      We discussed the infamous text exchange, why policy matters, why black people tend to vote for Democrats, the history behind our party loyalty (hint: we ain't slaves), and how we can remember our history and still be fly.

          The Obama black employment trend is a myth. Black unemployment was lower under the Presidents before and after Obama. In fact, Black unemployment was at it's highest in 50yrs under Obama. The number of Middle class jobs lost were replaced by Low-wage & part time jobs.pic.twitter.com/mjgpSdht6i

          The the high point of Black unemployment from 1990 to 2017 occurred in 2010 with a rate of 16%. The President?...not POTUS 41,42,43 or 45...yeah, the Fundamentally Transform America guy.

          From the Justice System to the Health System. We are in a constant battle with the Republican Party. If it helps the Minorities, they’re against it. If it helps the Middle and lower classes, they sabotage it like the “so called” Middle Class Tax Cut for the Rich. That’s How

          I ask"how" and you literally provide rhetoric. Maybe I should've said cite specific evidence Try this,ask yourself: Where are the Black population centers? What are the issues plaguing the population? What political party governs that population & for how long? Bet it's Democratspic.twitter.com/6OzDJVy2i3

          I suspect you can't actually reconcile the corporate bonuses and reinvestment with Pelosi and Schumer's rhetoric about "Tax cut for the rich". This may come as a shock, but Government doesn't actually create jobs, they regulate & administer; that's it. Businesses creates jobs.

          Government worker fill positions that developed based on need. Let me be more specific, the engine that drives the U.S. Economy is the Private Sector. Government jobs aren’t what drives national and global economies, they don’t exist to Make Profit.

          Agree 100%. Larry asks a simple Q below. There won't be answers except "they want to kill us" like Alethea proclaims. That's so far out there it reveals major work to bring people truth. If anyone wants to "kill you" it's Planned Parenthood.https://twitter.com/larryelder/status/990580282183970817?s=21 …

          The people who call the Democratic Party a “plantation” are the same ones fighting to preserve Confederate memorials & boycotting the NFL for the protesters getting too “uppity”. Oh, and they REALLY hated Barack Obama.

          And you’re gaslighting us all when you argue that the racism of Democrats 150 years ago outweighs the racism of Republicans 10 minutes ago.

          The only time Republicans were truly progressive on race, except maybe in federal hiring, was 1865-1877 and 1955-1965. And even then it was only northern Republicans.
