I have been watching and waiting for something to be done for black folks, weren’t we told that Joe Biden was better than Trump, and was going to do something for black folks, for some reason black folks think that the one who wrote and passed a lot of racist laws will somehow do something for black folks, Trump was too racist to do anything for black folks, (That is the thought process).
Let’s see how politically aware we are, it may or may not come as a surprise that the democrats can single-handedly pass anything they want now because they control both houses, they really don’t need republicans, even though they still try to blame Republicans for their failed promises. The midterm elections are upon us again, the question is will there be a shift???? Cause nothing has been done, from the lift every voice plan to all other plans they told us they were going to do. California has passed some sort of reparations committee, and this is just to study who should receive it, it’s funny, I’m wondering why states like Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Virginia, etc. didn’t participate in that study. These states were directly involved in slavery.
The midterms are fast approaching, things are changing although gas is still expensive, inflation is at an all-time high, things are not looking good for the Democrats, but ever since Joe Biden has been in office, then he and his fellow Democrats have had the power to do so much without needing republican support, but pretending there is still some sort of resistance from Republicans. The republicans now don’t have an excuse, they control the white house to both houses of Congress, and according to some news sources, the president has signed 87 executive orders so far. Now as it stands they can pass anything they want, they can make all the changes they want, and more importantly, they can make the changes they promised black people, at least do some of the things that they outlined in the “lift every voice” plan. Joe Biden has yet to surpass Trump on what he did for black people, I wouldn’t say he did much but at least it was something we can point to, Well with Joe we are being asked to wait, right ???
- Expansion of enterprise zones
- More funds to HBCUs ( Executive order 13779)
- First Step Act
- Music Modernization Act
To end this I said this and I will say it again, I like the Music Modernization Act because the music industry has treated black people, some died penniless, so I’m looking at this from a black perspective, but that is just me though.
Brothers and sisters all I can say is “be careful” with your vote, especially this mid-term election.
