    If you want to shut down a conversation about race, just say the word “reparations.” Even black Americans are divided over the idea that money can compensate for the vestiges of an evil ins ution that ended 150 years ago; only 60 percent think the government should make cash payments to descendants of slaves. White Americans, on the other hand, have reached a consensus: In a YouGov poll taken shortly after the Atlantic published Ta-Nehisi Coates’s viral feature, “The Case for Reparations,” 94 percent were opposed.

    Yet a year of protests over disparate law enforcement practices, a decade of particularly sharp income inequality and centuries of imparity in America show that racial reconciliation is impossible without some kind of broad-based, systemic reparations. Recognizing the original sin is simply not enough; we must also make moral and material amends for our nation’s treatment of African American citizens. But if a pecuniary answer can’t fix the structural disadvantage — and it can’t — what can?

    Weighted voting.

    give everybody the right to vote automatically at age 18 (if you can die in a war, you can vote).

    Federal law to kill gerrymandering by state politicians.

    redistricting every 10 years by non-politicians appointed committees, by not-state-officials (gov, a/G lt gov, etc), can't remove politics completely but it's worth a try.

    re-instate the VRA section killed by the Repug SCOTUS5.

    Make the senate proportional, instead of 2 senators for a couple M farmers.

    the 5/3!

    Just from here on out require that every black child knows that slavery was ok'd by honkey Jesus and it is better to leave that alone. Black folk have no business in a Christian church.
    Black folk can repair themselves but gotta break free from that white devil tbh

    Maybe give out pamphlets and .

    Exactly. Europe is already rising brother. The German brothers have burned down 200 n!gger centers so far this year. I read an article where a Syrian man was so scared he was leaving back home. Nationalist marches in every country and nationalist parties on the rise. We aren't going to take it lying down.

    At least you openly acknowledge that you're for the death of the white race. Maybe you'll go honorably like a soldier.
