In Case You Haven't Been Paying Attention [View all]

Last edited Mon Feb 1, 2021, 07:52 PM - Edit history (1)

To what the Administration of 46 has been doing, here is a Twitter primer:




Truth: and this is going to hurt.

There are some of you who think that if Biden’s administration didn’t address your issue yet- that nothing has been done for black people.

The problem is you refuse to acknowledge black people that are not just like YOU.




How many of you ACTUALLY paid attention to the executive orders issued before you pontificated about how you knew this administration wasn’t going to do shit?

What black folks are you referring to?

You’re not talking about black folks in college.





You’re not talking about black folks who live in communities that have poor quality of air due to the former administrations rampant abuses of our climate and rollback of basic climate rights right? Not those black folks?

I could go on. But my point?

This administration is 6 days old. I’m certain we will get our fair share of disappointment but the last 6 days have been glorious to watch a functioning government resume footing and address the needs of the nation.

And if this pace continues- I believe we may actually see more done for people of color than in the last 50 years.

Ooooh and today, another one!!! Addressing the private and for profit prison population? Wow. What poor leadership. (Rolls eyes and goes back to work.)
