Tim Scott

So the Republicans goto spokesman on this police brutality and race issue is Senator Tim Scott....this is the epitome of the “token black guy” or “my black friend”

Trump's Tulsa rally

I know that FoxNews and OAN will be covering it, but it would be nice if MSNBC and CNN doesn’t give his campaign free advertisement...wishful thinking though...

Watching MSNBC

Wow, you would think there is no pandemic going on with all the hand shaking, no social distancing, and no mask.

Once Biden becomes POTUS and we get the Senate

3 things need to happen

1. DC Statehood
2. Puerto Rican Statehood
3. Increase in SCOTUS justices to 11

Yep, Republicans will whine and complain and say the Democrats are trying to build power and the MSM will back them up, but so...nothing is illegal about it and it will be a much needed way of seizing power from the minority Republican Party

Waiting for Trump to blame rise in COVID cases

On the protests.

Black college athletes

With Tommy Tubberville running as a MAGA Republican, Dabo Swinney not firing an assistant coach for using the n-word, and Mike Gundy supporting a racist news station....I wish that these black athletes would start going to HBCUs

These white coaches don’t care anything about these black players, and these players are making them rich

One of the most racist and ignorant twitter threads

Happen to come across this twitter thread. I already knew that there were a lot of racists in this country, but wow....they use to hide it but now with social media they are proud to show their names and faces. Caution: you may not be able to stomach it.

Keisha Lance Bottoms

I really like her and thought she would make an excellent VP choice...A young black woman who could excite the base and possibly flip Georgia ...Do you think this incident takes her out of the running where the Biden team may want to avoid controversy?

Atlanta police incident

So I saw the video and this was nothing like George Floyd's murder...The aftermath and the protest were overboard in my opinion....did the guy deserve to die and could the situation have been handled better by the police, no he didn't and yes it could of been handled better......but I don't think this incident had anything to do with race or police brutality.....and when we make every incident about that and make every person a martyr it takes away from the problem

Advertisers need to dump FoxNews not just Tucker

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/12/media/tucker-carlson-ad-boycott/index.html

So I read this article and what I gathered from it is that Tucker is allowed to stay on the air and Fox is able to run non profitable commercials during his spot because all these companies are really doing is shifting their commercials to other FoxNews shows.
