Yes, you will, and you do.

You either had slaveownership in your family which trickled down in terms of wealth and/or education, or your people came here after the fact to piggyback on that wealth and subsist on the policies other white people used to enrich themselves at our (and natives’) expense. So kiss my ass with

I know, right? Biggest copout, ever. Nobody in this country agrees on everything. We’re going to get these people to agree on a fundamental truth that’s uncomfortable and requires money? YEAH RIGHT.

You sound lost. He wasn’t strong. Saying he should pivot sounds like you care more about his tone than about his answer, which to me suggests you either aren’t black, aren’t concerned, or maybe just naive. Beto is dead in the water. Buttigieg will definitely fall off, and Biden may or may not remember that he’s not

Yeah, I would never trust somebody who pushes reparations as part of a suit of programs or practices government should be doing for its citizens, anyway. Reparations is specifically to address slavery, so land and cash money. All of the rest of it is BS.

It can happen if Dems win enough seats. The problem is, Dems never show any promise when they actually do win, so people get angry and don’t show up again in some places.

See that’s the thing. These Democrats keep giving these a-holes the benefit of a doubt that they’ve never earned.

Why is it that every generation, white people forget about all of the bad shit they’ve done and continue to

20 years? It should be no taxes for life, to be honest, since they already got more than what they deserve. That would be the fairest besides everything else you said. And also, the cops lose their job and pension if they harm you or yours.

And on top of that, you have guys like Bernie (and now many of the Democrats, at least some liberals) who say they are for Medicare-for-all, $15/hr min. wage, free college, and all of that, but when it comes to this, all of a sudden it’s like, well, we have to talk about it, create a commission to study it, send it

I’ll tell you what, if you waited for a consensus from the American public, you would never have had the end of slavery. Nor Civil Rights Act or Voting Rights Act. Hate Crimes legislation. You see we can’t get anything done on police brutality because white people are alright with it happening to people of color,
