U.S. Black Lives Matter Releases List of Demands

Black humanity and dignity requires Black political will and power. Despite constant exploitation and perpetual oppression, Black people have bravely and brilliantly been the driving force pushing the U.S. towards the ideals it articulates but has never achieved. In recent years we have taken to the streets, launched massive campaigns, and impacted elections, but our elected leaders have failed to address the legitimate demands of our Movement. We can no longer wait.
In response to the sustained and increasingly visible violence against Black communities in the U.S. and globally, a collective of more than 50 organizations representing thousands of Black people from across the country have come together with renewed energy and purpose to articulate a common vision and agenda. We are a collective that centers and is rooted in Black communities, but we recognize we have a shared struggle with all oppressed people; collective liberation will be a product of all of our work.
The 6 demands are:
End the war on black people
Reparations
Invest-Divest
Economic Justice
Community Control
Political Power

I like how they couldn't leave reparations out.
Is this Germans? I imagine it is but oh well...

Ask 504ByrdGang about this. apparently he feels strongly about the idea of reparations because all white people owned slaves.

This one I really just don't see. What position are they asking for, President? Don't see that happening.

To sum up their demands: "Give us your money. Stop putting us in jail even if we commit crimes. Leave us alone."
Basically, "let us do whatever the hell we want, but you pay for it."

Seems reasonable to me.
Let them continue to act irresponsibly with no repercussions for their poor decisions. What could possibly go wrong?

"We also recognize and honor the rights and struggle of our Indigenous family for land and self-determination."
Would forty acres and a mule do it for y'all?
