And possibly advancing the cause of racial justice.

By Emily Peck

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden moved to both erase the white supremacist legacy of the previous White House and address injustices that existed long before Donald Trump came to power.

“A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer,” Biden said in his inaugural speech. Racial justice is one of the administration’s top priorities, alongside the pandemic and the economy, he said.

Later in the day, Biden issued an executive order on “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government” to put his pledge into action. The order received scant attention amid a wave of actions from the White House, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. It has the potential to advance the cause of racial justice on several key fronts.

On top of the executive order, the White House’s push to raise the minimum wage would have outsize effects on African Americans, helping to narrow the black-white income gap.

1. President Biden has done more for our country in the first four days than T did in has past 4 years.

2. Pretty low bar but that's mostly because...

Everything -45 did, he did to us. Joe is doing everything for us. No way to compare the two.

3. You are so right.

Joe wants to help US and T just wants to help himself (to money and power etc).

Biden putting Tubman on the $20 will be pure psychological torture for tRump
