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):

similar to the famed “war on boys”....a bunch of crap....
Christians are owed reparations for what the Romans did to Jesus. Jews are owed reparations for what Germans did during the Holocaust. Muslims owe reparations to everyone and thier dog (yes, the dog too) for the utter misery they cause simply by existing. Shall we go on?
bump for later
No, there isn’t, you’re right.
When you structure a society on theft, it will never prosper. And D’Souza pointed out in his new movie that ALL crime is essentially theft.
My son, a budding historian, says there are two groups of people in the world: makers and takers. Makers build societies and civilizations; takers eventually destroy it.
“Without the white man to give them everything they have, they would starve to death in a matter of months.”
Enough of your racist drivel. It is a stain on Free Republic.
I am so sorry that facts upset you so much.
I suppose Ethiopia, Rwanda, Zimbonwe and others are major food EXPORTERS on your planet.
I also imagine that Blacks do not make up the overwhelming majority of multi-generation receptients of food stamps, free housing and welfare; while simultaneously NOT being the major contributors of crime, drugs, single motherhood and violence.
These are FACTS. I wish more than anything that these facts didn’t tie themselves with such certainty to race. But to deny them is to be delusional.
My mom used to tell me when I was a child that life is not fair, get used to it.
That’s what I was thinking.
“Without the white man to give them everything they have, they would starve to death in a matter of months.”
Weeks...
Hey, Black People: YOU FIRST!!! No one is trying to kill you!
Blacks kill far more blacks than all other sources of deaths combined!

That’s Fk’d UP!
Your comments display the thoughts of someone who believes in white supremacy; a sick ideology.
A belief system that has no place on a conservative, God fearing website.
God made everyone; even you.
