17. Black women being more likely to die from breast cancer is not a view

It is a FACT - 42% higher death rate.

Red Lining and keeping blacks corralled for 38 years is a FACT - not a view.

Many black "professions" were left out of Social Security - another FACT.

As a result of red lining - there are severe disparities in pre University level ability.

Free College -
Can come after a 3-5 year implementation called Even It Up. A black family making 31K a year in Newark NJ shouldn't have to pay another 3k in taxes a year to send a white kid from Edison to Rutgers - until they see their grade school receieve the same equipment and tool as the Edison School District. Prove to us you really intend for ALL to be able to get into and succeed at Rutgers. Tax me another 10K to do it. Spread that money out across the weakest school districts in the country. You want to kill charter schools in Newark and Christian schools down South? Show those kids parents we want strong across the board public schools.

And how can you disagree with someone getting better healthcare in another country? My dad joked right in front of my husband after we got engage - I don't know G - she might just be out for an Italian health care card!
