Reprations is a Failed Movement


 

Reperations for the African American Community has been in the news especially in recent years. It is something that has been talked about for decades, however it has gotten African Americans Absolutely nowhere. Federal courts have struck in down. Even when stuff like corporate lineage was used to financially trace modern day companies to slave ventures from back during before the emacipation proclamation, has come of this movement. The movement had some traction in the 1970s and 1980s and then it went quiet for over two decades.

One would think that it was gone for good, that it was no longer a factor. And for all intents and purposes it was. However fast forward to 2016 and this useless movement reared its ugly head yet again. This time it was due to Donald Trump having his first term in office in Washington DC. The movement was led by black lives matter operatives, who also happen to be radical communist lesbians who want to eliminate men from society and did not mention black men as part of the black family in their mission statement on their website. This new BLM reparations movement began adjutating for reparations, for no other reason other than to disrupt the Donald Trump presidential campaign. Lets also not forget that black lives matter had a mysterious habit of having many of their male leadership die at young ages for mysterious reasons.

The reparations movement was nothing that was ever serious. It was simply a movement to distract the black community in a grand fashion. In an age where you have more young black innovative entrepreneurs than ever before, young black people starting up new companies that are innovating and creating real solutions for the black community in the market. And the best these people can come up with is to talk about some reperations. Some redundant dusty shit that aint never helped nobody and sure as hell is not going to move the black community forward in the 21st century. This is what I mean when I say that it is a distraction. Tangible attainable things that the black community can focus on to improve itself are ignored for a derisive, demeaning, and unnattainble cause. We got these young black women in their mid twenties running around talking about how we gonna get congress people to acknowledge reparations when they should be talking about how they can start a braid shop together to make some real $$$ that they can use to actually empower their community. They are completely wasting their time.

On this black we really don’t like ideas and concepts that waste the black community’s time and resources. Black people leave money on the table and waste time with initiatives, when they could have been making real money and making real moves out here in the real world. Instead they stay in this theoretical world, where they talk about hypothetical things that have no tangible result in the real world such as reperation…..

Caitlyn Clark

 



For those of you unfamiliar with this blog, what we see here in the picture is what we like to promote here. It’s not about physical appearance, or creed, its simply about determination, skill and the ability of one to master their craft. Now there have been plenty of nay sayers and haters out there. Many of them within the WNBA establishment itself. Many of them in the old guard of that organization. Who dare to look at this phenomena and dismiss it in the most disrespectful of manners.

For once we see the WNBA finally becoming something that can be marketable for the mainstream. Its actually finally becoming a quality product. After decades of poor play, missed shots and airballs, there is now a new generation of WNBA players who are taking the game to new heights. The play that you see on the court is not just mesmerizing, its revolutionary and its bringing a whole new generation of fans to the game. I must admit, I never thought I would enjoy WNBA basketball as much as this.

In years past I only knew the WNBA from brief clips on ESPN and glimpses of female athletes who were built like men (enter Griner Joke here) running an and down the court an missing point black slam dunks. That type of league is not the type of league that can draw fans. Yes there have been those out there who have tried to guilt people into liking that type of stuff. And it is totally pointless because no one wants to see that type of stuff. It doesn’t matter how much you guilt someone into liking it. It’s not gonna help. You can’t force people to like something that they don’t want to see. And that is what the world is starting to realize now.

Enter Caitlyn Clark NCAA Di all time leading scorer, NCAA Di single season 3 point record holder, 2x player of the year 2023,2024, 2x Naismith college player of the year 2023.2024, 3x Nancy Lieberman award (2022,2023,2024) 3x big ten player of the year (2022-2024) WBCA co freshmen of the year 2021, and also first WNBA rookie to have a triple double.

These accolades and stats speak for themselves. They tell a story of an athlete who is truly capable accomplished and determined, as well as someone who is a class act. And the best that the WNBA can do is throw shade. Snubbing her for the women’s Olympic basketball team? This is the WNBA establishment at work. And excuse was made that having veteran players on the team was better for the overall cohesiveness of the team. But the fans and anyone watching this phenomenon can clearly see that this decision was wrong. Here on his blog we will continue to monitor Caitlyn Clarks career progression an provide commentary as she is an athlete that deserves the adherence and garners it on her own. Just like I found Jeremy Lin intriguing back in the day so too do I find the young career of Caitlyn Clark.

Stay tuned for further commentary and thanks for reading……..
