The problem is that blacks are watching whites disappear, leaving them still on the bottom of the socio-economic ladder below the Asians and Hispanics replacing us. While whites have paid reparations for half a century now, blacks know they have no claim whatsoever to the wallets of these newcomers - who will soon be the majority here.

They be received reparations from Acorn and the banks and the govt over and over. How about they go to work. I would like to see them resettled into Africa. Deport the useful idiots.

We’ve been paying reparations for years. They’re called Food Stamps, free housing, free education, free health care, etc on the entitlement front and Affirmative Action on the enabler front.

This goes without saying but they are out of their everloving minds.

Just for thought, anyone or organization that capitalizes black and not white or any other demographic has shown their true “colors”.

Blacks also know that Hispanics will soon outnumber them, and they’ll have to get behind them in line for the gubbermint handouts.

Black vs. Hispanic is the fault line that will blow the Democrat Party WIDE open.

Hey, BLM, it’s been pointed out that hundreds of thousands of Union Soldiers have already PAID THE PRICE of your freedom, with their very lives.
Ever think that maybe YOU own THEM a little something, like your respect and thanks.

Given that we know the head of BLM was closely linked to the DNC, I discount everything they demand.

Hispanics were projected to pass blacks in numbers by 2010, and after the 2000 census our government admitted it had already happened; in classrooms and workplaces Hispanics have already completely displaced blacks as the “preferred minorities du jour”, and blacks know it. The government may admit 15% of the population today is Hispanic; my uninformed estimate is more like 25% - especially when you see classrooms and playgrounds. They are probably well over 50% of the under-20 demographic...

I would be for reparations if the “legacy of slavery” was declared over. If all special treatment and quotas would end it might be worth it.

The mission appears to be having blacks given the same status as American Indians (”wards of the state”), where they can waste away their lives at the taxpayers expense (if they so choose). Many already do, but they want it codified in law.

“A progressive restructuring of tax codes at the local, state, and federal levels to ensure a radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth.”

Sustainable redistribution??? Ha!

One thing not talked about in their demands is what percentage of ‘black’ does one need to be to qualify for all their demands? Is there a point where a person has too much ‘white’ in them to qualify? Idiots!

Someone needs to tell the racist and hateful group Black Lives Matter that when the Civil War started NOT ONE Republican owned a slave. The slaves were ALL owned by DEMOCRATS. They also need to know that Al Gore’s Democrat dad and the other Democrats voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Bill while Republicans voted for it. Get the message out!!!
