@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews Under your Turd Reich racist regime: Black Americans still continue to be concentrated in lower sector jobs, which do not have adequate healthcare or paid sick leave and have disproportionately exposed them to COVID-19. PPP from the Small Business Administration left Black

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews businesses out in the cold. Over 90% of Black-owned small businesses that applied for PPP funding were denied. This has led to over 40% of Black-owned small businesses being shuttered during COVID-19. For many Black people, Trump’s law and order rhetoric and dismissal of the

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews Movement for Black Lives unearths collective memories about his full-page advertisements in four New York newspapers including The New York Times, to crucify the now exonerated Central Park 5. In big, bold letters, Trump’s headline read: “Bring Back the Death Penalty.

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews Bring Back our Police!”While it is true that Trump signed the First Step Act, a bipartisan bill originally introduced by Senator Cory Booker as the Next Step Act that seeks to decrease recidivism and prison population numbers by providing more vocational training and work

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews opportunities for the formally incarcerated, the Administration’s Department of Justice has also taken steps which have undermined efforts to decrease racist and hostile encounters between Black and Brown Americans and law enforcement. Trump's regime has purposely halted

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews consent decrees and Department of Justice police department investigations. As a point of reference, the Obama administration handed down the most consent decrees of any president. If Trump was doing more for Black people, he would do all he could to ensure they have equitable

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews access to vote. Voting Rights is a cornerstone civil right that Black communities fought to secure. There are millions of Black people who recall not being able to vote. Black people’s right to vote has not been protected and many will be potentially exposed to

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews COVID-19 because of their distrust in the mail-in ballot process.COVID-19 has disproportionately killed Black people at double the rate of Whites. However, it could have been different. When Trump took office, he dismantled the pandemic response unit created under

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews the Obama-Biden administration. He also shut down the social and behavioral committee that helps inform the White House on how people embedded in social institutions like education, hospitals, prisons, grocery stores and restaurants, and neighborhoods might be disproportionately

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews affected based on their urban or rural environments. These factors are the main reason why, to date, nearly 8 million Americans have contracted COVID-19 and nearly 220,000 have died. In 2016, Trump asked Black Americans: “What do you have to lose?”

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews This is such an infamous statement that rapper @MeekMill put it in the opening of his recent song. Well, what Black people have to lose are their lives as well as those of their loved ones if stuck with four more years of a Trump administration.--@SociologistRay @DrKLG4Health
