Black People : Why It’s Time for America to Get Real About Reparations for Black Folks

[Enki]

I disagree, Enki ... hopelessness should never deter us from the fight, we must always "KEEP HOPE ALIVE"!

I was being sarcastic.... couldn't you tell?

Or did I miss the hope part of the post? All I heard was negativity...So is this what we need? If you ain't with it, take a seat, why stand in the way of folks that are trying to accomplish something.

Peace!

What's going on here? Lol... Feel like I am at a family barbecue and somebody just called 45 at the domino table. How you gone call 45? It ain't going down like that. You ain't got no money on that play.

I agree with you that we aren't united in those items you listed above. But, there are many things that you have listed that has been part of the problem too. Why aren't you addressing them? Out of all
listed that has stopped our getting reparations, you only attack the Bible.

That I don't get, you have been beating that horse for years, you don't think it's dead yet?
Nothing's changed, Christians still Christians, Atheists are still Atheists, and those who have
other religious beliefs still worship in their own way. I've asked you before about your religion
and to tell us about it and how you choose it, I still have not see you expound upon it in depth.

I don't understand!

I DON'T WRITE TO ATTEMPT TO TRY AND CHANGE ANYONE OR ANYBODY WHO MAY BE WHAT THEY ARE. THAT IS NOT MY GOAL. My goal, since I know the power of the internet, is to provide the information FOR THE YOUNG SO THAT THEY DO NOT BECOME AS MANY OF US HAVE BECOME. I NEED THEM TO SEE THE B.S. SO THAT THEY DON'T BECOME OLD @SS VICTIMS OF ISH THAT IMMOBIIZES THEM FROM DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE...PURE AND SIMPLE!

YOU SAY I HAVE BEEN BEATING THAT HORSE FOR YEARS...BUT THE HORSE THAT MANY OF US HAVE BEEN RIDING HAS BEEN BEATEN FOR 2000 YEARS....SO MY LITTLE BIT OF TIME BEATING IT AIN'T ISH COMPARED TO HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN BEATEN AND DRILLED INTO THE MASSES. MY LITTLE TIME OF BEATING IT AIN'T ISH COMPARED TO THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT. MY BEATING IT ISN'T ISH COMPARED TO THE MORE THAN 70,000 WOMEN THAT HAVE BEEN BURNED BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT.

SO IN HAVING SAID THAT, THE SUPPORTERS OF THIS B.S. THAT HIT THE LIKE BUTTON ON YOUR POST NEED TO GO BACK AND RECOGNIZE ALSO INSTEAD OF BEING DRUM MAJORS ON SOME ISH THAT THEY TOO ARE VICTIMS OF!!

ONE MORE THING...THE BIBLE IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THE OTHER BOOKS...SO WHEN THAT FALLS, SO DO THEY. HOW DOES ONE CLAIM TO LOVE THE TREE AND YET HATE THE ROOT FROM WHICH THE TREE CAME??...CAUSE THE BIBLE AND ALL OTHER BOOKS HAVE A COMMON SOURCE....ANCIENT KEMET !!!

I don't quite understand the "45" and the family barbecue references Blackbird, lol, but the discussion is winding down, at this point.

Here's a link to the article of the young man, Ta-Nehisi Coates, which prompted me to start the Thread, its pretty interesting, check it out:
