@MsMelChen By voting "the other way", you invited Hate into the HOME! You opened the front door wide and asked them to step in! Do you want me to open your head and drive home the point?
@weekendcapehart @MariaTeresa stop the nonsense and be honest! Do you think economics is not the dominant issue for African Americans? They know that money if you can get it without federal protection of civil rights, without the government giving poor ppl a hand up/head start, is still nothing.
