compton and Watts are majority latino and in the other areas (Inglewood, Baldwin Hills, East Oakland) gentrification has taken a stronghold and getting stronger. I got mad love or Cali. Been up and down the state. So, Cali brothers and sisters, what say you? TBA said the same. There is still reparations for FBAs in Cali that looks like its going to happen. Stay and fight or go to Texas, Vegas, where ever?
But not a peep, when, another Penn professor, Amy Wax (and yes you can infer what her religion is) for years were saying all kinds of things about Black folks, we don't appreciate western achievements and also for years she's been saying Blacks can't compete at Penn.
The bill would force hedge funds to sell all of their single-family home stock over the next 10 years.

Democrats have introduced bicameral legislation this week to take a step toward getting Wall Street out of the housing market amid a crisis during which house prices have soared to record highs.
The bill would ban hedge funds from buying and owning single-family homes. The legislation would require hedge funds to sell off their stock of single-family homes over the next 10 years and would then implement an outright ban. For every single-family home a hedge fund owns over a certain limit each year, it would be subject to a tax penalty, the revenues from which would be used for down payment assistance programs for those seeking to buy their first home from a hedge fund.
The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act of 2023 was introduced by Rep. Adam Smith (D-Washington) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon). The lawmakers say that the only purpose for hedge funds to own homes is to make profits and that such investing has only made it more difficult for working class Americans to afford to buy a home.
“In 1971, my father was able to buy the house I grew up in for $15,000 on the salary he earned as a baggage handler at SeaTac Airport. That same house would cost nearly $500,000 today yet wages for workers like my father have not kept up,” Smith said in a statement. “Congress must take action to crack down on corporate greed and get hedge funds out of the single-family home market.”
The bill, if passed, could provide some rare relief to people seeking to buy a home. According to National Association of Realtors data, the median price of a single-family home in November 2019 was $271,300 — while, in November of this year, the median home price was $400,000.
