  1. No one needs to keep you behind the rest the f society. You do such a good job yourselves. Here’s an idea : Make your own money. Don’t depend on others. Put your OWN money into your communities. In short, get your shit together. See Sacramento. See Brooklyn Subway. See Chicago. See Minneapolis. Shall I go on?

  2. Not to worry. It won’t be signed.

  3.  @b.v.g.feddie8667  You need to go back to school. Do you have any idea how much it costs per year to house a prisoner? It ain’t cheap. Your argument makes no sense.

  4. Then I guess you’re just going to have to do it yourself as so many black Americans have actually done. What’s your excuse?

  5. How about “You’ll get nothing and like it.”?

  7.  @deeplyrelaxingg  How do you figure 1) YOU built this country at just 10-12% of the population? and 2) your ancestors worked for free? They were fed and housed by the owners, which is more than many of their white counterparts could get from wage labor. This country was largely built by the industrializing north.

  8.  @glorymosbyfloyd3878  I’m sure you are. Who wouldn’t be?

  9. Why do you waste your time thinking about this crap.

  10.  @LionIron447  You should really see someone about hat persecution complex. It can’t be easy seeing enemies around every corner. I’ll tell you what helped me. It hit me like an epiphany. “No one was scrutizing or plotting against me. No one CARED enough to scrutinize or plot against me. They were too immersed in their own paranoia and thinking about themselves. That was such an incredibly freeing moment for me. Think about it.

  11.  @LionIron447  It’s not for me to apologize as I wasn’t there. I do acknowledge and feel for your ANCESTORS. For you, who didn’t suffer, not so much.

  12.  @LionIron447  Hold your breath til you get it.

  13. Maybe that’s because Tulsa wasn’t a massacre. It was a race war with ample killing on both sides.

  14.  @karentracey8917  “He that lives by the sword shall die by the sword.” Is that what you’re referring to? Ok. Then See Sacramento. See Brooklyn Subway. See Chicago. See Minneapolis. Shall I go on? Couldn’t agree more. But you do realize it decimates your argument and every single one of the BLM poster cases.

  15.  @afrotrooptv  Great idea. If you like living under Marshall law.

  16. Well……there is your answer.

  17.  @LionIron447  Nothing is owed dear. But it’s there for the taking if you work for it.

  18.  @teriprice6214  Coming for it? At 13% of the population? That will be a neat trick.

  19. Enslave who? You mean the criminals? What else do you want to do with them?

  20.  @thedarkgoddess5274  Let’s drop the nonsense all together.

  21.  @igivelzzzzzzzz2177  How incredibly myopic of you. Democracy itself may very well be on the line in the Ukraine. (You might want to research the bigger picture.) And am I to understand that because you can’t comprehend something or don’t want to, that makes it untrue?
    2
  22.  @spadesmaster2153  How do you close the wealth gap? EXCELL!!!!
    2
  23. But you weren’t “enslaved” in this country. You were enslaved on the African continent by victorious African tribes and the sold. You’ll have to trace your tribal roots and go after the Africans.
    2
  24.  @yusefbrooks8584  My point was they were first enslaved in Africa and then sold to Europeans. It was Africans who enslaved Africans.
    2
  25.  @yusefbrooks8584  You mean wages minus room and board of course. As for “inheritance”, what inheritance are you referring too?
    2
  26.  @afrotrooptv  O….K…….Good luck with that!

  27.  @magneticallah1057  Wrong word.

  28.  @lorebay2593  I wish people would STOP using the buzz phrase “generational wealth.” It is a concept that probably applies today to about 1-5 % of the population. Today children are having to support their aging parents along with their own children. Plus, now that humans are living considerably longer than in the past, vast amounts of money will be spent on keeping old people alive regardless of the quality of life. Did you know that it’s estimated something like 80% of a persons medical expenditures during their lifetime will be spent during the last 3-5 years of life. When you consider something like 70% of this country lives paycheck to paycheck, “generational wealth” is not a viable expectation for anyone.

  29. I believe you owe yourselves much more.

  30. How do you figure that one?
    2
  31. You object to others being as entitled and greedy as you?

  32.  @selfmade3736  It’s not that people don’t want you to have it. It’s that it’s not owed.

  33.  @KevinGloverpost24  Oh and the house taking question - ironically, I am going through an equivalent situation RIGHT NOW! Does it suck? ABSOLUTELY! Is it fair? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Is it right? HELL NO!!! Am I doing everything I can to educate myself enough to defeat the culprits in the game? YES! Do I struggle against literally wishing ill on the culprits? EVERYDAY! Is it very possible the culprits will get away with it no matter what I do? YES! I hate to tell you this, but this kind of shit happens to lots of people no matter the color. But there are 2 things I’ve learned: 1) There are no guarantees or promises coming into this life. You get what you get and that’s it, and 2). If you spend this life focusing on what you didn’t get instead of what you did, you will waste your time on this earth struggling to lug the chains of hate, resentment, and self-pity around with you. Take who you are and what you DID get and make the absolute most of it!! Remember, LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE!!!!!

  34. Threatening?? I just said no one is out to get you! Paranoid much??
    2
  35.  @fredrickprice2037  YOU need to fix economic inequality. I hate to tell you this but there is a very strong black middle class. That means the “systemic racism” you speak of didn’t effect or stop them. How do you reason with that? Life is not usually “fair” for anyone. The point is do you overcome that obstacle and succeed anyway?Many black Americans have.
    2
  36.  @fredrickprice2037  The point is the government has already paid it. Move forward.

  37.  @fredrickprice2037  EXACTLY!!!! By Jove I think he’s got it!

  38. Nice pipe dream, but wholly unrealistic.

  39.  @freepapuatv9268  The reports of planes being used are sketchy. You do realize that the airplane had just been invented, right? The Wright bros first kitty hall flights weren’t until 1903. These couldn’t have been “bombs” as we know them today. More like 1/2 full liquor bottles lit and dropped by hand.
    2
  40.  @freepapuatv9268  But there HAD NEVER BEEN bombs dropping from planes yet as you understand it. There was also no tv yet and radio was JUST beginning. There was no mass communication yet. Imagine that for a minute. People got news in print or by word of mouth. Hell, the automobile was just beginning a commercial market. Only about 10% of the population in the US had a car and we’re talking Oklahoma, which still resembled the wild Wild West you see on tv today. YOU MUST PUT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION YOU’RE GETTING IN THE CONTEXT OF IT’S TIME or you can not really understand it.

  41.  @freepapuatv9268  I’M in denial??? Right…..!

  42.  @freepapuatv9268  Answering my own questions?? I haven’t asked any questions.

  45.  @thedarkgoddess5274  Indigenous to where?
    1
  46.  @Ty-ib4rt  No need. You are preaching to the choir here. I have said many times. I would estimate 1/2 of the black Americans in this country have done as well as any of us. The other half seem to be the ones demanding reparations, but it’s a hollow argument. I’ll have you know the oligarchs, or the 2%ers, the billionaires are well represented by all races. The past certainly didn’t hold them back.
    1
  47.  @Ty-ib4rt  I think the “bad thing msg” you refer to are actually forms of self-pity, which will NEVER set anyone free. Your thoughts?
    1
  48.  @spadesmaster2153  Exactly. What’s your point?
    1
  49.  @spadesmaster2153  Then what should I tell them to do? It’s what I was told, what the majority of successful people in this country were told. What would you like me to tell them? It’s the truth. I don’t know where you get your statistics, but you are wrong. As I said before, about 1/2 of black Americans in this country are doing as well as anyone else and they are well represented in the upper echelon. Now that’s a poser, isn’t it? How do you explain that? How did they escape “the freaking poor house” and the mysterious policies to keep blacks poor? It does indeed “Take Money to Make Money.” So make some money! I’m gonna take a wild guess that you are under the age of 30. Please don’t waste opportunity and youth waiting for a personal check that will never come. Figure out what you want and get it done!
    1
  50.  @spadesmaster2153  Sorry to disappoint. No “vitriol or heat” here. Just the truth….for EVERYONE! Not just you. But if you want to see ugliness and persecution, you will see it. I just hope you figure it out before it’s too late to get anything going for yourself. It gets a lot harder the older you get. But it’s your choice. I wish you the best of luck.
    1
  51.  @spadesmaster2153  Well that’s WRONG! I hate to tell you this but you guys have been sticking it to us women from the beginning. Don’t you see that women have been fighting against bigotry, for freedom, justice and equality just as you have? Remember, you all thought we were too stupid to vote less than 100 years ago and women still don’t get paid the same as their male counterparts.
    1
  52.  @sageex3931  Well Tulsa burned down 1) because of the race riot and 2) because of the materials they used to build it. They say it went up like a tinderbox. In fact there were building regulations put in place thereafter.
    1
  53.  @sageex3931  BTW, what stopped you all these years?

  54.  @sageex3931  Got no money from whom?

  55. Stop saying “free labor.” It was hardly “free.”

  56. Really? How do you figure that?

  57.  @chubbjack158  Ummm I think you are referring to the indigenous population in the Americas who are typically considered of Indian descent, not African.
    1
  58.  @chubbjack158  Correct. From southeast ASIA not Africa.
    1
  59.  @chubbjack158  Ok. Sorry, I misunderstood. But why then do you call native Americans, “African Americans”?

  60. Or extortion would work too.

  63.  @yusefbrooks8584  Over a century and a half ago.

  64.  @yusefbrooks8584  Those wages would have been not much more than room and board, as it was in the industrialized north. All the value they produced? Picking Cotton? Your kidding. But nice to know you think the undocumented farm workers in the country who pick fruits and vegetables should be making 50 times AT LEAST more than they get!

  65. Great idea…….or else what??

  66.  @bonchidude  Reparations to the Jews following WWII were paid by GERMANY. And their situation was apples and oranges to slavery in the US.

  67.  @TamaraGarrettAlpha  Not at all. Are you feeling entitled in making the comment?
    1
  68.  @freepapuatv9268  huh?

  69.  @TamaraGarrettAlpha  Really? What language was that? Isn’t that a shame. Well no one gets what they want and not what they don’t want, all the time, do they?

  70.  @TamaraGarrettAlpha  I think it’s already been done.

  71. And that would be a REALLY neat trick at just 13% of the population.

  72.  @Dvco33333  Let’s face it, he junked integrity…..period. We watched him do it and did nothing to stop it. Now the floodgates of dirty politics, cheating one another (not to mention blowing each other’s heads off), and demanding special treatment for doing nothing. Is that what you want? To destroy this country? Really? Where would that leave you?

  73. But it should tell you something.

  74.  @sjonail  Then you know…..we are ALL screwed!
    1
  75.  @KevinGloverpost24 How is it not greed? You are asking money be taken from others and given to you because of what someone else suffered a long time ago. That’s not greed? To boot, you personally don’t think you have to do anything for the money but people who earned it and did nothing to you should have to sacrifice to hand it to you? Looks like a duck, acts like a duck……..
    1
  76.  @KevinGloverpost24  Oh I see the issue. What I don’t understand is where the entitlement to it comes from. I mean, everyone would like a windfall for doing nothing, but most people get that just ain’t going to happen. You would feel good taking money today from other people’s earnings on the basis of 1) what someone else suffered 150+ years ago and 2) a pipe dream about what MIGHT have happened IF things had been different? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?
    1
  77.  @KevinGloverpost24  Well, I would say anyone who EXPECTS a windfall at others expense for doing nothing would be a partial definition.
    1
  78.  @KevinGloverpost24  Who knows?! That would be a whole other sh#%>tshow deciding who gets what.

  79.  @KevinGloverpost24  “It was given”? What was given that was taken away?
    1
  80.  @KevinGloverpost24  My problem with the “collective” is I suppose a lack of common understanding of not only the reasons driving the collective but the means of accomplishing the collective’s objection. Just my opinion, but the “collective” seems all over the place with no unity in voice or plan. I’m not sure inflaming the passions of a group who lack a clear understanding of the issues is such a good idea. Look at Trump supporters to see potential results. Do we need a better example than the face-painted, bearskin wearing, horned-hat donning fools who stormed the capital at the behest of a psychotic egomaniac? I think the so-called “race hustlers” are no better. Your approach is entirely sane and rational, but are you confidant of that throughout the “collective”?

  81.  @KevinGloverpost24  Not to mention there are a host of complexities in figuring out the form of distribution (who,where,what,why) even if money were allocated for it that appear insurmountable.

  82.  @KevinGloverpost24  Really? Who gets how much and why?

  85.  @fredrickprice2037  Systemic Oppression?? This country has bent over backwards to make up for the past. You can’t MAKE someone take advantage of opportunity. I get you’d rather have it handed to you, but that ain’t the way it works. As for being lied to, I’m not sure what to mean. Especially since we have ALL been lied to about many things.

  88.  @fredrickprice2037  What about the killing of innocent black people by black people? Have you seen the war zone that is Chicago today?

  89. Oh well that’s an easy one. The government DOESNT owe you anything.

  90. Please, name something you “built” that was “taken away”. Don’t forget, THIS is they country everyone wants to live in.

  91. That’s because THEY demand the distinction.

  92.  @msmithivh1  Say what???
    1
  93. Right. Hold your breath. It takes so little to demand something for nothing.
    1
  94. That’s because it wasn’t a massacre. It was a race riot with killing on both sides. The structures burned because of their wood construction which prompted new building regulations to prevent it from happening again.

  95.  @freepapuatv9268  Do you know Marc Hill?

  96. “Distribution of power”??? You must be joking. Your BLM poster children are proof positive you all couldn’t handle power.
    1
  97. Good idea! Build up your own communities for a change. Everyone in this country, especially the government would love to see you take responsibility for your own lives instead of whining about what you’re owed because of what happened well over 100 years ago to someone else.

  98. What a shame. The tide is turning. Your 15 minutes have expired and all you’ve managed to do is indoctrinate your youth with fear and hate that is getting them killed. GOOD JOB!

  99.  @freepapuatv9268  It would be better to…..teach them golf? Seems to me it’s not what you or I want. It’s what they chose to do followed by the consequences of those actions that society (through elected officials) has deemed appropriate. I assume you have in mind the federal sentencing guidelines disparity between powder cocaine and crack. I don’t know how old you are, but if you weren’t around in the mid-80s when crack hit the streets, I gotta tell you, it took hold really fast and just devastated people’s lives. You would see some one in March, and by the next time you saw them in May, they would hardly be recognizable. Had lost everything, we’re homeless, like walking zombies. Not. To mention it turned street violence way up. In response, they upped the ante for traffickers. Dumb idea, but they were trying to curtail the spread of it. Had you been faced with deciding what to do, what would you have done yourself about the explosion of crack?
