You made the false equivalence statement the topic of this thread. You wrote, "Biden makes America unaffordable for Blacks," then attributed it to the federal reserve rate and inflation. Both of these statements are false. So let me help you with your "argument" - Somehow, you got it in your head - 45's policies are better for Black Americans. If this is your statement - then you sound like a member of CULT 45. Let me share with you how government works. We elect people to work for us. We don't need to love them or even like them. They aren't our friends. We hire them for what they know and how their knowledge will benefit us. And as my mom says, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating and tasting." When 45* took office, Black Americans were finally doing well financially, physically, and in some cases, mentally -thanks to the policies of The Obama Administration. By the end of Trump's criminal enterprise masquerading as a presidential, Black Americans were once again circling the drain in all areas where the Obama Administration helped us gain. I grew up in NYC, and I know Trump was never a statesman or a legislator. -His business practices are shady -and he makes money by running businesses into the ground. He exploited social programs earmarked for the impoverished to enrich himself and his friends. One such program is the so-called opportunity zone. In Georgia, Sean Hannity helped himself to Opportunity Zone property thanks to his connection to then HUD Secretary Ben Carson. "Hannity, a former talk-radio host in Atlanta who has become one of the nation's most popular television and radio conservative commentators, has amassed a real-estate portfolio worth about $90 million, most of it rental homes in Georgia and six other states. HUD, the agency that Carson now heads, guaranteed about $22 million in loans on two of Hannity's apartment complexes in Georgia." Provide proof of how 45* policies helped Black people - if not. I'll consider this topic "false" and moot.

Many folks born within the past 100 years don't know race is a social construct because it isn't taught. That would be antithetical to maintaining the system of white supremacy which is racism. @Pioneer1, racism is only several hundred years old and counting. It hasn't turned one thousand yet.😁 IMO, before and beyond the construct of race, people have always been ethnocentric. That's how culture travels around the world. 😎

@Mel Hopkins we shall see if you can break through a wall, by talking to it.

IMO, crime is a by-product of a capitalistic society built on racism. A redistribution of wealth and resources would reduce crime significantly. Instead, those various systems put in place to deal with crime fuel the economy. Greed and self-interests makes it harder for natural law to prevail especially in a racist capitalistic society.😎

Finally something on which we agree.😁😎

good fun @Troy I like the vaudevillian presentation

It is something I have to be vigilant against that dynamic. Everyone believes they are right until, they know that they are wrong - Delano Strachen

Yes Amazon used affiliates to help garner market share then changed the terms such that profit from being an affiliate was cut dramatically. Apple tries to be exclusive and that has limited their reach. yes make your books accessible wherever it can be sold 🙂

It's not just about being wrong, but acting righteous feeling that you are the teacher. So my approach is even when I am almost certain that I am right, I consider the possibility that I could be wrong. I don't think many people are doing these things intentionally they just are lacking awareness and\or self reflection. However thanks for the Love. I have been working on communicating and writing, some of what I posted is almost unreadable due to grammar and being intentionally cryptic.
