States in which both Senators voted NO on the #DebtCeilingAgreement but every House Member from the state voted YES on it:

- Louisiana

What’s weird about Nebraska is that its entire Congressional delegation is Republican.

And both its Republican U.S. Senators voted against the #DebtCeilingAgreement.

While all three of its Republican U.S. Representatives voted for it.
I made a few mistakes in putting this together. So I deleted some of the tweets and will repost once I am sure I have everything correct.

Define "systemic racism?"

My great-great grandfather was considered to be the legal property of another human being.

My great-grandfather had his newly acquired right to vote legally stripped away through Jim Crow laws.
Neither my grandfather nor my dad were legally allowed to attend the same schools as the white kids in their town.

My dad was legally paid less than his white colleagues, specifically because he was black. By company policy. They got first pick of positions and shifts. Legal.
My dad only got an opportunity to be treated equally because laws were created that made all the other previous laws illegal.

I came along after all of that.

But it still affects my life. The wealth my family was able to acquire over the centuries. What they had to pass down.

No one is above criticism. Not even the President. And there are areas in which any President, including Biden, can be fairly criticized for.

But …

When I think of some of the baseless, irrational attacks Biden has gotten from some quarters, I think back to this.
A third of the country still thinks that Biden did not legitimately win the 2020 Presidential Election. Despite all evidence that he did win. Doesn’t matter how much evidence you show or in what form.

Because … the insurrectionists wanted to kill his Presidency in the crib.
To the mostly right-wing pundit factories that influence many opinions, anything and everything he does is the worst thing that has ever been done. It’s always a disaster to them. Doesn’t matter whether inflation has risen or fell. Whether the jobs report is good or bad.

The late former Republican political consultant and former RNC Chair Lee Atwater once said:

“Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "[N-word], [n-word], [n-word]". By 1968, you can't say "[n-word]"—that hurts you. Backfires.

…
…

So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff.

You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse …
… than whites.

And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other.

America has two major political parties. Every President elected since 1868 has belonged to one of the two parties.

And one of the two parties, the GOP, has devolved to the point where a key part of its electoral strategy is hoping that Americans don't know things.
A good share of the elected portion of the Republican Party still hopes that Americans don't know the facts about the 2020 election. The fact that Trump really did lose and that the election was neither "stolen" or "rigged."

A lot of them really hope that Americans don't take a look at the differences in the death rates from COVID in the various states and realize that the states that took Dr. Fauci's advice had a lot fewer people die than did the states that listened to them.

Last month, the US saw the lowest unemployment rate for African Americans in US history, 4.7%.

This month, the rate rose to 5.6%. But it’s still the lowest black unemployment rate for a May #JobsReport in US history.

BLS.gov
Series LNS14000006
In only 4 of the 48 months of Trump’s term was black unemployment as low or lower than the current 5.6% rate.

In 08/2019, it was 5.3%
In 09/2019, it was 5.4%
In 10/2019 and 11/2019, it was 5.6%
We are 27 full months into the Biden administration and, already, there have been three months in Biden’s term so far which the black unemployment rate has been less than its current 5.6%

01/23 - 5.4%
03/23 - 5.0%
04/22 - 4.7%

I have a theory for one of the reasons that some on the right seem to have a deep and constantly growing hatred for Joe Biden. One that they can’t even really explain when you ask them.

It’s the same as one of the reasons they had an irrationally deep hatred for Bill Clinton …
Sure, there are political differences and ideological differences and honest criticisms about perceived job performance.

But besides all that …

There is a resentment toward these white men who have deep ties with and who have tried to do good things for black Americans.
I suspect that this resentment exists on top of all the other racial resentment that some within that group feel and barely conceal because of a sense of betrayal. Because these men come from groups which some of these people think shouldn’t do that.
