Tariq Nasheed on Twitter

rachel Maddow freaks out that black Americans are receiving hard cash.


Tariq Nasheed states that the cash is long overdue and black Americans owe loyalty to those that provide the tangibles. Implying Democrats have provided no tangibles to earn a vote in 2020.

comments?

is Tariq selling out or does he have a point?

Trump allies are handing out cash to black voters
Organizers have begun holding events in black communities where they lavish praise on the president while handing out thousands of dollars in giveaways.
Allies of Donald Trump have begun holding events in black communities where organizers lavish praise on the president as they hand out tens of thousands of dollars to lucky attendees.

The first giveaway took place last month in Cleveland, where recipients whose winning tickets were drawn from a bin landed cash gifts in increments of several hundred dollars, stuffed into envelopes. A second giveaway scheduled for this month in Virginia has been postponed, and more are said to be in the works.
The organizers say the events are run by the book and intended to promote economic development in inner cities. But the group behind the cash giveaways is registered as a 501(c)3 charitable organization. One leading legal expert on nonprofit law said the arrangement raises questions about the group’s tax-exempt status, because it does not appear to be vetting the recipients of its money for legitimate charitable need.

Mr Trump can't win over African Americans with his policies, so he's trying cash. Giving cash to prospective voters is illegal. good luck with this venture.

Based on the logic that loyalty is owed only to those who supply 'tangibles' in a given moment then I would assume there is still a great loyalty to slave owners who provided chains, beatings, rape, body mutilation, forced illiteracy as well as some food, clothing and slave quarters.

I don't think Dr. Maddow was 'freaked' that black Americans would be receiving cash, but that a white politician would be craven enough to offer it.

I would ask Tariq how the GOP in general feels about the idea that African Americans might be owed some tangibles for their forced labor and deprivation of civil rights due to slavery. I haven't herd Trump's position on that. Tariq will have to get back to us on that. How does the tangibles stack up against voter suppression aimed at minorities. It's ironic that Trump will slip Tariq a grand to go to the rally then block him from voting.

Sadly nothing is illegal with the Presidency.

Hmm i wonder why conservatives have turned to flat out paying people for their vote?

Why Republicans Love Citizens United, In One Chart

[The following chart from the Center for Responsive Politics represents outside spending by non-candidate and party groups seeking to influence elections in every election cycle going back to 1990. As it demonstrates, such spending was on the rise even before the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate influence on elections in the Citizens United decision. Nevertheless, another trend is also clear. Prior to Citizens United, which was decided in 2010, left-leaning groups held a moderate-to-significant advantage in election spending. After Citizens United, conservatives absolutely dominated the field:

To be fair, some of the massive disparity in 2012 can be attributed to the contested Republican primary — and was spent on Republican-on-Republican hits rather than on attempts to improve Republicans’ chances against Democrats. Nevertheless, the last two election cycles suggest that conservatives will continue to benefit from Citizens United even once the general election kicks into full gear. Citizens United gave such a boost to Republican candidates that outside spending by conservatives grew by more than $70 million from 2008 to 2010, even though 2008 was a presidential election year and outside spending has historically been much higher in these cycles than in off-year elections.]

If you have to cheat to win then you know you can't win without cheating.

I don't support reparations, but I don't hate the idea of them. Every conservative I have ever spoken to has absolutely hated the idea of reparations. I don't see why anyone would think conservatives would be more willing to give reparations than liberals.

Having said that, I don't have a problem with demanding "tangibles" from politicians and parties before voting for them. I actually like that idea very much. I just think people need to be realistic in what they demand.

There is more I want to write, but I'm at work now. I will write more later.

Oh come now

didn't you hear Dershowitz ?

If the President and I guess by extension a candidate thinks it will help with his/her election and that would be good for the country IE "the national interest" it is all good

Whatever it takes to maintain rule even if they are the minority. They’ve really abandoned democracy and human decency.

They don't even care that it's now obvious to every last human being that has the ability to understand politics and history in general. Which i would imagine is the beginning of the end for them. There's a big difference between 98% of americans thinking black people aren't human. Thinking that owning a human is normal. Which is how they were able to get away with slavery. A difference between having even women thinking women were less than men. Which is how they got away with sexism. 95% of people in america thinking the lgbtq community will burn in hell. And so on.

Not wanting witnesses in a trial this big. Then using their power to silence all the americans who did also want witnesses is a completely different thing.

Everything up until now could be hidden, diverted, excused away, tuck under the rug and lied about. Even trump winning only by the electoral college could be ignored by a good percentage of americans. This. Oh boy.
