@Pa1adOX @IAmShannonAli It is wrong. Our homeland is the United States and our values are our own formed over hundreds of years. How else to fucking nations and cultures form? Yall clueless
@Big_Ty Oh well. The only thing our vote has done is make whites more secure and comfortable. What have we gotten when our household wealth has not grown in decades and is a small fraction of what whites have. Get out of here. So in other words, go vote even if there's no benefit. Bye
@Big_Ty Which is why they do nothing to make us better off such as passing that anti-lynch bill that has been lingering in congress since forever. And, also what about reparations? Native Americans, Jewish. Japanese and so forth got paid.. we built this country so where is ours. Smh
@Big_Ty There is a reason that both Republicans and Democrats voted for the Asian hate bill: they wanted to secure their vote because both parties know that if they didn't, the Asians would swing either left or right during elections. They figure Black Americans will always vote Democrat
@Big_Ty Yall are doing too much tap dancing for these white supremacists. Black Americans can be tired of racist ass democratic politicians just like we have been tired of racist ass republican politicians. We won't vote repub because they hate us and we should give dems the same energy
@Big_Ty Yes ice cube has been taken out of context;he never told anyone to vote republican. He got on video and said that we have been voting democrat for 50-60 years and nothing has changed. He said something needs to change. What's so wrong about that when most of us think that anyway?
@Red_Roscoe@mrshaheedmalik@WendellPierce But who said vote Republican? Ice cube didn't say that. I can be anti democrat and still not vote for Republicans, who have let me know that they are my enemy. Wtf is wrong with yall. Dems have gotten our votes for decades with no reward for us Black Americans. That's the point
@AndrewGreene864@mrshaheedmalik@WendellPierce Now talk about how Bill Clinton, who is democrat, implemented those horrible criminal injustice platforms in the first place. Let's not. Where is the anti-lynch bill? Obama had both the house and senate and... nothing. Where is the economic injustice reform via reparations?
@jrmikey80 @mrshaheedmalik@WendellPierce But we know that Republicans will not do shit for us. Ice cube didn't say vote republican. Yall just can't stand that Black Americans are tired of democrats playing in our faces and PRETENDING like they got our backs while not doing shit to show it. Anti-lynch bill? Reparations?
@TendentiousG Again, ice cube is talking about leveraging votes for economic power. You dont know shit and are part of the problem within our community. But, Black people on twitter are not the bulk of Black Americans in "real life" so stfu 2/2
@TendentiousG You shut up. She was a voting rights activist from MY community and after everything they did to her during freedom summer, she became aware of what Economic power and leverage was...thus forming Freedom Farm for poor Black folks. 1/2
@jimmyperry0621 I wonder what households a lot of yall grew up in. My Black daddy and Black brothers were either in the same room watching the color purple with me, my mama and sisters, or in another room while we watched it. And, we didn't live or respect them less. This is weird as hell
@jimmyperry0621 No. I love Black men and those are the only men I love AND, I liked the color purple growing up. Exposing things that were happening in our community doesn't mean that Black men are evil, as a whole. Just like exposing things that Black women have done doesn't make us evil smh
