Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, May 26, 2023

Conservatives are telling Black Americans not to believe Democrats promising them reparations, but that they are being manipulated in a "cynical bait and switch" for votes. "I would tell every Black American who believes that the Democrats will come up with a policy that will solve all their problems, and that money will solve all of their problems, to dig into the history," former Princeton professor, Dr. Carol Swain, told Fox News Digital. "Look at the people who are making those promises. Have they come through in the past? Why do you believe them now?"

What you have working against you is the obvious fact that the GOP is now knuckle-dragging fascists with all that implies in regard to race.

Black conservatives can see through Democrat B.S.

Any of the GOP's ample B.S. they can see through? Or is that a bridge too far because there is no there there?

Who is promising reparations?

The made up stuff you post, Boaz...

But go on with the 12 black Republicans in this country.

The majority of Democrats aren't in favor of reparations.

A political party pandering for votes? Shocking?

Oh, and whores like Clarence Thomas already got paid. What do they need reparations for?

"Who is promising reparations?"

California is talking about it but they aren't promising anything.

I doubt it will ever go anywhere. The Governor certainly is NOT on board with it.

The lily white racist and fascist white guy still pretending to be black? Give it up comrade Boazo, you ain't fooling anyone.

Reparations. Another wedge issue that has absolutely no chance of gaining traction, that Republicans love to use to stir up the mouth breathers. I'm surprised that 26 conservative States haven't already passed laws against it.

Reparations is doable if presented in the right light.

Putting millions of dollars in the hands of people is not going to work and everyone can see that.

@#11 ... Reparations is doable if presented in the right light. ...

And what is that "right light" such that reparations are doable, in your view?

Anything that enhances "opportunity".

A G.I. bill copy housing lending plan. Where black residents are offered housing loans with low credit check but financial qualifications.
A pause on foreign applications to ivy league schools and put black qualified students in those slots paid for by the United States for the next 100 years.
Paid college for blacks, 4 year institutions for the next 100 years.
$50K one time grant for black Americans to start a business.

This gives opportunity, which was taking from black by Jim Crow and institutional racism.

If we as blacks take advantage of this, we can dispel lots of stereotypes.

So. a more affirmative action approach?

No,

Affirmative action hires just because you are black.

These plans give blacks a chance to prove themselves and prepare to operate as an American and assimilate into the culture.

Really?

Got any evidence of that?

LOL, are you kidding?
