What has Biden done and not done that we asked for specifically? We talk but we don't organization and petition. Then we just say no one is listening. People who organize make progress. He listed billions spent below and some black people got their share.

FACT SHEET: The Biden-⁠Harris Administration Advances Equity and Opportunity for Black People and Communities Across the Country

I’m at work but Googled “Biden reparations” and found a whole bunch of links about groups approaching Biden about Reparations month as ago. Including a group of Senators led by Booker urging him to push forward with it. It’s not that complicated and it’s not like he hasn’t heard of Reparations. It’s just that he knows that he doesn’t have to address our needs for our support.

Reparations is a VERY FAIR question of Kemp since he spent the 11th hour of his campaign doing photo-ops with Black business owners. Why should any GOP candidate, particularly the ones who approach Black potential voters, be left of the hook? Especially considering that reparations legislation would need to get past both chambers of Congress (House and Senate) before it lands on a President's desk for signature. And that's after it is successfully lobbied

Asking a random Democrat Candidate about reparations for social media LIKES / GRIFT or doing paid assignments ("blacks for Trump") from MAGA SuperPACs seeking "gotcha moments" aint legitimate lobbying.
Say it again louder for the people in the back.

Couldn't have said it better. Plus if any reparations are going to get passed, both parties need to be in agreement. Thinking just a black candidate is going to get something pass is a fucking pipe dreams. You will need CAC support.

That's related to the S40 bill he working on. He's asking Biden for an Executive Order to do a study on reparations. Doesn't seem like you're familar with any of this Bro. The President signs bills that make it to his desk. Cory is pushing it forward. What do you think Biden should do to help this?


U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) led a group of Senators urging President Biden to establish a Presidential Commission to study and issue proposals on a national apology and reparations for African Americans. The effort builds upon the lawmakers’ earlier work on S. 40, a bill that would establish a congressional commission for the study of reparations proposals that aims to study the impact of slavery and continuing discrimination against African Americans and will make recommendations on reparation proposals for the descendants of slaves.

Has anyone asked Kemp about Reparations???? Seems like Stacey or the black candidates are the only ones being asked. Why aren't we asking these CACS running for office about reparations...

Kemp’s family was the first to bring slaves into the state of Georgia.

The question isn’t Reparations, but what is Kemp doing to correct his family’s history.

And why hasn’t it been brought up in the campaign.

If you win the Govenors house and control the state houses, you run the table. It's as simple as that. Get out and vote and kick these folks out of office and you ain't gotta worry about them redistricting.

That’s the main issue in this country.

The average American is completely clueless on what their vote means and how it fits in with the bigger picture.

This is all by design.

They intentionally took out Civics courses in public schools starting in the 1980s during the Reagan administration.

Folks have no clue on how their vote is related from their local school board, State house, Congress, Courts and POTUS.

The fuck did the Democrats just let the Republicans redistrict and didn't even fight this shit?

They fought and they actually reversed most of the damage from the 2010 redistricting that virtually made it impossible for the GOP to lose the House, but Republicans are always one step ahead. With Trump, they were able to stack the courts all the way up to SCOTUS so now when they take over state legislatures, they will have the final say over who wins.
