Reparations means: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE of the Presidential Elections

I sit here watching the Democratic Pandering at Howard University. I love this, because most of the questions are specifically pertinent (to be redundant) to the Black community. If you listen to all of the candidates (except former Senator Gravel and maybe Senator Biden) you would think that they all care about the Black community.

Yet, how many of them speak up and out now?

We hear them speaking very eloquently about what needs to be done (to resounding applause). Yet, I do not hear them saying anything on the Senate (or House) floor. Have you heard Hilary speaking about the disparities of race in this country? She spoke about the injustice of mandatory sentencing laws (which came into law under her husband), yet has she ever been arrested in protest of the sentences for any of the inner city children for which she cares so dearly?

Reparations means: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!

Every election year the Democrats run to the Black community to show their "compassion." And, every election year we jump on their band-wagon and usher them into office, only to be jaded and jilted. For some reason we refuse to hold these tricksters accountable.

Now, some will tell you they cannot speak out because they might loose their seats. But, if they cannot speak out for fear of loosing their seats what is the point of being in office?

We hear them speak about what they would do to stop the genocide in Darfur. Yet, they all have positions of stature. Only Senator Biden has actually done something. Even Barak (whose people are from similar tribes [if you know the tribal patterns of Ancient Nubia] as those who were being slaughtered. As Senator Gravel said, "none of the people on this stage have the moral judgment" to act.

We should all be tired of this charade. Reparations demands that we refuse to be hoodwinked and bamboozled. Reparations mandates that we realize: none of these candidates will do anything for the Black community - unless we force them so to do. And, we can only force them to act once we're activated.

Repair our nation! Come and get your REPARATIONS!
