@ados_strong @cjgproduxions You already got reparations. Since the 1965 war on poverty, the federal government spent over 30 trillion $$$, and you black Americans got a disproportionate amount of that largesse.

[Patrick Jean-Baptiste @joucalendar]

@Lench_o @cjgproduxions And you’re worse than the kkk.

@KngFlatch @cjgproduxions FBA is not real. It’s a made up thing, the way children play house. No way for grown folks to behave.

@James75119 @1Nicdar You just wanted an excuse to use “troupes “ of monkeys, didn’t you? You so smart!

@EzraOj3608 @JJay3fours @B1TuckerCarlson American Civil War; Russian vs Ukraine; WWI and II. I could keep going. White men are the most violent race in the world.

@chickyxime Disney is a company , which means it’s in business to make money. So anything Disney sells us is by definition a fantasy, a commodity, which means purely transactional.

@KlausSchwabsCat @ellainmaryland1 @TheInternetFish It’s not everyone. White people invented racial categories that all ofnus are stuck with now. When we were in Africa we had tribal identities, not racial ones. So ask white people to get over skin color.

[Patrick Jean-Baptiste @joucalendar]

@Nih_Noh @ellainmaryland1 @TheInternetFish White is the standard and therefore is and has always been invisible and nameless.

Solution would be to outlaw racism. US outlawed segregation but didn’t outlaw racism. And if it’s a hate crime, perps should get the death penalty. We should follow Germany, where racism is illegal criminally and civilly. Even racial profiling by the police is considered unconstitutional and illegal in Germany.

@BreakingBrown The SPLC paid confidential informants to gather credible intel not to keep the KKK and other hate groups in power.

@Sundiatakinte @PJenkins1931 Why would they build a hbcu in Africa? The whole freaking continent is overwhelmingly black, genius! There are close to 40k universities and colleges in Africa, moron. And if it wasn’t for Africans going to hbcus here, they would probably go bankrupt.
