Black Lives Matter Demands

images

 

 

The groups that make up Black Lives Matter have released a list of demands:

 

  1. Reparations for the systemic denial of access to high quality educational opportunities in the form of full and free access for all Black people (including undocumented and currently and formerly incarcerated people) to lifetime education including: free access and open admissions to public community colleges and universities, technical education (technology, trade and agricultural), educational support programs, retroactive forgiveness of student loans, and support for lifetime learning programs.
  2. Reparations for the continued divestment from, discrimination toward and exploitation of our communities in the form of a guaranteed minimum livable income for all Black people, with clearly articulated corporate regulations.
  3. Reparations for the wealth extracted from our communities through environmental racism, slavery, food apartheid, housing discrimination and racialized capitalism in the form of corporate and government reparations focused on healing ongoing physical and mental trauma, and ensuring our access and control of food sources, housing and land.
  4. Reparations for the cultural and educational exploitation, erasure, and extraction of our communities in the form of mandated public school curriculums that critically examine the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism and slavery, and funding to support, build, preserve, and restore cultural assets and sacred sites to ensure the recognition and honoring of our collective struggles and triumphs.
  5. Legislation at the federal and state level that requires the United States to acknowledge the lasting impacts of slavery, establish and execute a plan to address those impacts. This includes the immediate passage of H.R.40, the “Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act” or subsequent versions which call for reparations remedies.

Go here to read the rest.  Trump should ask Clinton repeatedly if she agrees with these demands.  One thing I will miss with the end of the Obama administration is all the racial healing.  The Democrats for decades have used racial appeals to black voters to increase black turnout at the polls.  They have sown the wind and they are beginning to reap the whirlwind.

I’m not entirely sure she would have a problem with this. All the “free” stuff BLM wants seems to be pretty much part of what Socialists want anyway, and surely the black population is a good place to start? Small enough. And then of course all the other groups will want theirs and they will then get it as a matter of fairness, and then we will be like Venezuela where the masses starve, but Maduro and all the other politicos (are the bishops and priests well fed with them?) seem well-fed, so no problem.

Sorry BLM….From reparations, you must first deduct the trillions in non deserved welfare money not by all blacks but by those living a life of non vowed procreation with sundry men from the age of 16 onward….which men vanish after an argument and find another welfare recipient. There is a black man on you tube, Tommy Sotomayor, who’ll say worse than I’m saying to you BLM. Black abortions are 1700 per day. There is a black reverend on the net who’ll inform you of those lives and those murders….and he won’t shift the responsibility to the white man.
I taught in Newark decades ago and both black and white teachers were excellent. Can you tell us the percentage of black ghetto youth who are studying four hours a night like an Asian off the boat would… and the other black percent watching tv five hours a night and studying not at all.
Slavery? I hired a young black guy to shovel my snow two years ago but made the mistake of paying him ahead of time….it was the worst job imaginable. Can you funnel reparations to me.
Personal history…sent a parentless black girl to Catholic school for three years and tutored her nightly for those three years and bought her grandmother a washing machine so that the girl didn’t waste time doing the laundry by hand. Downstairs were two cousins whose dad was selling heroin while holding a job. He and his crew almost razored me one night when I opened the heroin room door by mistake. I need reparations from you for my trauma. I took all three girls on trips outside the ghetto on weekends….and to Sunday Mass because they were already Catholic.
BLM….your seeking money is just one more theft among others….like the one a black man did on me…until I retrieved all my things from him by choking and other moves than I’ll never put in print lest I’m one day in front of a jury from the piers…not of my peers….from the piers. Have a black ceo or cfo rather figure the whole financial story….your reparations figure after deducting the trillions in welfare rip offs via promiscuous births without the vow of marriage per God. You just might owe the USA…a whole lotta money….like the dude who shoveled my snow for all of seven minutes.

Link has the figures. The US has spent 15 Trillion $ on welfare since 1964 and there is little change in the poverty level:

Great rant, Bill Bannon. I’m sick of the whining and ungratefulness of BLM.

Ginny,
What turns my stomach is that Michael Brown’s mother and several other unworthies are going to work that con with them. At least forty blacks in Brown’s neighborhood were probably thrilled that he went to the next world in a perfect act of self defense by the cop. Brown probably ripped off half the blacks in his area at one time or another just as he did that store ….and now they needn’t worry about him anymore….but none of them will ever say it in public. And the nytimes and cnn will never broach such realities of the ghetto.

I have a part-time employee who works 3 jobs to give her daughter’s 10 y.o. advantages. I’ve met him and he is a polite, smart young fellow. I asked her if she had any other grandchildren. “Well”, she said, “my son has two babies on the way.” Whereupon I said that’s neat that twins run in your family. “No”, she plied, “one’s due in Sept and the other in Nov.”

I wonder if BLM ever thought of how Democrats really feelabout Blacks. By advocating abortions and putting clinics in Black neighborhoods they are saying that Black Lives Don’t Matter. Democrats have always used Blacks for their own purposes beginning with slavery. One of these days Blacks will wake up to the fact that Republicans are really their friends and Democrats their enemy.

Demand #1 in part, is that they want the government to make someone else do work for them, without pay.
Didn’t that use to be called slavery?

BLM is one group that is driving this nation to a tipping point. Illegal immigration, terrorism, angry blacks, a floundering economy, violent crime….it cannot continue forever.

Tipping point? Lazy stupid people with bad morals will almost always do the wrong thing, particularly if they are guided by their culture to do so. The Obama culture of welfare, foodstamps, unemployment, free obamaphones, BLM, rap music and other ghetto garbage will cause only one thing: bad people. Bad people need to be locked up and then rehabilitated. It would help if those bad people would then be forced to pay reparations for all of the harm they have done to society….that would be just
