Well they're saying this OPENLY. A lot of Republicans in Congress are trying to kill further stimulus bills and other forms of economic aid that struggling Americans of ALL races are getting just to keep Black and Brown citizens from getting them. They claim that giving people benefits and assistance during the pandemic encourages them NOT to work but to rather stay home. But we know in Europe the government is literally PAYING people outright to stay home and not work so as not to spread the virus and no one is arguing against this logical move. Just like they have free healthcare over in Europe and no one is arguing against it. The only reason these things are a "controversy" in America is because Black people benefit from them. Honestly........ It may seem outrageous, but I believe the ONLY reason most Republicans went along with and supported the bills to give Americans extra benefits and economic assistance to begin with was they didn't expect most of them would live long enough to receive them. In other words, a few months ago the predictions of the virus was so dire.....these Republicans figured MILLIONS of Americans would have died by now so they wouldn't have been able to collect anyway. But many are social distancing and wearing masks and the death toll isn't what they predicted so now they want to pull back the benefits.

I AM EXCITED! I am waiting now for my book that I just purchased from this community: BARRACOON by Nora Neale Hurston. Oh, I am so excited. This book is my passion. My ancestor--my Great grandmother was stolen from East Africa many years after the Slave Ship Trade was supposed to be outlawed! Like this book, which is about a man who was stolen from West Africa and survived the voyage in 1860 and lived to tell his story, likewise my Great grandmother lived to be old. Her story was passed down through my relatives and she lived to be 'just' over 100 years old. One of my aunt who knew her, just died last year! And, I learned a lot about my Great grandmother from her and others. So, I am looking forward to reading Barracoon! WHAT AM I READING RIGHT NOW!? Well although this author is NOT African American, however, for right now, I am reading his book and it is amazing! The book is called A Dwelling Place by Erksine Clarke. It is about slavery in Georgia. He is a Harvard Graduate and his book won awards. It's so hard to put down. I have read about 400 pages into the total 600+ pages.
