Black people need to awaken to the fact that the respectability politics, performative/symbolic gestures, and recognition does not feed our families, create an economic base, decrease poverty, progress us forward. We must hold our representatives accountable #ReparationsNow
@rottengirl@queenie4rmnola We don’t have to include slavery in the argument…the US provided an economic floor via Homestead Act and New Deal policies and effectively excluded black Americans at the same stole and terrorized the things we self built
@Brooksvillain@queenie4rmnola The US has paid reparative policy of native Americans ( a lot which happened before the country was established) as well as Jews and Japanese. Furthermore the govt provided an economic floor to white citizens via Homestead Act and New Deal policies. What’s your issue w/ blacks?
@FiveHeadClub@queenie4rmnola The argument is concentrated moreso on exclusion from New Deal policies that provided white citizens an economic floor..so not sure what you talking about.
