#Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Plan Doesn't Do Enough for Black Americans
msn.com/en-us/news/us/… #studentloanforgiveness
"I won’t benefit from Biden’s plan to cancel up to $10,000 of student loan debt (or up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients) for individuals making less than $125,000 a year."
"And though I don’t find the reasoning behind the income cap dispositive,I get the basic idea:those with higher incomes, like myself,can generally handle their loans more easily than those with lower incomes."
One of Biden's most conspicuously broken promises is student debt cancellation. This isn't a nightmare from the Machin Synematic Universe, either: Biden can #CancelStudentDebt on his own, at the stroke of a pen, in the form of an Executive Order.

Biden has the legal power to erase 100% of outstanding federal student debt. It's a wildly popular proposal that would end the nation's student debt crisis, lifting a crushing burden ($1,887,820,825,648 as of this writing!) from millions of Americans.

If elected, you/@GOP won't hold employers of these low wage jobs that don't provide good benefits or pensions accountable, you just want Blacks mad at Latinos. You don't support Reparations for Blacks, #Fightfor15 or closing the #RacialWealthGap. #BlackPolitics #BlackVote #ADOS
Those poultry jobs @jamestulp talked about don't fix the #WageGap

.@JamalSimmons pls stop being a Clinton-Obama apologist and have @profwolff @thomasfrank_ @RBReich @SandyDarity @DarrickHamilton on his show ASAP. Wages have been STAGNANT. The dotcom boom BUSTED. NAFTA outsourced manufacturing & living wage jobs. The #RacialWealthGap persists.

One legacy of race-based chattel slavery is the #racialwealthgap. For centuries, slave holders stole Black labor. That injustice has never been addressed. Today the typical white family has 10x or more wealth than the typical Black family.

This racial wealth gap affects not only Black people's ability to purchase homes or pay for college tuition. It affects ministry, too. Many Black Christians do not have the generational wealth or access to personal networks to raise money for ministry. So what do we do?

For #PiDay + #WomensHistoryMonth, I honor an eminent, glass-ceiling-breaking mathematician, Dr. Loretta Marion Murray Braxton. In the 1950’s, her 1st math prof in college in VA told her that she was in the wrong classes, b/c "only boys took higher-level math classes."1/14
Undeterred, Loretta Braxton won an NSF to do an MS in math in a top program at the University of Illinois, obtained a doctorate, and taught the 1st African American who formed a billion-dollar company, Reginald Lewis. #PiDay #Fearless 2/N
As a math teacher, professor, and 15 years as chair of the math department at @VSUTrojans, Loretta Braxton mentored several generations of math students, many of whom became teachers + college or university professors themselves. #BlackAndSTEM 3/14
