Our (Black Youth Project 100) Demands: Stop the Cops and FUND Black Futures
Black Youth Project 100 ^
| November 28, 2015
Posted on 11/28/2015 8:36:14 AM PST by Zakeet
BYP100 organizes for the liberation of ALL Black people. In the wake of the release of the video showing the execution of Laquan McDonald, we are poised to continue our organizing across the United States. It is OUR duty to FIGHT for our freedom.
Here's what we want:
- We demand all local, state and federal budgets to defund the police and invest those dollars and resources in Black futures.
- We want reparations for chattel slavery, Jim Crow and mass incarceration.
- We want to end all profit from so-called "criminal justice" punishment - both public and private.
- We want a guaranteed income for all, living wages, a federal jobs program, and freedom from discrimination for all workers.
- We want the labor of Black transgender and cisgender women (unseen and seen, unpaid and paid) to be valued and supported, not criminalized and marginalized.
- We want investments in Black communities that promote economic sustainability and eliminate the displacement of our people.

Counter offer: How about you grow up, accept some personal responsibility. Stop breeding like rabbits, stop being criminals, stop expecting other people to pay your way.

It can all be reduced to one sentence: We want all the money in the world.

Liberal Brookings Institution says 98% of people who follow your suggestions are able to rise out of poverty.
Go figure.

Apparently that’s not important right now.
We seem to be entering a “perfect storm” for these activists.
The P.C. police are out in force.
Money is flowing to their cause.
The media is behind them 100%
The 0bama administration is behind them 100%
There has never been a better time to promote, demand, get concessions, gain legitimacy and make money by advancing the “rights of” and the “right to be” a completely and utterly clueless, willfully ignorant class of being.

Why aren’t they demanding that liberal academia actually teach them to read and write so that they can compete in the market place?

I also read that the Revolutionary Communist Party, a far left Maoist outfit that advocates violent revolution, was also involved in the “protests” in Chicago. Chicago commie, Grant Newburger was the coordinator. Louie Farrakan (sp?) and his bow tie boys were also marching.
