Did #Reparations save the Jewish community? 🤔
#StopAntiBlackAmericanHate
This was a show to “debate” callers’ #Reparations arguments. Not only do the hosts lack historical context on anti-ADOS discrimination codified into American law & the data, they believe we’re only owed $2.1T.
Every rebuttal was based on racist stereotypes & bootstrapper beliefs
A prev caller tried to quote Antonio Moore’s data on the % of Black immigrants in the US prior to 1965 & JT said he was very familiar w/ his work.
He proceeded to responded to almost every caller w/ anti-ADOS rhetoric & repeated how financial literacy is needed.🥴
#Reparations
Found it! Right after saying he was familiar w/ ADOS co-founder AT’s work, he brought up Marcus Garvey…
Later in the show he brought up Farrakhan & how we’re “all Black.”🥴
It seems like JT did this show to regurgitate anti-#Reparations myths that have been debunked yrs ago.

Financial Literacy Programs Ignore That Poverty Is a Policy Choice

After claiming their criticisms were for all Americans’ bad spending habits, the hosts & a 1st gen immigrant joked about Black folks seeking instant gratification.
“I believe in #Reparations & I hope it comes. & I plan on taking advantage of those who mismanage their assets.”😒
Wow. Terrible typo .. *AM’s work
