Black People Politics : ▶ Republicans, Dems and "Progressives" unite telling blacks "We'll never give you reparations."

Pragmatism in the name of at lest keeping the ship afloat is really the only option at this point but in the end that's just plugging the largest hole. But with this creaky old pile of funk taking on so much water from so many more neglected poorly patched holes throughout it's hulking framework does lead one to wonder if salvaging it is even within the range of realistic possibilities given that the skeleton was pecker wood and rotten to start even before the planks for the hull had started to be nailed into place.

Attend and vote in those local school board meetings.
Attend and vote in those local city/town/neighborhood counsel meetings.
Vote for the representative in your district for the state legislation.......and then make sure they, the school boards, the town counsels, the state representative serve your interests.
From the ground up the only way.
 
Eventually I get around to relating everything to basketball. Voting for people of color is like participating in a away game at a rich white school. The refs are cheating for the home team and so is the scorekeeper. The home team is the white owned establishment. The away team is the people of color. We know we are more talented but the odds are against us winning. Still us being in the game forces the home team to deal with us and the fact they have to cheat in order to win. If one of our team players quit (black people) not only do we forfeit that game, we are taken off the schedule. The home team no longer has to deal with us and our teammates (people of color) have no faith in our ability to finish any game in the future.
 
Responding to your post: Regarding Socialism and Communism here are some thoughts that may seem random and unorganized, but please consider them. The United States has in place a certain socialism that is referred to as welfare, free public schools with lunch programs for those who can't afford it, Social Security, Senior Advocates, Meals on Wheels, Saint Jude's Children's Hospital free, Shriner's Hospital for Children free, food kitchens for the homeless, Dollar Stores, Hospice for families and care of the dying. There is a charity for everything. There is a huge list. And then we send charity of all kinds over seas. We do this and we have not lost any individual freedom. Our democracy inspires organized advocacy for others, like in the Black community.

No nation can financially afford Socialism, especially broke and skinny Communism with it's crimes against humanity. Show me one nation that afforded its citizens the opportunities that the U.S. has. Denmark is collapsing under the cost of it's Socialism. In those poster nations for Socialism citizens have to wait to get an apartment for years, so they live with their grandparents, three generations in one apartment.

With both those kind of regimes the people have loss. Loss of individual freedom because both get told what they can have, do, and have a loss of comfort and state of the art commodities.

People who are lonely would find volunteering to help out a way to solve that problem for themselves and others.

Regarding moving: Your children are your happiness. I don't think they will go with you. Have you ever heard of this? "Where ever you go, there you are." Meaning we take some of our issues with us. I do think traveling there to look around and then move is a great idea. Best wishes. :)

Stop conflating any of the thinned out and now almost nonexistent socialistic programs meant for the good of the nation as a whole with private charity work.
Socialism in this country now is only for the corps. Privatize the profits and socialize the risks.
 
If Black people voting was such a non starter, why does the GOP do everything in its power to suppress the Black vote? #ThingsThatShouldMakeYouThink

I may have been a bit slow catching on, but I'm following you now...you're under the impression that there's a distinction between the GOP and the Dems, right?
