      @@awill3992 Complaining is the expression of disappointment or annoyance about something.
      So if you want to take my comment as my “complaining” Yes, I’m complaining. I’m complaining over the fact that on Joseph Biden Jr.’s last days in office, he has issued a number of preemptive pardons essentially to protect some leading public figures and members of his own family. It was a novel and innovative use of the presidential pardon power. Among others, the preemptive pardons were for:
      * Anthony Fauci (Biden’s former chief medical advisor).
      * Five members of his family, including Hunter Biden who lived lavishly while flouting the tax law, spending his cash on things like strippers and luxury hotels, in short, everything but his taxes.
      I’m complaining that the Biden-Harris Administration consented to giving $18 billion in weapons to Israel and acknowledged the weapons were used against civilians in Gaza.
      I’m complaining that Biden’s showed no concern for families, especially the children once they reached boarders.
      Retired Border Patrol agent JJ Carrell testified before Congress, that the U.S. federal government facilitates child sex trafficking through its handling of unaccompanied migrant children. Carrell criticised the Biden administration for its immigration policies, which he stated exacerbated child exploitation at the border.
      I’m complaining of the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous policies and poor leadership record have fueled crisis after crisis.
      Biden’s pardoning Marcus Garvey is only to distract the public from the above noted pardons, actions, and inactions. It certainly was not done with good intentions!

      Correct. This is a Caribbean story, not a story about those of us, my history here going back to the 1700s on record. Lynching should not be lent to Marcus Garvey's efforts as he joined with Ernest Cox of the KKK to achieve ends for the Caribbean and Africa, not "Black-Americans" as we have always been called by both. Both identified by their nationality until 2019. And up until that time and generation, I have always been encouraged to NOT call myself Black, while being called "Black American." We were and are seen as people with no nation and as you prove in your comment, are still a non-factor in "African Nationalism." The "diasporic" politics do not resolve our harms and were never meant to. The politics of people who look like us have nothing to do with our issues, those people do not associate with us in any political or civic manner. They talk and operate over and despite our presence.
      You comment that you can see what is happening in Africa and the Caribbean, but not America to "Black Americans." And like Garvey and the guest, inject yourself into the racialized experience of "Black Americans" after entering the arena of America by choice, on your own terms, for your own interests. By virtue of signing up for all of the intent of immigration with no exception or recognition of "Black Americans" Garvey, and you are here and participating in the same harms with offenders, the KKK no less. Garvey was attracted to eugenics. Today's immigrant is attracted by the opportunities work programs bring. We, "Black Americans" are being gentrified en mass and there is no discussion of it. There have been and are no Democracy Now topics on the ongoing harms to us. The ongoing operationalization of eugenics and systemic harms. That is bundled as discreet incidents and political squabbles. But a celebration of Marcus Garvey. I lost most all of my "Black American" neighbors by the year of 2020 to Caribbean neighbors who refuse to speak and instead have are hostile when I greet them. The past four years have been the election of 3rd generation eugenicists, their new progeny and a celebration of globalism. Overlooking all the chaos and destruction that comes with that, but never addressing it. Actually seeing that side of the coin as a savior. And not that its goals are achieved, Immigration is prioritized as the American harm. My neighborhood has been gentrified and displaced, I have no agency or representation in my local government and police. That has always been the function of immigration in our neighborhoods. That separation and the cycle of enjoying winning opportunities only for the let down of being sent back home has always been there. Then the argument about the treatment of "Black" immigrants vs... You never touched "Black" politics and you overstep the treatment of "We" who are here. That is your function.
      The same function as Marcus Garvey's union with Ernest Cox, his union with the KKK betrayed us in the worst way. There has been no "Black" diaspora. Just leveraging of the energy, interests and outcomes of "Black American" politics as we were called. Harlem and Chicago were the safer places for my great-grand parents; maternal and paternal to move to, away from lynching, and murder in the 20s. Neither saw Marcus as their representative, solution or ally. Yes, Marcus Garvey spoke out against lynching, he did not address it head on. The new and small wave of Caribbeans did not live in the south. As is now, the place of the Caribbean and African were not seated with "Black Americans." The question of how to respond was an academic argument. Not confrontational, courageous, or even recognizing the dynamics or racial violence, segregation or institutions. Garvey united with the worst part of racism, the KKK, Earnest Cox was both a supremacist KKK member and a eugenicist. There was no mistake in that. As with your guests, Marcus asserted "We Blacks" without a "Black American" body, Assuming agency and leadership in the lives of "Black Americans" skipping the physical and logistical he based his fight in the ideological, his boats never left the shores. But, he raised $600,000 in the 20s? Sounds like the same fiscal tendencies as BLM, and Dr. Umar to me. If Garvey did successfully launch his boats my great-grandparents were fighting for their land, they themselves said that was a trip they would not take. Running away from what they worked for.
      Marcus Garvey did not address American harms head on. Instead he framed violence in the south, hatred in the south and north, eugenic and segregation laws as an argument in favor of his movement to get on a boat. No "We" or Black union grew out of his efforts. His fight was not framed for that. His fight was narrow. His fight was to get on that boat. He was no threat to American politics. The small Caribbean and African population at that time were in the Northeast. Just arriving to the safer regions on hearing about the harms, but not involving themselves. Not in the south where we were being lynched, murdered and our land stolen. Caribbeans did not associate with us in the north, they do not now. The one African purchased in 1811 to oversee my family in the south is documented as calling us "Dogs" on his arrival and committing his duty to his master. We were made to contend with a dominant minority who looked like us, as always have been and are right now. Going to school with African's and Caribbeans, our relationships were collegial, not that of allies. I learned politics, social capital, friendship and neighborliness is not their way. As Caribbeans and Africans do in their own countries.
      As I learned in sociology, the interest of the immigrant is not politics or civics of nations, its the immediate stabilization and growth family through opportunities, labor and assets. I've watched this play out in waves of gentrification in the "Black American" mixed income neighborhood I grew up in every 8 to 10 years over the course of 40 years, until the neighborhood was fully gentrified of both "Black Americans" and Caribbeans. I'm watching the same exact thing happen the same way in the middle to low income neighborhood I work in now. Two ethnicities of the same color living together does not change politics or racism, it weakens the struggle for justice. Someone who looks like you is satisfied and has no demands other than those that affect them directly. The same happens in the Caribbean where dominant minorities are positioned. What happened with East Indians in Trinidad. Or Japanese in Hawaii. The approach is strictly business and opportunities. Dominant minorities like the African purchased to oversee my family have intrinsic interests of opportunity, opposite that of joining to form a diaspora. It's the dream, and not until the opportunity is withdrawn and they are destabilized can the Dominant Minority empathize with the native. It's a cycle of waves that repeats itself. The only diaspora is the East Indian diaspora which is tied together by caste and homogeneity, a national identity and history of nationalist socialism. There was and is no kinship that comes from looking alike. That would have had to have been built through relationships.
      Marcus was attracted to the benefits he perceived "Black-Americans" were receiving under Eugenics. He arrived as immigrants do, for "opportunities." He arrived for a globalist view and benefits no different than 2019 mass immigration has benefitted "Black Americans these past four years. It has divested us, gentrified us, displaced us from our homes and jobs. It has diluted, at this point the progress we made in policy that benefited everyone else, but us. A Jamaican Vice President promised NOT to consider policy specifically for "Black Americans." Marcus Garvey did not address "Black American" issues specifically in any way either. Worse, he joined with Ernest Cox, a KKK leader with eugenic affiliation. Ernest's father's work was in shipping. While "Black American" professionals; Doctors and Scientists were forced through eugenics institutionalization of racist practices, to contend with the abuse of eugenics, institutionalized racism exacted on our family members; our classification as "Colored", forced sterilization, segregation, exclusion from the workplace, on our displacement from the land we own. Our fight is not to leave our land. you are correct. Marcus Garvey's fight was specifically for Caribbeans and Africans. It leveraged the harms of "Black Americans" and joined with the activists who classified us for segregation, that framed and enacted systemic racism in institutions nationally.

    The conviction of Marcus Garvey is one of the countless number of reason, we as foundational black Americans are owed reparation. It not just for 247 years of free labor of America chattel slavery but what happen 1865 going forward! Marcus Garvey and the UNIA was on the beginnings of buying ships so black America could be self sufficient with our own economy! If we were just left alone the first 40 years post 1865, we would be an economic giant along with Africa and the rest of the Africa diaspora!

There's a new generation of Jamaicans and people born in the Caribbean Islands that never heard about Marcus Garvey. I heard more Jamaicans talk about Bob Marley and Halie Salassie. So I don't see Marcus Garvey being held as a national hero amongst Jamaicans. FBA are the only people who kept the name Marcus Garvey alive for decades. That's why Marcus Mosiah Garvey had such a big following from the FBA culture. You see something I've never seen and heard and I've seen and heard a lot in my lifetime but what you said isn't true.

    The idea that Marcus Garvey’s pardon “helps undo the harms of the past” is laughable because it misunderstands the nature of historical harm and the scope of true justice. Pardon, as a symbolic gesture, cannot reverse or undo the vast systems of racial oppression that Garvey fought against, systems that persist today!
    Rather than focusing on symbolic gestures, honoring Black history, and truly addressing the harms of the past, requires dismantling those oppressive systems and making reparations for the centuries of exploitation, violence, and disenfranchisement that Black people have endured. A pardon doesn't touch these foundational issues, and calling it an act of undoing harm is an insult to the magnitude of Garvey's vision and the ongoing struggle for justice.

    This is a nothing burger. The man is dead and won't benefit from this. How about he pardon ppl like *Mumia Abu Jamal or Assata Shakur.* Ppl like those two who are still living deserve pardons.

      Most people don't know that. The flag also had a pledge. The name was "Here's to this Flag of Mine. They probably never heard of the "Whirlwind," his last speech before leaving the country.

      President Biden is a good man. His pardon of Garvey is a means to rectify and a wake up call to all of us that racism and injustice still exist in America. Let us equally uphold the rules of law for all races and for everyone…
