Hey ya'll, It's taken me a while but I've finished my graphic slides for the Biden-Harris Administrations impact on the Black Community.

It's important to identify what the problems are how to target them, so I compare/contrast and point out areas of vulnerability. Slides below
Please remember, I have a limit of 2:20. The video is intriguing but it's better to read the slides individually.
I will post sources at the end of this thread for time purposes.
(1-3)
We as a community cannot solve our issues, without comprehending the problems. During the Pandemic, Black families and businesses were quite vulnerable. Along just about every metric the ARP improved our condition.

Not by lift all boats, but in a targeted Pro-Black way.
(4-6)
This administration did not simply protect, it also planned for our future. The IIJA targets much of the institutions and amenities that Black People work and utilize every day. Our future will be brighter because of it.
(7-8)
While the executive office is limited without the support of Congress, the Biden-Harris Admin has made great strides reforming and or repairing the damage done by its predecessor.

As far as education is concerned, this influx of aid to HBCUs and K-12 is only the beginning.
(9-11)
Much of this admin's executive orders have been focused around areas with a high percentage of Black involvement.

For my hoteps, FBA/ADOS, generally ignorant people, yes there are EOs that specifically says "Black/ Black Americans". lol
Use your vote. If this was possible with a slim majority, imagine what we could do with more.

This comment is so AMERICA CENTRIC. There are plenty of countries within the diaspora that have EXTREME instances of police brutality.

The UK doesn't have police killings like we do because we have ridiculous gun policy. Go to Brazil or Nigeria, police kill just like ours do.
The US also documents cases of Police Abuse a little more effectively than countries of lower socio economic status. That sounds wrong, but as many cases that don't get reported, so many more occur in developing parts of the world that are just not even acknowledged.
Make no mistake, we do have a problem. But let's make gravitas statements that underplay the severe instances of structural police violence towards an underclass population simply because we live in the United States.

Also the UK has police brutality too. Just few guns.

Hey ya'll, I made a VP Harris Portfolio video. She has done a lot, I needed 17 slides to squeeze info in, so please understand that the video is for fun, the slides are for usage. Theme is 90s dance.

Thank you @tify330 for that thread on her portfolio. Her work is my basis.
Again, I know it's quick. That's why I post the slides under. This time they're a little more watermarked. My sole purpose is making these is to make sure people my age and younger, as well as the Black community understands that their vote is changing things for the better.

As Senator, Kamala Harris introduced the Clean School Bus Act of 2019.

This Act gives
- $2 M in grants for schools to replace diesel buses
- $1 B over 5 years to fund a Clean School Bus Program.

Thanks to her work as VP, we secured $5 B over 5 years in The Infrastructure Bill.
This is important for the environment and the health of low income children specifically Black and Brown kids.

95% of US buses run on diesel fuel. Accounting for 5 M tons in green house gases. Exposure to such fumes is linked with low test scores and poor respiratory health.
By investing in this energy transition we are reducing our carbon imprint by also protecting the safety, health, and education of our children, especially those disadvantaged by class or historical racial bias.

And no, it’s doesn’t fix everything but it’s a major step.

Hey ya'll. It's the 1st day of Black History Month and seeing as a racist ex-congress woman and a defeated press secretary turned grifting podcaster threw shade at the 1st Black Woman VP & SC Justice...

I'm uploading the video format of my previous fact checks featuring them.
I have a time limit of 2:20 seconds for videos. You will need to pause it to read. All the sources are there. As usual I will post the slides below.

These 5 major fact checks are 1 of dozens of lies spewed on Harris's name, and I'll likely craft more in the future. Image

All these anti immigrant spaces have a common trend.

A small cohort of loud Black Americans who think EVERYONE else is getting something but them.

And that every immigrant, non Black female, lgbtq person, latin american, etc is somehow living it large and getting support
The truth is the Black electorate of our country has made HUGE momentous strides both economically and politically. And with every cycle our presence and helpful laws are coming to fruition
The idea that a policy needs to be LABELED, STAMPED, and CAMPAIGNED on, as Reparations in order for it to be beneficial to the Black Community is the silliest and most counterproductive conspiracy within the far reaches of echo chamber.
