D.C. has the widest racial wealth gap in the US, per new WalletHub data: white residents earn ~64% more, Black poverty rate is 374% higher. Nationally: $250,400 median wealth for white households vs $24,520 for Black. Policy can close this.

We need to have an honest about Caribbean, Afro Latino and African people moving to immigrant enclaves in America, bullying each other and then blaming Black Americans because they don't recognize their bullies are also children of immigrants.

For any Black American who is still on the fence, I hope this was sobering for you. You are perpetually guilty, not only in the eyes of whites but in the imaginations of people around the world irrespective of creed, color & nationality. Make peace with that and move accordingly.
When we talk about slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, and the toll they have taken on the Black American community, we have to include mass immigration too.

The Haitian Americans be so quick to write articles and books worth of words for Black Americans for any little thing, yet nothing on this??

Because when Black immigrants and ADOS are lumped into one statistical category, differences in economic outcomes obscure the depth of ADOS poverty and lack of wealth. Different histories produce different outcomes. And if you believe I’m wrong, let’s disaggregate and find out. Why be opposed to it???
Disaggregation isn’t division but how we expose policy failure and demand redress. There is no road to reparations or redress without an accurate accounting of the harm and y’all aren’t a part of that accounting. You’re not the harmed group. That’s ONLY ADOS. Black immigrants need their own category because we are not the same. I don’t even see why there’s disagreement here. Why cling to us with so much ferocity?

Instead of addressing how immigration drives down wages, paves the way for the gentrification of Black American neighborhoods, and the anti-black biases many immigrants exhibit, many people have simply chosen to label anyone who brings these issues up as xenophobic

The Democratic nominee will go around assuring white people that they won't do any of this.
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

About 96% of Black-owned businesses had no paid employees in 2023. Owners and contractors can still earn income.
What may help more owners hire?
