Looks like they are describing Wakanda.

Pretty sure that wealth has been extracted out of all communities for this already.

What's striking is the amount of segregation demanded in that list. These people are NOT the heirs of MLK's vision. Sad that's been lost.

More white are sentenced to death than blacks, a lot more. That has frick all to do with race. They want more surveillance in black communities? That will back fire. Who's going to pay for a private police force. If they're asking for funding for a private police force, that's not a private police force. Stop violence against all blacks? Ok, blacks can start by ceasing violence against other blacks, which accounts for 99% of the violence against them. Using past history as means to get a job? So I shouldn't be able to know if you were arrested for stealing from your last employer? Ok, sure thing

Get the mother frick out. "Please give us money so we don't have to work."

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.
Most of this already happens. Their communities unfortunately choose not to use them to their benefit.
quote:
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.
So let's go ahead and throw away the Constitution while we're at it
quote:
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.
OR, maybe blacks should just vote more than they do

The sad part is people are buying into this

Blacks are 12% of the population. And I'd bet 2/3 of that 12% don't agree with these demands.
WTH are we even listening to this minority of a minority? frick em. Send them back to the ghettos from which they come and tell them to do what the other 2/3 of the black community is doing- going to work, raising their kids, and making their way.
And if they continue to be militant and riot, beat them into submission. The fact that we even entertain this shite is an insult.

Hmm. Seems I would be hard pressed to allow my child anywhere near that school system.

When you peel back the layers of race problems, many may not like what the see. There is much work to be done by all. ALL!

So they think Communism will solve their problems...if they only knew
Posted on 6/2/20 at 3:15 pm to Ancient Astronaut
Well im part Irish and we were the cheap slaves while African slaves were far more expensive so im gonna need some of those reparations as well.
Posted on 6/2/20 at 3:27 pm to Ancient Astronaut
Their demands, as per usual, are laughable.
This is why most people forgot about BLM and Kapernick's knee-gate.
People can rally behind tempting taglines like fight injustice and black lives matter, but the second these people offer their actual "solutions" the average person wants none of that insanity.

Responsible black people will vote NO.
Posted on 6/2/20 at 3:36 pm to Ancient Astronaut
Basically what I predicted, they want a separate set of laws, no accountability, they want everyone else to pay for it but they don’t want to be excluded from any social norms as well.
