Trump: We will have a vaccine by next Thursday

Welker: Who’s making it?

Trump: Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Astrozeneca, Robotussin, Clorox, Vicks Vape-o-rona... Everybody!
Trump: I take full responsibility for coronavirus but it’s not my fault, it’s China’s fault. But it’s my responsibility...What does responsibility mean, again?

Trump talks about closing the border to China like Al Bundy talks about his four-touchdown football game in high school
Trump talks like someone giving a book report but didn’t read the book because it was “massive.” He knows the book “very strongly.” In fact, he gets along very well with author, who’s probably a Democrat, but he’d blow away every book report if he wanted to. Especially Hillary’s
Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than Trump, except for the election interference, the tampering, the murders, Ukraine, Putin, the KGB, the hacking and the secret meetings.

He’s tough on Russia like Ice Cube is tough on him.
Wow. The Trump healthcare plan sounds phenomenal! No individual mandate, preexisting conditions covered, private premiums will decrease, you can eat candy and you not gain weight, you’ll be immune to COVID!

Where can I read this plan? Why does congress keep voting against it?
Why does Nancy Pelosi refuse to approve the damn coronavirus stimulus bill that passed the House 3 times?

“Different places are different.”

Donald J. Trump
Did this motherfucker just double down on “murderers, rapists and bad people” again and..

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT DID THIS RACIST MOTHERFUCKER JUST SAY?
When he says “no one has done more for black people besides me and Lincoln,” who is supposed to believe that besides Diamond & Silk?

Oh...And Shuck and Jive? (That’s my nickname for Jason Whitlock and Van Jones)
You know what a white man who was “the least racist person in the room” would do?

Me either.

Everyone I’ve ever heard say that phrase was racist AF.
Why does every discussion on race focus ONLY on criminal justice reform?

You know who didn’t commit a crime last year?

98% of black people.

(Before you ask, some of those people committed multiple crimes, were arrested multiple times or were eventually declared innocent)
They let a Black woman moderate the debate and guess what we got?

An actual debate.

Did y'all see those lines yesterday?

For years, I've been arguing that we shouldn't refer to institutional race-based discrimination as "racism" and yesterday was a perfect example of this.

The correct term is "white supremacy."

A thread.
First, you have to understand how America is set up.

The Constitution isn't racist, it's a manual for setting up a white supremacist state. Even the founders who were against slavery believed Black people were inferior humans.

Tanke Thomas Jefferson, for instance:
Even before he wrote that BS about "all men are created equal," he was purchasing human chattel to rape and enslave. He said Africans were "as incapable as children" and called them "savages."

But he wanted to abolish slavery because he loved America.

Also, he was scared AF.

This is not surprising to me. You can't teach 6th graders about "liberty and justice for all" then tell them their country started a race war

Nah, not the Civil War

The war against Black people in 1919 had MORE BATTLES than the entire Civil War

A thread:
First of all, let me say:

I don't know how many people died.
I don't know how many incidents happened.
I don't know a lot about 1919 because NO ONE DOES. People are still putting it together.

I don't even like the term the "Red Summer"
The term came about because people started using a collective term for a bunch of separate "riots." But there weren't a bunch of separate riots. It was all one thing.

First, you gotta remember when this was, It seems like an entirely different era than the Civil War.

First of all, anyone who says I didn't vote in 2016 (or any state, or local election since I turned 18) is a whole liar.

My job has never been to advocate for a political party or group. Let me be clear, I am a partisan. I am beholden to 1 constituency:

Black people.
The narrative that black voters didn't vote for Hillary because they didn't care or don't understand how the Supreme Court works is intellectually dishonest and reductive.

The Democratic Party's reluctance to stand up for black people is DIRECTLY TIED to their assumption that
Black voters are going to vote for Dems even if they do nothing to help us. EVEN IF they do harm to us.

While you may think that I am one of these entitled "blue checkmark" MFs, I ain't shit but a dirt poor nigga from SC who grew up in what muhfuckas called "the hood."

I've received a lot of hate mail and DMs yesterday from people who saw me on MSNBC

Asked about Donald Trump's racial philosophy, I said: "Donald Trump sounds like a white man." I am not above admitting when I've said some stupid shit (and lord knows I have) but...

A thread:
First of all, let's be clear: The Republican Party is a WHITE PARTY. No Democratic President has won a majority of the white vote in 50 years. White people are 62% of the population but 81% of the GOP.

And EVERY OTHER nonwhite DEMOGRAPHIC IN AMERICA votes Democrat
Maybe the Democratic Party has figured out a special technique that hypnotizes dumb poor black people. Everyone knows we don't wanna work because we want gov't "handouts."

But no one seems to be able to answer 1 question:

Why doesn't it work on poor, uneducated whites?

Whenever we talk about reparations owed for the free labor of enslaved people, someone will inevitably argue how few white people owned slaves.

But it's Labor Day, so let me show you how everyone in America profited from slavery.

A thread:
First, we have to remember that the first Americans came here to escape religious persecution, which explains why this country is founded on liberty and freedom.

HAHAHAHA

That's just something we tell kids when they're young enough to believe stupid shit.

It was about money.
The Jamestown settlers were actually owners and employees of a joint-stock company called the Virginia Company of London.

What was their purpose?

Well, aside from money, they wanted to civilize the "infidels and savages"

Their get-rich-quick scheme worked because of slavery

People should stop saying how many people police kill each year. Or, if you want to throw out a number, preface it with “at least” because, the truth is, no one knows.

What’s crazier is how many AREN’T counted

(A thread)

Take Breonna Taylor, for instance.
The incident report lists her injuries as “none” and...
Actually, that’s it. If it didn’t happen in a city like Louisville, that’s all we know. One of the most understood stories is how often police lie on police reports and MOST media outlets will relay these reports as fact
What does this have to do with statistics?

Well, almost all the stats you hear about police killings come from media reports, which come directly from police reports, which always contain lies.

For instance , Dijon Kizzee reportedly “dropped a bundle that contained a gun”
