Oh Germ-X is gone? So THAT'S why I haven't been seeing his posts cluttering up the board lately....lol. Don't worry, he'll probably be back under another name. I think it's the same one or two people trolling over and over again under different names. Every couple months another one pops up posting the exact same shit.

ProfD Correct. Ideally, the federal government should be making reparation payments because it collects money from every state all of whom benefitted from slavery in one way or another. Until the Feds actually get involved, I'm not going to take any TALK of Reparations from a state level seriously. The only time I'd take them serious is when they actually start sending out checks to their AfroAmerican residents, which I doubt will happen anytime soon. The Californiia reparations bill was really just an exercise Yes. An exercise in mass hysteria and mind control....lol. Troy when I was a kid, I saw white boys coming to college with new cars, getting married and having lavish weddings paid for by their parents, having their parents give them a down payment on a nice house or buying it out right for them. I’ve always wondered how they were able to pull that off? Remember a few years ago we were joking about if you identified as a White person on your census form or something....you'd get a "special package" in the mail with access to bank accounts, underground shopping malls, and grocery stores with good foods at low prices, etc....lol. I'm almost certain that among some privileged White elites....what I just described isn't too far off the mark. When you hear about how white folks were given 160 acres of land, and how wealth has transferred through the generations. The opportunity for the generational wealth that was denied Black people is really what this is all about. They should’ve just given us those damn 40 acres and we wouldn’t be having to deal with this today. Well, to keep it real WE TOO had a lot of land. More than just 40 acres a piece but MILLIONS of acres..... And we kept it from Reconstruction right up to the 1920s and 1930s before a lot of our people decided to SELL the land and move up to big northern cities thinking they could get out of having to farm and maintain it. If we had more unity and vision, we could have built more of our own cities ON those lands instead of selling them off just to get some cash in our pockets. We definitely need Reparations but we as a community we need some sound financial counseling to ago along with it. this needs to be federal legislation. 100% They are the only institution in the U.S. with enough money to accurately compensate us. A $50,000 check to every Black person in California is NOT Reparations. We are owed MILLIONS per individual...for generations to come.....along with free healthcare, land, and other benefits that only the Federal government can provide. @richardmurray Well can we atleast agree that the Federal Government can TAKE THE LEAD in Reparations? And after they make their move, each state can follow suit in any Reparations deal we make with them individually.

You bring up an excellent point. This is one of the reasons I'm no longer religious. I now look at things from a LOGICAL point of view...... Being the most Powerful BEING in all of Existence.....if The SUPREME BEING wants me to know a particular thing then I WILL know it and don't necessarily need to get it from a book (although I can). And no one can stop me from knowing it. So to run around looking for "hidden" and "missing" and "lost" books is too often a waste of valuable time and effort. White folks aren't more powerful than God, so they can't "hide" anything God wants you to have. If White folks or anyone else were able to hide it from you......then logically speaking that means God didn't intend for you to have it...for whatever reason.

Facts. I'm a huge proponent of our people being self-sufficient in all areas. Black folks shouldn't be waiting on white folks or Jesus which are one and the same.😁😎
