Obama was the wake-up call. And people were questioning it back then. Maybe just not you.
And Jamaican is a nationality, not a race. Is Sean Paul black?????????????? I know you won't address that question. Y'all never do. Not even the Jamaican and other West Indian tethers on the board will answer that question:
And then Obama got elected and people STOPPED questioning it. It was just a diversion for the election. Same with Kamala.... While she has engaged and immersed herself in African American culture I dont think she's ever identified as A descendant of American slaves like Black Americans. why is that a problem??
Let Sean Paul say it himself:
VIBE: I don’t think a lot of people understand how ethnically and racially diverse Jamaica is so that a person like Sean Paul is not so uncommon. I think it’s important to shed some light on this because it’s a part of the culture and history. My understanding is your father is half Jewish, half Afro Jamaican, and your mother is half white English, half Chinese Jamaican. Can you please set the record straight?
Sean Paul: Yeah. My dad’s mom is mixed with Jamaican African, or
I say Black people, and also white people. [As a child,] I said to him, “Dad, where do we come from?” He said [Henriques] was a Portuguese name, and we came on the ship with Columbus. They were horse thieves and got in trouble with Columbus. They were shipwrecked and stayed in Jamaica like, “We ain’t leaving.” And that’s 400 years of history.
We used to have jokes as kids, and people were like, “What
are you?” And we used to say,
“We are mongrel. Mix up.” When I look back, growing up sometimes people would cuss like, “
Those people.” And I’m like, “But that’s my grandma.” And then other people would say, “
Those people.” I’m like, “But that’s my uncs [uncle].”
There’s no way to put me in a box in that respect. Yes, some of our ancestors were slaves, some were slave drivers. But for me, I think, the type of person I am, I kind of encompass what Jamaica is—out of many, one people.

any issue you have with that statement....take up with him.
So as long as Biden or any other Dem proposes a "comprehensive" plan that they have no intentions of implementing and you have no intentions of even investigating if they did, you're happy with that? Aren't you Mr "Realism" who thinks reparations is a pipe dream that can realistically be accomplished??????
Did Biden carry out his Lift Every Voice plan or not? Should be a simple YES or NO answer.
short answer yes.
As our report makes clear, that commitment has resulted in meaningful policy changes for Black Americans across economic opportunity, education, health care, criminal justice, housing, the environment, and civil rights protections.
Candidate Biden promised to invest in Black America and improve the economy. When President Biden took office, the unemployment rate was 6.3%. Today, it’s 3.7%. The Black unemployment rate was 9.2%. Today, it’s 5.3%.
Candidate Biden promised a cabinet and senior staff that reflects the soul of America. The Biden White House is the most diverse in American history, with nearly 50% of current appointees identifying as people of color. Most notably, his Vice President is the first Black woman in history to hold the office, and he appointed – as promised – the first Black woman Supreme Court Justice.
Candidate Biden promised to expand health care access. Under the Biden Administration, the Affordable Care Act has flourished. In the most recent enrollment period, more than 20 million Americans have signed up for plans, a record-breaking eight million more enrollments than previously recorded.
Parts of President Biden’s equity agenda, unfortunately, have been blocked by Congress and an ultra-conservative Supreme Court.
