Today "The Movement for Black Lives," a coalition "more than 50 organizations representing thousands of Black people from across the country" posted a 22 page list of "demands" in what they called "A Vision for Black Lives: Policy Demands for Black Power, Freedom and Justice."
The demands are fairly extensive and call for, among many other things, the following for Black people: free and open access to all public universities, retroactive forgiveness of all student loan debt, passage of H.R. 40 to study a "Reparation Proposal for African Americans," removal of police from schools, retroactive decriminalization and release of all people held on drug and prostitution-related offenses and a restructuring of local, state and federal tax codes to achieve a "radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth."
The policy demands were summarized as follows:
Together, we demand an end to the wars against Black people. We demand that the government repair the harms that have been done to Black communities in the form of reparations and targeted long-term investments. We also demand a defunding of the systems and institutions that criminalize and cage us. This document articulates our vision of a fundamentally different world.
This agenda continues the legacy of our ancestors who pushed for reparations, Black self-determination and community control; and also propels new iterations of movements such as efforts for reproductive justice, holistic healing and reconciliation, and ending violence against Black cis, queer, and trans people. A full list of the demands is presented below (and can be viewed here):

I’ll give you “reparations” - bend over.
Makes more sense to end the war on Crackas.
Easier to achieve that by Texit.
Let any and all current US citizens move to the new Republic of Texas...but the catch is NO WELFARE SYSTEM. And after a certain date you have to buy your way in.
Hard currency, low taxation, strong 2nd amendment.
Live under the US constitution with slight amending.
Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.
They will always have their hands outstretched to the adults who actually take responsibility for their own lives (paying taxes in the process); they are now unwanted stepchildren of the taxpayers...
Get off the ‘freebies’ and get a job; once you become a Father, stay around and help the kid grow up to be a man; shut your mouth until you have the education to talk right; get off the drugs, and the quit the killings....your the one that is WRONG...
GET OFF THE DAMN DEMOCRAT PLANTATION AND MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELVES!!!
Union generals wanted to know what Lincoln intended to do with the blacks that left the plantations and started following the Union armies; 150 years later and still no answer...
In a word. NO!
Do these people really believe they would have been better off if their ancestors had not been American slaves? Do they really think the average Western African nation is the ideal for a society?
OR WHAT!
legalized pimping, cocaine, and a study for cash handouts to decedents of people who may at one time been slaves. what a platform.
Current baby daddies won’t even pay for their own children.
“release of all people held on drug and prostitution-related offenses”
Iceberg Slim wrote in his 1960s autobiography, Pimp, that the secret to breaking a whores spirit of independence and willingness to fight back against abuse is to make her forget that slaves were ever emancipated. And liberals exhibit this power of thought control every day.
Is the knock-out game still a thing? It isn’t making the news cycle anymore.
Let’s buy them tickets to Hillary’s America. I’m very serious. If 10% of them realize who and what the Democrat party is, we could very well see some actual change.
“Do they really think the average Western African nation is the ideal for a society?”
If they did believe Africa was a better place, they would move there.
The war on black people is being waged by black people.
I say let every black person who wants reparations to put their names and addresses on a list. Don’t hide behind a phony organization name or a worthless acronym. Step up.
End the war on yourselves you idiots
LOL! Dat be da truf!
Those stupid naggers are so ignorant, they’d take a butter knife to a gunfight...
