BLM’s Plan for Racial Jutice

Lost in #blackouttuesday is the agenda being pushed by BLM. Interesting how nobody is discussing this. Via PopularDemocracy.org
quote:
The plan, titled “A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice,” offers up six core demands and 40 policy priorities, NBC News noted. They include:
Ending the War on Black People: This includes abolishing the death penalty, mass surveillance in communities of color, the privatization of police, violence against all Blacks (including Black trans, queer and gender nonconforming people) and using a past criminal history as a means to seek a job, housing, license and voting rights.
Reparations: To address the past and current harms that slavery, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration have done to the Black community, BLM is seeking reparations for the wealth extracted from our communities, guaranteed livable income and free access and open admissions to public community colleges, universities, and technical schools, to name a few.
Invest-Divest: Instead of federal, state, and local monies being invested into prisons, police, surveillance, and exploitative corporations, BLM would rather see that invested into long-term safety strategies such as education, local restorative justice services, employment programs, and universal health care.
Economic Justice: This is calling for Black communities to have real collective ownership of wealth in the U.S. This could be achieved with restructuring tax codes, creating federal and state job programs that specifically target the most economically marginalized Black people, breaking up large banks and ensuring better protection for workers.
Community Control: This would include the end of the privatization of education and making sure communities have the power to hire and fire officers, determine disciplinary action, control budgets and policies, and subpoena relevant agency information when needed.
Political Power: To ensure that real democracy can be achieved for all Black people, BLM wants for all political prisoners to be released, eliminating Super Pacs that fund candidates, ensuring election protection, early registration at the age of 16, full access to technology and the internet, and increased funding to HBCU’s.

Because there's nothing better than a person with a history of child molestation applying to work at a daycare.
Or a person with a history of stealing drugs to work as a pharmacy associate.
Or a person with a history of stealing and scamming old people working at a retirement financial planning company.

That whole thing reads like a socialist wet dream.

So basically midnight basketball. Yeah how's that been working out for the past several decades?
Basically they want a bunch of free shite without having to work for it. Wherever could that have been picked up from?

So all of this for ONLY black people? And how is this not racist? Can white people get reparations for all money families have spent on funerals and money being absent in homes where husbands/providers have been killed at the hands of black men?

Gimme gimme gimme gimme

Are they going to call for more black sperm donors to stick around and be fathers and role models to their kids?

These people literally don’t live in reality. This is why you can’t have a reasonable conversation with any of them. You might as well be negotiating with aliens living on mars because that’s how astronomically far out there they are.

So basically demands that can/will never be achieved and are racist in themselves!
Got it..
Got it..

Or better yet, divide the country in half and watch one half turn into a war zone that makes the worst 3rd world country look like Dubai.

I didn’t read all that but let me guess at the gist:
“Once we get rid of all the whites it will be “just us””.
“Once we get rid of all the whites it will be “just us””.

They forgot to ask for ponies.

Some of it Murray Rothbard would support. Monetary reparations is a no no.

And people wonder why nobody takes them seriously...

Didn’t Trump already do this?
More than Obama
quote:
Context matters here. Inflation, funding on the heels of an economic downturn, the composition of Congress and budget priorities for job creation and healthcare are elements critical for any analysis of either president’s HBCU support. And even though we may not be able to fully trust numbers compiled by officials working under partisan directives, there are few budget outlines of any kind which suggest other than what too many of us fear; the guy we love to hate is showing historic love to historically black colleges.

Ever notice how its always what others have to do to advance blm and it never seems to include what they have to do as well? All sides need to move forward. Moving forward didn't mean giving one race a free pass on everything.
