What race are you? I'm black... cut it out...
Tons of HBCUs presidents just met with Trump and the white house is giving federal funds to HBCUs. The issue is the amount. He is giving at-least-as much as Obama did.
I can't argue with your first 4 points. Especially in regards to voting. But the majority of those issues affect only African Americans dealing with the legal system. I realize that it could be any one on any given day, but I think it is premature to say what affect these actions will have. It is a big time will tell.
Do you think that many of those criminals belong in jail or do you think that they should do some type of anger-management type program for recidivism? Serious question. Because the criminal attorneys that I know and interact with are fully aware of their client's guilt and find it funny. And I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with that. They are fighting for the constitutional rights... I get it. But is it your position that crime isn't an issue that needs to be addressed in these communities?
Great question. I am talking about policies that help middle class black people. Specifically household incomes between 150k-350k. Often there are barriers that many don't realize exist. It is difficult, for instance, to purchase a downtown condo for rental property. Older white men are grandfathered in so they can rent their units out. Sadly, often black people who are first or second generation in terms of capability to purchase these units are prevented from doing this because the units must be owner-occupied. The stated reason is the FHA, if you believe it. Also, I am all for his tax reform. These are some of the issues that I believe will help our communities. The barriers aren't just limited to blacks in poverty.
Tough on crime policies were unfortunately were very popular at the time. Even had a lot of support within the black community unfortunately.What was the vote breakdown on that crime bill again that republicans keep trying to bring up as a left issue? Everyone made mistakes there, including the people who thought they needed it most only to have it hurt the most.
I can think of some other big differences...
My idea of black people and organizations directly investing more into black communities is a recipe for slavery and indentured servitude? That's ridiculous.
And I am not a fan of the person of color rhetoric. I think that some black people use the terminology to disassociate themselves from the unique black plight.
When Kamala Harris referred to herself as a woman of color, when running for president, as opposed to the potential first black woman nominee it was off-putting.
I advocated for stricter term limits to certain welfare programs. And I stated that the status quo, in my opinion, has created dependency that is harmful to black communities.
actually you have repeatedly said he had to do better on twitter
and yet you, a supposed black man, rarely if ever actually addresses the blatant flaws of an obviously terrible human being

**** Biden for what it did, but just trying to put the blame on him lets a **** ton of people off the hook. In fact the GOP's main attack against the dems on the issue was that they were too weak on crime.
Ohhh so Trump gets credit for something one in his administration does.
Funny, because when I brought up Barr and the DOJ undermining the First Step Act. You tried to claim they were independent of Trump.

Funny how that works.
I love Dwalk new shtick of caring about criminal justice reform and poor black people.
In 2017, he was telling people that bringing up these issues was ignoring other black people. this was in response to me listing regressive things Trump did on civil rights...
Him striking a different tone about the focus should be about fixing crime in those communities. Instead of focusing on disparity in treatment black people receive in the criminal justice system. In a discussion with dacomeup
Him spelling out which set of black people, and which income level, he was here to advocate for...
Funny how times have changed our troll. He a activist now
