      Black people are always in to forefront championing causes for every other "people of color"..But can anyone name a time when other so-called "poc" ever got in the forefront in large numbers to get laws passed in favor of Black people? This is a very serious question

      Yes. Carmen Perez of the Justice League fights for Black people full time and has for 20 years.

      I think what's happening here is that you think because you haven't seen something with your own eyes, it must not be happening? I see genuinely diverse coalitions of people fighting for Black folk, up front, out loud, behind the scenes, all of the time. See it with my own eyes

          Shaun, Im not buying the "they are fighting for us in Wakanda" excuse. Either they are or they are not. If they are, it should be something that is tangible and measurable and easily documented. Black efforts for other groups is easily and openly documented

          So in conclusion, Carmen Perez of the Justice League has gotten zero laws passed in favor of black people in 20 years. Who else ya got?

          It must be public, open and the laws must change. Anything else is pandering. Black people out here suffering and dying. I believe you Shaun but they must be the vanguards to really bring about change.

          I notice @ShaunKing has answered the question @tariqnasheed originally posted. What group has sought to get LAWS changed to benefit Black people.

          Yes but what laws or passed. What the hell are we fighting for if the laws aren’t change? This is how success is measured and you check the pulse of a thing. There are tons of activist, but how many make it to the floors of congress?

          For instance, Meek Mill ain’t the first prison activist and even the white folks that helped him know damn well, the stuff that happened to him happens all the time. But there are hundreds of prison activist and yet very little policies have been changed nationally.

          So the question does deserve serious scrutiny and we have to be honest about being effective and why those who stand on our back have been stumping us further into the ground and not helping us just on a plain human level...LIKE WE HAVE DONE EVEN WHILE CAPTIVE.

          Shaun, I donated money to your organization to help remove racist white supremacist agents and sympathizers that deny Melanoid ppl justice when restrictionwhen they are shot down. If you have a problem calling these people what they are, then how can I or any other investor trust

          you to fight these people with or hesitation. I donate monthly to your organization because you promised to fight specifically for melanoid people. Do you have a problem calling out white supremacy to it’s face?
