As I suspected, this organization appears to be an offshoot of some of the radical organizations of the 60's. Less about black lives mattering and more about the far left's quest to confiscate wealth and end, that's right END, capitalism. Global Warming, open borders, free college, free health care... it's all in there. A veritable "holy grail" of far left pipe dreams thinly veiled as having something to do with black people being shot by police.

Black lives matter.
I have no problem saying that as a stand-alone sentence with no qualifiers, addendums, or disclaimers. Black lives matter. However, the organization "Black Lives Matter" can get bent.

I decided to open Reparations first because I knew it just had to be good.
I love these gems:
Cover all living costs, including but not limited to housing, transportation, childcare, healthcare, and food for students attending public universities, colleges, and technical educational programs (including technology, trade, and agricultural).
This was a winner, too.
Provide full access to all undocumented people to state and federal programs that provide aid to cover the full costs, including living costs, to attend public universities, and colleges, technical educational programs, and lifelong learning programs.
Oh my ****ing God.
Stories of African American history are often left untold or are under-told, and many individuals have no understanding of the extraordinary sacrifices that were made and hardships that were overcome. We need cultural reparations to publically acknowledge the history of mass violence in the U.S. in order to begin to heal from the trauma.
You know, I started to look around the other links of "demands" and I need to take an Advil and some Pepto Bismol. And then get drunk as hell because I can't believe that **** is even in peoples' minds.

Sadly as we see another movement supposedly built to help one group ha morphed into an organization that wants to punish other groups and demands that the others pay for transgressions of past generations while forgetting that those past generations fought and died to give them their freedom. I do agree with on point, if they want Independent control over themselves then find someplace outside the borders on set them up, but since they are Independent they can pay their own way. Give Me, Give Me, Give Me seems to be their agenda, Not going to happen, no matter who is elected.As I suspected, this organization appears to be an offshoot of some of the radical organizations of the 60's.

When you spend your entire life blaming others for your problems, and building up (and having it reinforced to you) that you are entitled to others' stuff in recompense, this is what comes out
You do have to acknowledge some of those historic and systemic issues, all the same.
Nevertheless, when doing those sort of policy interventions, you seek to incentivize and reward desirable social behavior. In other words, if our societal goal is to have you as fiscally independent as possible, having a family, and so forth, you build your programs around that aspirational outcome. You don't "cripple" that by removing aspiration that was so heavily harped on by some of African Americans' best leaders: Booker T Washington, WEB Dubois, MLK, and so on. They wanted youth to be able to work hard and build their success, too.
WTH is "environmental racism" and "food apartheid"? I can figure out the rest of the idiocy but...WTH are those?

Food costs more in high-crime areas because stores have to account for additional security and the additional lost in their figures.
I stopped reading at the word patriarchy. I always stop reading at the word patriarchy. What patriarchy? You mean the patriarchy of FGM being banned but not MGM? You mean the patriarchy of women having parental choice, but not men? You mean the patriarchy of women getting special treatment in the work place? You mean the patriarchy of how family court treats men? You mean the patriarchy of a society where it is ok to hit men, but not women? You mean the patriarchy of men getting longer sentences than women for the same crimes? Should I go on about all this patriarchy found in society? Oh wait, nothing I just said deals with patriarchy. Go figure.
Not this reparations BS again.
There is no black person alive today who was ever a slave, so I have to ask:
Reparations for what?
Who would pay these reparations? Just the descendants of slave owners?
"End the war on black people" --- how about "end the war on crying racism and injustice immediately every time a black person is killed by a non-black person"?
