I really wish folk would stand up for MLK with the same vigor that they stand up for Stokely.

Anyway, this is how it all started:

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

Today we announced PARKS FOR ALL—a plan to increase spending for public parks and community centers based on needs. Other cities spend an average of $107 per resident on parks and Louisville spends an average of $40. That's about to change.

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

"Combined, the seven projects will create almost 300 housing units for families making below 30% of the area median income, or about $27,000 for a family of four. The developments will be spread out across the city..."

LFG! 🏘️

@djrothkopf We disagree.

This tragedy isn't the fault of a political party alone. This "ideology of hate" is interwoven in the entire history of this nation. It is currently abused by a channel & a party, but none of this is new.

[FridayJones @IAMFridayJones]

Reparations are not Civil Rights, are not a stimulus package - it is the repair of a people and a repair of a Nation. It is non partisan and pro America.

It looks like there was an eventual settlement in Dec. 2020. So as far as this is concerned, I'm good.

Go on ahead, Judge Jackson.

@jemelehill It's a revelation of how out of touch they were, and are.

Arrogance at its core and a deep, fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on in America.

@tonetalks Interesting.

It appears that recent inflation has been driven by the shipping & supply chain shortages, but perhaps the $Ts of liquidity put into the economy might be a push as well.

Have to factor these issues in.

[TheLENS (Leading Ebony News Source) @LENSADOSnews]

@NCOBRA40 @barringtonmack Does this mean that the "toxic" and "ratchet" are not American citizens who have been historically wronged and deserve equal protection under the law as a start, and full recompense (which includes money) for what was stolen?

@Apanage21 The NCCFR...is a coalition.

One composed of committed, passionate people who have been working in this space for the last few years & crave justice. A debt is owed.

[Arthur Ward - Freedmen Chicago @Apanage21]

Somebody get a copy of Dr. Darity's book over to Michael Eric Dyson please. LOANS of any kind should never be part of a reparations package. Every piece of reparations should be one-way and done only. From the government to us.

And No Paybacks Whatsoever...

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

Japanese Americans got over a billion in direct payments for reparations.

Native Americans got trillions in direct payments and land for reparations.

Black Americans get "$25,000 for home repairs or down payments on property."

This is not what I'm fighting for.

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

If you've delivered groceries, started gardens, organized pop-ups, or anything to help during this time THANK YOU.

[Jecorey Arthur @jecoreyarthur]

Louisville Metro District 4 is getting a full-service grocery this year.

4 years without one is violence.

All 26,000 of us have waited too long.
