Gabe Piemonte is running for alderman in Chicago. His website: Piemonte for Alderman

Recently, MarcelForCongress vetted and endorsed Gabe for his reparationist stance.
While some black people are all in for support, I'm also seeing other black people saying he's anti-black. And overall, I'm seeing a disconnect within the community.

I personally don't know anything about him, but what are your thoughts? Do you know anything about him? Do you think he has black people's best interest at heart? If not, how do you feel about Marcel endorsing him?

I'm inclined to trust Marcel's opinion as a start but I'd do my own research.

I will follow Neely Fuller Jr.'s code pertaining to people classified as White who call out or try to address White Supremacy/Racism.

Watch them with no emotion, and see what they actually do. When White Supremacy is eliminated, only then will I congratulate them and proclaim thier intentions.

    He used to get into the 6ZEROS twitter conversations and I told him to mind his business. He tries to get into the mix and insert his opinion on Black issues and any Black person allowing that needs to question if they are truly on code.

    If he ever signs up here he can listen but can’t chime in or try to direct the conversation. He is an outsider and if he is truly a reparationist he needs to take himself to Bass Pro Shop and try to convince them over there.

    Not try to get into Black people’s conversation and direct it.

    It may be harsh but any Black person that is letting this guy into our politics is an idiot. We should be like “you for reparations…great kthxbye” but instead he is on spaces taking sides between the different Black subgroups and some of the Black people are supporting him.

    I’m beginning to develop a distaste for the Black empowerment community on Twitter. It’s the anti-thesis of “on code”, it’s a bunch faux-Black twitter fingers.

    So let me get this right, Marcel attacked 6ZEROS for saying we as a community should respect on code non-Black Americans but then turns around and co-signs a White man?



    Yeaaaaaaa…I’m completely off of dude now. No homo.

    Might be a snake in the grass "reparationist" like Janice Hahn and others were proven to be with this latest scam (and publicity stunt) that targeted Bruce Beach's Black owners and their family. Gavin Newsom seems like a shady individual "reparationist" too as he signed off on it. 👀 Keep an eye on Gavin Newsom too. We'll need to hold Gavin Newsom to task for this atrocity as well, especially in 2024.

    Example:

    Family to sell Bruce's Beach property back to L.A. County for nearly $20 million

    County officials say the Bruce family has agreed to sell the Bruce's Beach property in Manhattan Beach back to Los Angeles County for nearly $20 million.

    Check out this thread:

    Shout out to 6ZEROS

    Today I witnessed people I respect get highly upset because other people like the creator of this ap made it clear that they don't like the excessive anti-Blackness that some of these random accounts display on social media. To the creator of...
    www.6zeros.net

    TL;DR Marcel slandered 6ZEROS because Jay said that we shouldn’t call all Black foreigners ”tether”, only the coons. Marcel went irate, started yelling, and being belligerent and saying that on code Black immigrants shouldn't be offended if they are called a tether and if they are, “fuck their feelings”. After he got done yelling he immediately made a twitter space slandering Jay and different posts over a couple weeks slandering Jay and saying he was caping for immigrants but not defending Black Americans. Which was dumb because Jay made 6ZEROS for us he just doesn’t want it ending up like twitter with a bunch of name calling. Some didn’t like that Jay kicked him off the stage but I didn’t care because Marcel was yelling and would get his ass beat in public yelling at another man like that.

    Exactly how I feel too but you know a lot of Black people can't resist a White man. Let Gabe Piedmonte start rapping "Rapper's Delight" and the donations will come in hand over fist.

    I’m not from Chicago, but have been involved in the reparations fight for a few years. He has been involved, long before he was running for office. A lot of people sounding the alarm are VERY new to the space or they don’t actually put in any work.

    Now I think he was very comfortable to be insulting to a group of people who seem to follow pseudoscience. He can get dragged for that because he shouldn’t have felt comfortable speaking like that when he is not our people group. We get on tethers all the time, and definitely should get on white people who do the same.

    If he is really about justice, he will survive this, will watch his mouth, and will continue to do the work.

    I think no one can answer these questions now as he needs to build trust. That’s my stance for all “allies“ to the reparations movement; they have the burden of proof. So like others have said, I trust Marcel’s vetting but I also understand others apprehension to Gabe. If he can build trust by pushing Freedmen interest at the local level, then he has my support.

    I'm not up-to-date on the latest episode of "Twitter Wars" but these two lines are very alarming to me. Are we seeing the same ole self-hate manifest itself within this online community? A self-hate that has Black people attacking other Black people with extreme vigor but becoming docile whenever the perpetrator is White? It may be. Except with an international twist.

    I wish people would stop with this tribalism, Non-FBA vs FBA, Twitter Space beef, and Taharka Bey vs. Tariq Nashheed type nonsense. You know racisr anti-Black operatives love sowing seeds of confusion and division.

    I have been tuning out of this non-productive Twitter Space beef nonsense and others need to do the same. I was considering watching the 6ZEROS vs Marcel thing, but it decided against it. I'm not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of supporting our interests, our reparations, and our tangibles. I had to recently drastically cut down my intake of Twitter Space beef videos by Dee Tubman and others. I'm not about to spend this year and the rest of my years keeping up with Twitter Spaces like it's Bad Girls Club, Love and Hip Hop, Black Ink or the Real Housewifes of Atlanta. I don't even waste time with "reality" shows, so why would I waste time with online trolls and asshats?

    In this 2023 and beyond Black people (and Black children like Sinzae Reed) are still being hunted down and gunned down in the streets by civilians and racist corrupt cops alike. I don't see anyone outside demanding change and holding racist WS non-Blacks to task, but I see plenty of people online arguing and Twitter beefing with other Black people to no end. I don't even see enough Black people going after racist non-Blacks like Black people go after each other.

    It's totally okay to have healthy debates and vilify open anti-Reparationists operatives like Xaviaer DuRousseau and those who are $5 vultures spreading lies and misinformation about us FBA / ADOS / Freedmen people.

    Reason #3,687 Why FBA Must Delineate: Caribbean Man Claims "Black American" Label To Say That "We" Don't Need Reparations

    This is starting to become a lot more commonplace.
    www.6zeros.net

    Disingenuous TETHER continues to disrespect FBA/ADOS to curry favor with Right Wingers.

    Haitian American continues to cosplay as a Descendent of American Slaves and disrespects Black American history. Now he's trying to rub our faces into the disrespect. This is why these issues are so heated and emotional. This gentleman feels he...
    www.6zeros.net

    But having Twitter fingers and getting into online arguments with any and everyone just because as well as having Twitter spaces lasting for over 4 hours, 8 hours, 20+ hours per day is worrying, not healthy, and not at all constructive. Be better and do better.

    The self hate is not gone it’s just been rebranded. They’re attacking other Black people under the guise of “protecting the culture” and when really they are just self hating coons.

    I don’t know about this guy but since he’s had a habit of putting in his inappropriate 2 cents about Black matters, that makes him persona non grata for me.

    If he’s changed since then, he should humbly and gladly support and take directives from the Black reparationists in Illinois. If he can totally take the lead of a Black male reparationist then I’d seriously consider possibly, maybe throwing my crown in the ring for him. Maybe.

    The self hate is not gone it’s just been rebranded. They’re attacking other Black people under the guise of “protecting the culture” and when really they are just self hating coons on a subconscious level.

    If a pro-Black person is subconsciously a self-hating coon, does it make them as self-hating as a Larry Elders?
