“From where I stand, when core supports to programs like health care, medical insurance, affordable housing, food assistance, home loans and educational aid are bing reduced and or eliminated the message is clear. Survival is on us, and not a shared responsibility of our government and the people. Black people, this hits all minorities hard. So no, I don’t believe the federal government has Black people’s or minority’s best interest at hand. They need to do better.”
“No, I don’t. And the reason why, especially in the healthcare system, there is a disparity. People of color who have usually less income than the Arcarcas people. There’s a disparity in healthcare system. We get less care, we get, even I’m a breast cancer survivor. I do know people who have had regular insurance, people Caucasians, and then people of color, who have had state aid, they have did a botched on their breasts. They no longer have breast cancer, but their breasts are botched.”
And so I do think that there is a disparity. They’re just is. Even Trump says it.
“Absolutely not. Why? Well, our federal government was built on not having Black people’s best interest in mind in the first place. That’s why they passed laws of labeling us three-fifths of a human. I mean, we knew what it was from jump. We were supposed to get our 40 acres and a mule. Presidents rolled back our benefits, after the country acknowledged that we were not only an integral part of this country’s history, we are the founders, the original founders of this country.There’s no way they’re gonna have our best interest in hand.”
“Truthfully, I don’t think they’re doing too much or anything for us. Still struggling. We ain’t getting no help. Either way, goes either side, truthfully, you want to talk about it. to me, we’re worse off than where we were, and it’s only getting worse. And is it going to get any better anytime soon? Not while he’s still in office,
Hell, no.”
“Well, I mean, history tells us, and it keeps repeating itself, we don’t have much of anything, DEI is gone. They are trying to take away civil rights. I mean, they’re dismantling everything that we build, so yeah, no, they do not have our best interest in mind.”
“Democrats and Republican, none of them have Black people’s best interests at heart. What I’m learning about just government at all, they’re the rich, we’re the poor. So my perspective is, we need to change. And I think 2025 is bringing change. Our voices will be heard.”
