Apparently VAiz4hustlaz is ignoring me and probably has me on ignore but this is an interesting line and its a shame that he's frustrated and afraid to expand on it in on the thread.
People wanna live in echo chambers of like minds and dont want to defend their positions and when they do its with insults and name calling and its a shame.
I looked at the green party platform much of it I agree with and I'd like to examine the feasibility and realities of their positions. I dont agree with the tactics and strategy being used but I have no problem hashing it out.
Too bad no one wants to do that.
To the Mod
Man while you were reporting that I had my foot on his neck for some sewing circle shit he posted. Ole racist gossiping ass ho spreading misinformation. He stay trying to ice skate uphill.
I don't have a problem with anyone talking any kinda shit on here, but the person can't be white on here calling us niggas.
I told him about it before but he didn't listen or learn.
He's been warned about that before. Cunts like him and @Entrepronegro don't have permission use the N word or any derision there of.
I agree 1000%!
on the issue of immigration the real issue boils down to who americans want to hire....if they want to hire immigrants (legal or otherwise) over American citizens no harsh immigration policy is going to stop that.
this is from 2019
President Donald Trump came far closer to closing the border than previously understood, ordering his top aides nearly two weeks ago to shut down a portion of the border with Mexico within 24 hours, ABC News has learned from two sources familiar with the matter.
The order came during a tense Oval Office meeting on March 28, just one day before the president publicly threatened to close the border the following week.
The president grew frustrated during the meeting, which ended with an order for the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to shut down a portion of the border the next day, with plans to possibly expand the closures, according to the sources.
The president's order sent White House aides scrambling to convince him not to close it, and that day they were able to convince him to keep the border open for a week so that the administration could craft an emergency plan.
The aides were successful. By Friday the president tweeted "If Mexico doesn't immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United State through our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week."
"The president was literally hours away from sealing the border last week. Hours. But he was persuaded to delay, which gave enough time to consider alternatives," a senior administration official familiar with the matter told ABC News. "It also allowed Pompeo and Nielsen to ratchet up the pressure on Mexico, which started taking tougher action, though they didn't publicize it."
The incident -- while the threat was never carried out -- demonstrates a penchant for making snap policy decisions that are a times at odds with the thinking of a majority of the administration.

the only time trump actually sealed the border was during covid
You're right, it doesn't start with presidential elections and we all do need to do a better job voting for all offices locally to make change in our areas first.
And nobody has our best interests except for us.
Lastly, I don't know what trump did for you but it sounds like he grabbed you by the pussy tight and never let go!
SMMFH… This the shit I’m talking about.
I’ve never voted for a single republikkkan president and never gave you a reason to assume that I did.
It’s like you niggas are slow or something.
Not voting is not voting. I hate both candidates.
Pretty sure I made that clear but yet I have to explain it once again

She's doing exactly what @God Dammit said. In those pics it's the equivalent of her eating at a famous Black restaurant to get their votes.
But in the case she doesn't have to eat anything. Just ride in a car, wave and sometimes put on a fancy jacket when it's windy.
So all she has to do is ride around and wave to get their vote.
It's not to make everyone gay like the simple minded are thinking. Just like she doesn't visit famous Black restaurants to get everyone to eat there.
They visit the famous Black restaurant because they think we’re all ignorant enough to believe that that’s all it takes for us to fall in love and vote for them.
How every politician see Black Americans:
Soul brotha #1: “Say Jack, You see (insert politician name here) eat at Gritz on the west side?”
Soul brotha #2: “I’s shole did cool breeze”.
Soul brotha #1: “I can jive with that!”
Soul brotha #2: “Oh yeah, me’s too brotha! I’s is voting for (insert politician name here)!”

The argument is I’m not voting for a piece of shit candidate. Instead of trying to turn the White House blue, you need to be turning your states blue by voting to get the right people in place to select the right candidates for president
All those state dems have pretty much 95-100% the same stances on the issues as Harris, so why would you vote for any of them if you hate her so much?
The political process is like making sausage. Once you've experienced the process of sausage being made, you will never want to eat sausage again. Furthermore, politicians are like diapers and should be changed often for the same reason.
With this being said, the best thing you can do is read (from reputable sources) what each candidate stands for, plans to change, if elected, and how those changes will impact you financially and mentally in the near and distant future. Keep in mind, there will be global and financial ramifications depending on the results of this election. As strong as America is, it needs to be in good standing with other global allies. Pissing off your once-allies can be a risky venture. Also keep in mind that there are situations that no president can prevent or control that will impact your financial bottom line. It's just the way of the world.
Regardless of your party affiliation, there's a whole lot of strategy games being played. After all, that is politics. However, just be prepared to accept and live with the actions of the candidate you voted for.

Cap.
Not every politician will publicly say they’re not doing anything to benefit just Black people and then turn around and do something that solely benefits Asians.
They need to put a real Black person as the primary. An FBA. Not a half white, half Kenyan, nor a 75% Indian 25% Jamaican.
We need an FBA

A silent protest means nothing. you can say that both sides are the same but one side is more malleable and workable even if its slight than the other side. Its why blacks are so frustrated with the democrats/liberals/progressives than we are with conservatives.
You dont get angry with someone you KNOW you cant work with. ANY progress for the black agenda in any capacity is going to come from the left. Thats just the reality.
Unfortunately we live in a 2 party system and in order to get ANYTHING done legislatively there needs to be consensus between the parties. Both sides need to get enough votes and support to get anything done long term.
Between the republicans and democrats which side do you think would garner ANY positive votes for anything on the list below....
This is whats on the Green Party platform.
We support the following initial steps, aligning with the Black agenda:
- Establish a reparations’ trust fund financed by recovered wealth and other profits accumulated from the slave trade. Funds will be sourced from recovered wealth amassed by slave trade beneficiaries, corporations that profited from racial exploitation, and potential taxes on wealth accumulated through historical systemic disparities. Descendants of enslaved Africans, through their chosen representatives and organizations, will have a central role in shaping the calculation, distribution, and use of the reparations trust fund.
- We recognize that money is the governing factor and that our privately owned debt-based financial system is rooted in the exploitation of people and the planet. It has perpetuated the legacy of colonialism, slavery, and systemic discrimination. To achieve true equity and sustainability, we must fundamentally transform our nation’s current monetary system to a public asset-based system. This will enable our elected representatives to address all the economic injustices, including nurturing Black businesses, closing the racial wealth gap, providing crucial financial resources and support services directly to Black entrepreneurs and cooperatives, empowering us to thrive and contribute to the economic well-being of our communities.
- We recognize that full employment and a national minimum wage are essential to achieving both economic justice and environmental sustainability. We support prioritizing green jobs and investment in historically disadvantaged communities, alongside policies like worker cooperatives and a guaranteed minimum income funded by progressive taxation, to finally break the cycle of poverty and end environmental racism.
- Initiate the repeal of the slave clauses within the U.S. Constitution. They contribute to ongoing racial disparities, mass incarceration, and other injustices.
- Work to restore lands stolen from Black communities through various discriminatory practices like the Sharecropping system and land ownership restrictions that continue to impact Black farmers’ opportunities and success. We also demand access to safe, secure, and affordable housing – free from discriminatory practices like redlining and forced evictions. We support policies that empower us to plan and preserve our land or neighborhoods, prioritize community needs over large-scale displacement, and invest in culturally sensitive revitalization efforts.
- Support the release of all political prisoners held by the USA. We reject the authority of the U.S. State to imprison Black individuals whose imprisonment stems from their defense of Black people’s democratic and self-determination rights, regardless of the specific location or movement associated with their activities.
- Support existing Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Education and Development Funds.
- Take action to overcome the effects of over 200 years of racial discrimination, including ending official support for any remaining symbols of slavery, specifically call for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from all government buildings, and addressing issues like racial profiling, police brutality, voting rights, and access to language resources.
- We oppose discriminatory English-only pressure groups. We call for a national language policy that would encourage all citizens to be fluent in at least two languages.
- We strongly support the vigorous enforcement of civil-rights laws, the aggressive prosecution of hate crimes, and the strengthening of legal services for the poor, including:
- Black Women: We pledge full partnership with Black women as architects of our liberation, wielding power equally to build a world free from oppression.
- Self-Defense: When facing violence, the right to defend ourselves is intrinsic. While advocating peaceful solutions, we affirm self-defense as a tool for justice.
- Voting Rights: Winner-take-all denies true representation. We demand proportional voting systems that amplify Black voices, reflecting our diverse aspirations.
- Black Women: We pledge full partnership with Black women as architects of our liberation, wielding power equally to build a world free from oppression.

Descendants of enslaved Africans, through their chosen representatives and organizations, will have a central role in shaping the calculation, distribution, and use of the reparations trust fund.
MY understanding of american history and politics tells me that NO conservatives would agree to MOST if ANY of those demands listed whther you call those conservatives democrats in the 1800s to mid 20th century or republicans today. Almost ALL of the stuff on that list is a NONSTARTER for them.
SOME liberals and progressives would agree with SOME of demands on the list but they would look to water down the more strident demands. BUT they would calculate they wouldnt be able to garner enough support for it and they would be like
But you would get SOME votes on their side.So NOT voting for the side thats at least willing to table some of those issues...what does NOT voting for and working with that get you????
YOU DONT VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND THEY DONT CARE.
YOU DONT VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND THEY LOSE WHICH MEANS YOU DEAL WITH A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT ANYWAY WHO DOESNT CARE....
Why is that considered a smart strategy???
Neither side cares and in this case like he said the Indian women already said she isn't doing anything primarily for black folksA silent protest means nothing. you can say that both sides are the same but one side is more malleable and workable even if its slight than the other side.

Don't fall for the bullshit.
He NEVER responds accordingly when the faultiness of the arguments he regurgitates (he does not generate his own) are pointed out. This is because he is NOT here to engage in a real exchange of ideas.
He never supports the bullshit he puts out there.
He puts it out there to divide us.
I would not be surprised to find he is actually some Polish nazi sitting in Hamtramck somewhere, bouncing from platform to platform, under many names, promoting the same old bullshit.
You see this kind of thing on X every day.
Don't think for a moment that this forum is too small for them to pay attention to.
They know most of us here are Black.
They know most of us here are male.
Do the math.
Food for thought.
Cheers.
The sad part is that is all they have to do is give us policy specific to us and it would be a runaway victory.
But for some reason, they can’t and the shills still make excuses
Because if they do that they lose their white baseThe sad part is that is all they have to do is give us policy specific to us and it would be a runaway victory.

Black people need to stop giving their votes away for free.
Let the republikkkans win 20 times in a row, I don’t give a damn. As long as the demokkkrats know that they need our vote and they will do anything to receive our vote. Right now they still know that all they have to do is remind you all that they’re “less racist than the repubs” and you’re all in.
That’s not enough for me.

What policy was put forth that only benefits Asians? Post the text of the law that states it only benefits Asians.
Also this is stupid. There is not a single FBA in this country that don't have white or European in their background. 23 and Me tells you that.
Let me do this AGAIN.
Here is the text of the "Asian Crime Bill"
No where in there does it say it applies only to Asians. There is a note at the beginning pointing out some Asian hate crime numbers, but every single benefit in this bill applies equally to all races.
Public Law 117-13
117th Congress
An Act
To facilitate the expedited review of COVID-19 hate crimes, and for
other purposes. <<NOTE: May 20, 2021 - [S. 937]>>
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, <<NOTE: COVID-19 Hate
Crimes Act.>>
SECTION 1. <<NOTE: 34 USC 10101 note.>> SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act''.
SEC. 2. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Following the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, there has been
a dramatic increase in hate crimes and violence against Asian-
Americans and Pacific Islanders.
(2) According to a recent report, there were nearly 3,800
reported cases of anti-Asian discrimination and incidents
related to COVID-19 between March 19, 2020, and February 28,
2021, in all 50 States and the District of Columbia.
(3) During this time frame, race has been cited as the
primary reason for discrimination, making up over 90 percent of
incidents, and the United States condemns and denounces any and
all anti-Asian and Pacific Islander sentiment in any form.
(4) Roughly 36 percent of these incidents took place at a
business and more than 2,000,000 Asian-American businesses have
contributed to the diverse fabric of American life.
(5) More than 1,900,000 Asian-American and Pacific Islander
older adults, particularly those older adults who are recent
immigrants or have limited English proficiency, may face even
greater challenges in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic,
including discrimination, economic insecurity, and language
isolation.
(6) In the midst of this alarming surge in anti-Asian hate
crimes and incidents, a shooter murdered the following 8 people
in the Atlanta, Georgia region, 7 of whom were women and 6 of
whom were women of Asian descent: <<NOTE: Xiaojie Tan. Daoyou
Feng. Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez. Paul Andre Michels. Soon
Chung Park. Hyun Jung Grant. Suncha Kim. Yong Ae Yue.>>
(A) Xiaojie Tan.
(B) Daoyou Feng.
(C) Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez.
(D) Paul Andre Michels.
(E) Soon Chung Park.
(F) Hyun Jung Grant.
(G) Suncha Kim.
(H) Yong Ae Yue.
(7) The people of the United States will always remember the
victims of these shootings and stand in solidarity with
[[Page 135 STAT. 266]]
those affected by this senseless tragedy and incidents of hate
that have affected the Asian and Pacific Islander communities.
SEC. 3. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> REVIEW OF HATE CRIMES.
(a) <<NOTE: Deadline. Designation.>> In General.--Not later than 7
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall
designate an officer or employee of the Department of Justice whose
responsibility during the applicable period shall be to facilitate the
expedited review of hate crimes (as described in section 249 of title
18, United States Code) and reports of any such crime to Federal, State,
local, or Tribal law enforcement agencies.
(b) Applicable Period Defined.--In this section, the term
``applicable period'' means the period beginning on the date on which
the officer or employee is designated under subsection (a), and ending
on the date that is 1 year after the date on which the emergency period
described in subparagraph (B) of section 1135(g)(1) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5(g)(1)) ends, except that the Attorney
General may extend such period as appropriate.
SEC. 4. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> GUIDANCE.
(a) Guidance for Law Enforcement Agencies.--The Attorney General
shall issue guidance for State, local, and Tribal law enforcement
agencies, pursuant to this Act and other applicable law, on how to--
(1) establish online reporting of hate crimes or incidents,
and to have online reporting that is equally effective for
people with disabilities as for people without disabilities
available in multiple languages as determined by the Attorney
General;
(2) collect data disaggregated by the protected
characteristics described in section 249 of title 18, United
States Code; and
(3) expand public education campaigns aimed at raising
awareness of hate crimes and reaching victims, that are equally
effective for people with disabilities as for people without
disabilities.
(b) <<NOTE: Coordination.>> Guidance Relating to COVID-19
Pandemic.--The Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, in coordination with the COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force and
community-based organizations, shall issue guidance aimed at raising
awareness of hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SEC. 5. <<NOTE: Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National
Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to
Equality Act of 2021. 34 USC 30507.>> JABARA-
HEYER NO HATE ACT.
(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Khalid Jabara
and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to
Equality Act of 2021'' or the ``Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The incidence of violence known as hate crimes, or
crimes motivated by bias, poses a serious national problem.
(2) According to data obtained by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the incidence of such violence increased in 2019,
the most recent year for which data is available.
(3) In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act
(Public Law 101-275; 28 U.S.C. 534 note) to provide the Federal
Government, law enforcement agencies, and the public with data
regarding the incidence of hate crime. The Hate Crime Statistics
Act and the Matthew Shepard and James
[[Page 135 STAT. 267]]
Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (division E of Public Law
111-84; 123 Stat. 2835) have enabled Federal authorities to
understand and, where appropriate, investigate and prosecute
hate crimes.
(4) A more complete understanding of the national problem
posed by hate crime is in the public interest and supports the
Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence
referenced in section 249(b)(1)(C) of title 18, United States
Code.
(5) However, a complete understanding of the national
problem posed by hate crimes is hindered by incomplete data from
Federal, State, and local jurisdictions through the Uniform
Crime Reports program authorized under section 534 of title 28,
United States Code, and administered by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
(6) Multiple factors contribute to the provision of
inaccurate and incomplete data regarding the incidence of hate
crime through the Uniform Crime Reports program. A significant
contributing factor is the quality and quantity of training that
State and local law enforcement agencies receive on the
identification and reporting of suspected bias-motivated crimes.
(7) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is sufficiently
serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant
Federal financial assistance to States and local jurisdictions.
(8) Federal financial assistance with regard to certain

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY--S. 937
Here is the text of the "Asian Crime Bill"
No where in there does it say it applies only to Asians. There is a note at the beginning pointing out some Asian hate crime numbers, but every single benefit in this bill applies equally to all races.
Public Law 117-13
117th Congress
An Act
To facilitate the expedited review of COVID-19 hate crimes, and for
other purposes. <<NOTE: May 20, 2021 - [S. 937]>>
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled, <<NOTE: COVID-19 Hate
Crimes Act.>>
SECTION 1. <<NOTE: 34 USC 10101 note.>> SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act''.
SEC. 2. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Following the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, there has been
a dramatic increase in hate crimes and violence against Asian-
Americans and Pacific Islanders.
(2) According to a recent report, there were nearly 3,800
reported cases of anti-Asian discrimination and incidents
related to COVID-19 between March 19, 2020, and February 28,
2021, in all 50 States and the District of Columbia.
(3) During this time frame, race has been cited as the
primary reason for discrimination, making up over 90 percent of
incidents, and the United States condemns and denounces any and
all anti-Asian and Pacific Islander sentiment in any form.
(4) Roughly 36 percent of these incidents took place at a
business and more than 2,000,000 Asian-American businesses have
contributed to the diverse fabric of American life.
(5) More than 1,900,000 Asian-American and Pacific Islander
older adults, particularly those older adults who are recent
immigrants or have limited English proficiency, may face even
greater challenges in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic,
including discrimination, economic insecurity, and language
isolation.
(6) In the midst of this alarming surge in anti-Asian hate
crimes and incidents, a shooter murdered the following 8 people
in the Atlanta, Georgia region, 7 of whom were women and 6 of
whom were women of Asian descent: <<NOTE: Xiaojie Tan. Daoyou
Feng. Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez. Paul Andre Michels. Soon
Chung Park. Hyun Jung Grant. Suncha Kim. Yong Ae Yue.>>
(A) Xiaojie Tan.
(B) Daoyou Feng.
(C) Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez.
(D) Paul Andre Michels.
(E) Soon Chung Park.
(F) Hyun Jung Grant.
(G) Suncha Kim.
(H) Yong Ae Yue.
(7) The people of the United States will always remember the
victims of these shootings and stand in solidarity with
[[Page 135 STAT. 266]]
those affected by this senseless tragedy and incidents of hate
that have affected the Asian and Pacific Islander communities.
SEC. 3. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> REVIEW OF HATE CRIMES.
(a) <<NOTE: Deadline. Designation.>> In General.--Not later than 7
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall
designate an officer or employee of the Department of Justice whose
responsibility during the applicable period shall be to facilitate the
expedited review of hate crimes (as described in section 249 of title
18, United States Code) and reports of any such crime to Federal, State,
local, or Tribal law enforcement agencies.
(b) Applicable Period Defined.--In this section, the term
``applicable period'' means the period beginning on the date on which
the officer or employee is designated under subsection (a), and ending
on the date that is 1 year after the date on which the emergency period
described in subparagraph (B) of section 1135(g)(1) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5(g)(1)) ends, except that the Attorney
General may extend such period as appropriate.
SEC. 4. <<NOTE: 34 USC 30501 note.>> GUIDANCE.
(a) Guidance for Law Enforcement Agencies.--The Attorney General
shall issue guidance for State, local, and Tribal law enforcement
agencies, pursuant to this Act and other applicable law, on how to--
(1) establish online reporting of hate crimes or incidents,
and to have online reporting that is equally effective for
people with disabilities as for people without disabilities
available in multiple languages as determined by the Attorney
General;
(2) collect data disaggregated by the protected
characteristics described in section 249 of title 18, United
States Code; and
(3) expand public education campaigns aimed at raising
awareness of hate crimes and reaching victims, that are equally
effective for people with disabilities as for people without
disabilities.
(b) <<NOTE: Coordination.>> Guidance Relating to COVID-19
Pandemic.--The Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human
Services, in coordination with the COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force and
community-based organizations, shall issue guidance aimed at raising
awareness of hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
SEC. 5. <<NOTE: Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National
Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to
Equality Act of 2021. 34 USC 30507.>> JABARA-
HEYER NO HATE ACT.
(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Khalid Jabara
and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to
Equality Act of 2021'' or the ``Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The incidence of violence known as hate crimes, or
crimes motivated by bias, poses a serious national problem.
(2) According to data obtained by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the incidence of such violence increased in 2019,
the most recent year for which data is available.
(3) In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act
(Public Law 101-275; 28 U.S.C. 534 note) to provide the Federal
Government, law enforcement agencies, and the public with data
regarding the incidence of hate crime. The Hate Crime Statistics
Act and the Matthew Shepard and James
[[Page 135 STAT. 267]]
Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (division E of Public Law
111-84; 123 Stat. 2835) have enabled Federal authorities to
understand and, where appropriate, investigate and prosecute
hate crimes.
(4) A more complete understanding of the national problem
posed by hate crime is in the public interest and supports the
Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence
referenced in section 249(b)(1)(C) of title 18, United States
Code.
(5) However, a complete understanding of the national
problem posed by hate crimes is hindered by incomplete data from
Federal, State, and local jurisdictions through the Uniform
Crime Reports program authorized under section 534 of title 28,
United States Code, and administered by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
(6) Multiple factors contribute to the provision of
inaccurate and incomplete data regarding the incidence of hate
crime through the Uniform Crime Reports program. A significant
contributing factor is the quality and quantity of training that
State and local law enforcement agencies receive on the
identification and reporting of suspected bias-motivated crimes.
(7) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is sufficiently
serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant
Federal financial assistance to States and local jurisdictions.
(8) Federal financial assistance with regard to certain
violent crimes motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and
local authorities to work together as partners in the
investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
(c) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Hate crime.--The term ``hate crime'' means an act
described in section 245, 247, or 249 of title 18, United States
Code, or in section 901 of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (42
U.S.C. 3631).
(2) Priority agency.--The term ``priority agency'' means--
(A) a law enforcement agency of a unit of local

100,000, as computed by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation; or

government that--
(i) serves a population of not less than
50,000 and less than 100,000, as computed by the

Reports'' means the reports authorized under section 534 of
title 28, United States Code, and administered by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation that compile nationwide criminal
statistics for use--
(A) in law enforcement administration, operation,
and management; and
(B) to assess the nature and type of crime in the
United States.

There's never going to be a big a response to this
An in all those years thats happening how is the black agenda moving forward?
You can tell the people that get their political news on TikTok or on social media.
The sad part is that is all they have to do is give us policy specific to us and it would be a runaway victory.
But for some reason, they can’t and the shills still make excuses
Welcome to America but here's a question...what makes you think ALL or even some of the more strident demands made on behalf of all ADOS is agreed to by Black Americans?
What makes you think ALL or even a majority of black Americans want reparations? Or want to be classified a protected group?
These issues don't have majority consensus among all ADOS and certainly not on the left.
