The Democratic Party and progressive movement legitimately owe black Americans reparations, and everyone knows it.
Leftists convinced black people that the U.S. government was a proper substitute for and better caretaker than God and the truths spelled out in the Bible. Progressives bribed black women into believing that feminism, sexual liberation, and the matriarchy were superior to marriage, sexual modesty, and the patriarchy.
The consequences of progressive lies are now painfully obvious among the voting bloc most closely aligned with the Democratic Party. The black family has been destroyed. Black men have been emasculated and run out of leadership and the workplace. Black people, the lab rats of the progressive movement, have been injected with a mindset of victimhood and entitlement, a mental cancer that leads to failure.
Leftists recognize that beginning in the 1960s, they conducted a political version of the Tuskegee Experiment. They introduced a mind virus to the black community. They removed legitimate religious faith and established themselves as the god of black people, the controllers of black destiny.
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion” is the reparations they concocted to pacify their black worshippers.
You see, rather than acknowledge the catastrophic consequences of the matriarchal culture they imposed on black Americans, progressives invented a system of rewards they can hand out to their most ardent supporters. DEI allows progressives to sleep comfortably knowing the strategy they sold black people decimated black families, children, and neighborhoods in ways that slavery and segregation could not.
God created an immune system and approach to life that can cure any physical, mental, or emotional man-made disease. Progressives think they’re smarter than God.
The average white liberal looks at the carnage these policies caused and says, “Well, at least we lowered the standards enough that a few of the people we crippled can sneak through the cracks if they obey us.”
All this came to my mind as I tried to discern what led Mark Cuban to elect himself as the ultimate defender of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The former owner of the Dallas Mavericks has spent the past week debating Elon Musk and others on social media about the merits of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Cuban is getting trashed. It’s rather embarrassing.
A man who rose to fame in a league that employs 80% black players is lecturing everyone else about the need to de-emphasize merit and prioritize racial, gender, and sexual “diversity” in hiring. It makes no sense.
Well, if you look a bit deeper, it does make sense.
Cuban wants to be a left-wing Donald Trump. Cuban sold his interest in the Mavericks and quit his popular TV show “Shark Tank” to clear the path for his so-far unannounced presidential bid. No one believes Joe Biden is running for re-election. So Cuban is one of a number of leftists jockeying to replace Biden as the Democrats’ nominee.
Cuban is posturing as a male feminist and racial justice champion. Feminism and “racial justice” are primary core values and principles of progressives. His critics are digging into his history and exposing the hypocrisy of the public positions he’s taking.
Cuban is exposing himself as a bigot. In a deleted tweet from 2020 chastising white people, Cuban claimed that George Floyd’s life is the story of “almost every black man.” Really? We’re all drug addicts and career criminals? Wow.
Cuban and the Democrats are wrestling with the failure of the social change policies they prescribed for black people 60 years ago. That’s when Lyndon Johnson started injecting black people with the “Great Society” vaccine, and feminists provided booster shots of sexual liberation and promiscuity.
For 50 years, as black people began to suffer more and more negative consequences from the progressive lab experiment, leftists got away with blaming “racist” conservatives for the bad results. That rationalization has lost its effectiveness over time. When you vote for the same party year after year for six decades but get no positive outcomes, eventually you start looking for a better explanation.
It’s a lot like the experimental COVID vaccines. After you take your third, fourth, or fifth booster, always wear a mask, and you still contract the virus, you begin to question the effectiveness of the experimental medical trial.
Black people are now questioning the effectiveness of liberalism. So liberals mandated diversity, equity, and inclusion across corporate America to guarantee high-profile, symbolic outcomes intended to pacify frustrated black voters.
Mark Cuban and liberals will never admit that they concocted a “cure” for racism that does far more damage than the “racism” they pretend to be fighting.
God created an immune system and approach to life that can cure any physical, mental, or emotional man-made disease. Progressives think they’re smarter than God. They believe they’re the arbiters of truth and fit to determine outcomes.
They’ve decided to issue reparations for the crimes they committed against black people. Rather than DEI, why not just allow black people to worship Jesus Christ without shame? That worship freed us from slavery, ended segregation and Jim Crow, and made America the safest, most opportunity-rich, and most prosperous place on the planet for black people.
Nobody owes "reparations" to anybody.
And lots of narcotics, don't forget the narcotics...
Jason Whitlock is another White Supremacist just like Larry Elder. Jason the rez cops are looking for you! Gotta git your mind right. /sarc.
“Nobody owes “reparations” to anybody.”
Isn’t that the truth! Between 1861 and 1865, over 600,000 Americans died freeing the slaves. That debt has been paid in full for over 150 years.
Wealthy and woke is a dangerous combination in this country.
“That debt has been paid in full for over 150 years.”
Any white liberal who still thinks that even MORE is owed is encouraged to walk alone and unarmed (naturally) down any urban ghetto street on any night.
You’ll pay some “repamarations” then, baby. But you suddenly might not feeeel so good about it.
Mark Cuban proving once again that his ego is larger than his ability to reason in reality.
Reduced economic efficiency: Redistribution and government intervention can discourage investment and entrepreneurship if they are perceived as overly burdensome or disincentivize hard work. This could lead to slower economic growth.
Loss of individual freedom: Extensive government intervention and regulation can limit individual choice and freedom in pursuit of egalitarian goals. This can raise concerns about personal liberty and autonomy.
Bureaucracy and inefficiency: Implementing complex redistribution programs and regulations can create bureaucratic costs and inefficiencies, potentially limiting their effectiveness.
Unintended consequences: Unforeseen side effects of policies can arise, such as disincentivizing work or creating black markets. Careful design and evaluation are crucial to mitigate such risks.
Wealth Redistribution: Policies may be implemented to transfer wealth from the richer segments of society to the poorer ones. This could involve progressive taxation, social welfare programs, and other mechanisms to ensure a more equal distribution of economic resources.
Progressive Taxation: Taxation systems may be designed to place a higher burden on the wealthier individuals and corporations. Progressive tax rates aim to collect a larger percentage of income from those with higher earnings.
Regulation and Oversight: There may be increased government regulation and oversight of economic activities
Government Planning and bureaucratic management: Depending on the extent of interventionism, there might be government planning in key sectors of the economy. This can include strategic investments, nationalization of certain industries, or the implementation of economic policies aimed at achieving specific social goals.
I propose “Reparations by Wall Street”.
Have them grant “giveaway” stocks to encourage inclusivity with Capitalism and the American Way.
I think the Dems owe reparations. Having been freed, the blacks were abused thru the Dem party by the KKK, Jim Crow laws & refusal to pass civil rights legislation. The Dems in reality were the true abusers of the black population. And they continue to do so with their progressive policies. Granted, no one alive now was a slave, but the Dems have perpetuated bad policies visa vi blacks for how many years now?
Truth. The wealthy and woke are a nation killing cancer. Blackrock, Vangaurd, fools like Cuban all dangerous and powerful.
“ Isn’t that the truth! Between 1861 and 1865, over 600,000 Americans died freeing the slaves. That debt has been paid in full for over 150 years.”
EXACTLY. Case closed; forever. Bank account closed, forever.
No other nation did as much as the US did in 1865 to free people .
It was accomplished.
It’s done, finished, forever .
People need to quit their whining and get off the coach and make a life for theirselves .
Mark Cuban has a net worth of nearly $7 billion. Perhaps he and some other woke billionares can pool their money together and start the National Negro Fund.
Mark will eventually lose his shit and chump out, but hopefully he drives some wedge issues into Biden's weakening hold on his far Left, simply by offering Gruesome-style neomarxist talking points from a non-octogenarian.
Meanwhile Gruesome is the real loser in any Cuban campaign and you can guarantee his henchmen are digging dirt on this showboat right now. Trump won't have to lift a finger.
Everyone who got a gender or race preference owes the White Man. There fixed it. Instead of being grateful you are getting these preferences white men are denied, you hate him even more. This is the way stupid people rationalize their self worth.
If tomorrow they did away with all preferences in educaiton and hiring, and in promotions, etc., people would scream they the white man is holding them down.
That same white guy that went to the same classrooms with white sisters, and all the other categories of gifters.
How about we get the white guys the only preferences for the next 55 years (1968-2023/4) and see how everyone gets a warm fuzzy feeling because America does the right thing.
Trump is going to kill race and gender preferences at the Federal level and get it out of the laws forcing the states to do likewise. This is the reason for DEI and to institute a new level of preference mandates.
I don't.
The Democrats stole their loot "fair and square" from Blacks. They aren't ever going to give any of it back.
It is up to Blacks to wise up and stop the steal.
Lovely thought. Never gonna happen.
All these Progressives who talk about "reparations" want us to pony up the cash, which they can pass around to their friends. And they will take a percentage off the top for themselves of course for "Administrative costs".
"Reparations" = Theft.
Reparations are the latest tactic the elites are using, along with climate change, to destroy and enslave the middle class and establish their long desired global government with them in charge of course.
MCuban = DBag.
