You're absolutely correct. In fact, the example you site is just the most blatant attempt to villainize social consciousness in favor of willful ignorance and indifference.
I have an idea for a TV show, with an investigative journalism style that focuses on these exact types of events. We need one that highlights the historical, cruel, passionate animosity vast segments of american society has toward its black citizens. It wouldn’t be typically entertaining but it would be deeply insightful/educational and would go a long way toward making a case for reparations. Imagine if everyone could tune in every thursday at 8pm to hear another episode or argument for why they still owe us. I can’t believe BET hasn’t already done this, so I’m trying to market it to them right now. Anyone know Tyler Perry’s phone number?
how the fuck could those skills be applied for their benefit when the
slave owner owns everything the slave produces including off-spring
fucking crackers
BREAKING: Major government ethics watchdog demand that Donald Trump be immediately “disqualified from holding any public office, including the Office of the President, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
But it gets even WORSE for Trump…
The watchdog, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), issued a blistering official statement explaining their demand that reads as follows: “On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump took the oath of office, swearing to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,'” CREW wrote on its website in a preview of its nearly 90-page report.
“Almost four years to the day after taking that oath, on January 6, 2021, Trump caused a violent insurrection that nearly overthrew an election and shattered our democracy. The January 6 insurrection es the culmination of a multi-part scheme by Trump and his allies to use lies, intimidation, coercion and ultimately violence to keep Trump in office. Donald Trump is the living embodiment of the threat that the Fourteenth Amendment’s framers sought to protect American democracy against when they barred constitutional oath-breakers from office.
The 14th Amendment does not require a criminal conviction for disqualification. Significant evidence demonstrates that Trump voluntarily aided the January 6th insurrection through numerous overt acts and words in furtherance of the insurrection, even spreading theories of a ‘stolen’ and rigged’ election, pressuring state election administration officials, state and federal lawmakers and Vice President Pence to overturn the election results and weaponizing his Justice Department to do the same.
When his extra-legal attempts to overturn the election failed, he resorted to inciting violence. Trump assembled and later sent the mob to stop, by force, Congress and the Vice President from fulfilling their constitutional obligations under the Twelfth Amendment and the Electoral Count Act to certify the election results of the 2020 presidential election. And the mob did just that.
President Trump violated his constitutional duties on January 6, failing to act for 187 minutes, watching the attack unfold on television. The risk of a repeat or escalation of January 6th poses such an existential threat to our democracy that it demands the use of all available legal tools to prevent it. Donald Trump is neither above the law, nor is he above democracy.
Overwhelming evidence establishes that President Trump was the central cause of and a participant in the insurrection. Because of that, Trump is disqualified from holding any public office, including the Office of the President, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
and in return for giving them their puppet?
What has Hakeem done to earn the puppet title?

answer the question before asking another one
I don't believe he would be one, hence my question. I figured he must have said or did something I wasn't aware of, but it seems you are just being a negative Nancy for shits and giggles and have no real analysis or insight to offer for consideration in regard to the situation. Carry on...
any politician by default is a puppet for the party they represent. that is not even up for debate. if you can't acknowledge this, then I have to question your intelligence to even have a debate.
I think you know this. Call it a representative if it makes you feel better. Personally, I think you are just avoiding the question.
What do black folks get in return for putting him in office? Do they not care to help us unless we elect him?
He is already in office and has done work for preventing excessive force and other things. He has had speeches highlighted on BGOL in the past. The article is about electing other dems to take back the majority in order to allow him to become speaker.
Since the option is dem or GOP control of the house, currently the GOP has the house. What have they done or what plans have they announced that will benefit black people?
you didn't answer the question. How does helping him get a new position do anything for black people? Be specific.
