And i want him stripped of all power and held accountable for everything he’s done to strip away our rights and liberties, which has resulted in incalculable pain, suffering and death, but here we are.
You need to listen to some podcasts or read about him, the guy is wild. He thinks taking away all the ladders and assistance from black people are doing them a favor. He thinks other black people are lazy, and he only got to where he is in life on merit alone.
Dude fails to see all the support and even racial equity laws that helped get him the education and networks to where he is today.

The high court’s 6-3 decision on Thursday effectively gives state lawmakers a roadmap for discriminating against Black voters when drafting congressional district boundaries, as long as they can say they were targeting their party affiliation, not their race.
In its monumental 1954 decision in Brown v Board of Education, the Supreme Court sought a “boundless view of equitable remedies” through “extravagant uses of judicial power” to end racist segregation, according to Justice Thomas.
“Drawing political districts is a task for politicians, not federal judges,” arguing that the court’s “insistence” on hearing cases involving racist voter suppression “led it to develop doctrines that indulge in race-based reasoning inimical to the Constitution.”
Last year, a federal court tossed out South Carolina’s map after finding that the state’s First Congressional District – currently represented by Republican US Rep Nancy Mace – violated the Constitution by using race as the determining factor when drawing its boundaries.

In Thursday’s decision written by Justice Samuel Alito , the Supreme Court’s conservative majority argued that the complaint from the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP relied on “circumstantial” evidence that Republican state lawmakers used race when they drafted its congressional map.
