If you just look at a lot of the pushback in this thread. It's excuses. The system is rigged but only to an extent. People talk about it as though it's absolute. That's not the case. I won't argue that there aren't problems. However there are attainable solutions to said problems!

It's definitely the most important mechanism of uplifting ourselves. If not why all the talk and discussion about reparations. A community having money makes a difference. The issue is no one wants to talk about other means of getting it. It's just reparations. As if that's the only option...

The ideology that we need our own lawyers etc. is a faulty talking point. That's coming from a place of that a person is so broke they are depending on an attorney to help them pro-bono. We just need the money to hire attorneys. An attorney will take your case if you have the money to pay him...

If you don't have money and police know that. It's an invitation for them to brutalize you! If you can file a lawsuit though, they aren't quite as quick to go full blown white terrorist on you.

I'm constantly obsessed with growth. If I'm made $600, I'm thinking about how to make $700. If I get a good job I'm looking to see if I can get promoted or get a better one. If I make an investment that gains income I'm looking for another. I'm talking to people around me who are just as or...

I see so much being discussed in the way of reparations. I see so much being discussed in the way of entertainment. Very little is ever talked about as far as success. Tips for success. Information on education. Business ventures. It's like these things aren't of importance. Why aren't...

I don't forsee reparations as realistic. I know Prof. Black Truth and Jason Black and Phillip Scott all talk a big game. They talk about how much progress has been made towards reparations. Truth is that all sounds good but that's all it is. Talk. These are just summer random dudes on YouTube...

I honestly just feel some people are sitting around making excuses, waiting for a reparations check which in all honesty is likely never going to come. Maybe reparations come, maybe the don't. Either way that's not the determination of how my life will look. I can't control politicians. I...

That I agree with. We have to far better to be successful. We have to work twice as hard as other races to get the same level of success! I see that at work every day!

1. Tax Exempt Status 2. Preference Hiring for Civil Service 3. Government Backed Loan for Housing 4. Subsidies for Health Insurance Coverage 5. Grants to start business 6. Anti Black Hate Crime Bill 7. Make Black people a protected class 8. Police Reform (as outlined in my post) 9. Release all...

So I think everyone by now knows I'm a nurse. So here's the situation. One of the duties we're assigned to do is called scrubbing. This consists of reviewing the upcoming week's appointments. You review the physician's most recent notes and see if anything specific was requested at the next...

Before. If I kept the same schedule as I have now I'd likely go over $100k this year. My calculations are at $98.7k. So it Problem is I'm exhausted already. I'm giving thought to cutting back on my part time from twice a month to once a month. I'd still make around $90k by my calculations...

I haven't researched women. However as far as men athletes, rappers, and actors are far less than 1%. You could remove them from the equation and the numbers wouldn't change. Most black men that are in the middle class are working regular positions and jobs. We're doctors, lawyers...

We aren't as hopeless as they make you think. I mean just look at the statistics I quoted. These are not just off the cuff numbers. They are researched from reputable sources. According to those numbers most black men are doing well. It's the minority of them who aren't! I agree with you that...

Consider stool softener. Check with physician also. Ensure it's just hemorrhoids. Make sure you are getting you colonoscopy regularly. Don't forget how we lost brother Chadwick Bozeman!

At some point I came to feel a lot of people in new black media simply have a gig. That gig brings in clicks and views. Those clicks and views bring in dollars. To a point it becomes that it's just a lot of loud angry talk and talking slick. A lot of it is playing on our anger and sympathies...

That very well could be the case. I am not sure how true that stat is. I hear TD HipHop Media quote that "Our median income will be 0 by 2053" quite often. I believe the point should be to not be part of that statistic. We should be aiming for being better off whether we get reparations or not...

I meant to say "I feel that way because in all honesty cash payments aren't realistically going to get passed. That's just the reality."

Personally I don't. Not in the form of cash payments. I mean I'll take it if they give it. It's not a priority for me though. You posted the below: * cash reparations first and foremost, * land + funding for development (especially since land and property were stolen from us, often...

No way he is still free and just walking around the neighborhood around me if this was my child. We'd both be in places that rhyme with L.
