Mayor Bass, the colors & style of the graphic you’re using is incorrect, & does not accurately represent #JuneteenthDay.
Juneteenth is an American holiday, celebrating the freedom of enslaved Negr0es in the United States. The official colors have been red, white & blue since… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Our #JuneteenthDay holiday has been documented for over a century, there’s enough documentaries & articles that provide enough information & historical context for all ages to understand.
“#WellsFargo agreed to a $3.7B settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over customer abuses tied to checking accounts, mortgages & auto loans, with some of the misconduct happening as recently as this year.”
“The company was ordered to pay a record $1.7 billion civil penalty and more than $2 billion to customers with 16 million accounts, the #CFPB said in a statement.” #WellsFargo
“"Consumers were illegally assessed fees and interest charges on auto and mortgage loans, had their cars wrongly repossessed, and had payments to auto and mortgage loans misapplied by the bank."” #WellsFargo
This was a show to “debate” callers’ #Reparations arguments. Not only do the hosts lack historical context on anti-ADOS discrimination codified into American law & the data, they believe we’re only owed $2.1T.
Every rebuttal was based on racist stereotypes & bootstrapper beliefs
A prev caller tried to quote Antonio Moore’s data on the % of Black immigrants in the US prior to 1965 & JT said he was very familiar w/ his work.
He proceeded to responded to almost every caller w/ anti-ADOS rhetoric & repeated how financial literacy is needed.🥴 #Reparations
Mr. Fletcher worked at the Crown Zellerbach paper mill & Mrs. #CynthiaAnderson was an educator in the St. Tammy Parish school system(& a #GramblingStateUniversity grad).
Mrs. Anderson saw how racial bias was infused in alt teaching methods after desegregation. #BlackHistoryMonth
The Biden Admin supported & increased the #police budget, while the media accentuates the “surge in violent #crime.”
This will disproportionately affect the Black community, as in #California we’re “3 times more likely to be seriously injured, shot, or killed by the police..”
In #California governor Gavin Newsom’s “Real Public Safety Plan,” it includes things like $255M in grants over 3 yrs to increase police presence in retail stores, a permanent Smash & Grab Enforcement Unit under the CA Highway Patrol & $30M in grants for local prosecutors… 👀
Last year I posted about the 5 suspects who were arrested, & the $80M in stolen merchandise recovered during a sting operation that busted the largest #retailtheft organization to date, in the state of #California.
