Where you live matters, shares @ItsLisaRice of @natfairhouse. If you tell me your address, I can tell you your credit score, if you're more likely to be incarcerated, and how long you are going to live #AtlanticHousing
@StetsonUng @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh Native Americans, Hawaiians, Blacks & Latinos were more likely to dies from COVID due to structural inequalities, ⬆️ percentage working in frontline jobs, ⬆️ of living in areas w/ no health care facilities, ⬆️ of underlying conditions (like asthma), etc.

@StetsonUng @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh I disagree with his statement but agree that centuries of racist & unfair laws have created deep inequities. Eg., Black children die from asthma at 300% higher rate than other groups bec/ they more often live in areas w/ high population due to unfair laws. I’ll share more.
@StetsonUng @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh Blacks and other ppl of color have always been more susceptible to hate crimes in this country. Where is your outcry against that?

@StetsonUng @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh I think you should listen to the entire speech before you start calling for people to be boogie men. We shouldn’t be pitting races against one another. His goal is to stop oppression and create a society where everyone has a fair shot at advancing themselves.
@dj1222333358299 @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh Who passed repatriation laws causing Latinos to lose land, businesses and possessions they had owned for decades, if not centuries?
@dj1222333358299 @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh Who implemented apartheid & segregation laws throughout the country? Who restricted Black ppl from being able to vote? Who kicked Black elected officials out of their legally elected offices? Who massacred hundreds of thousands of Black people during slavery & after the civil war
@dj1222333358299 @MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh Wait. It’s time for White ppl to start acting like other races? Who broke every treaty signed btw/ the U.S. & Indian nations? Who passed the Black Codes? Who made racially restrictive covenants? Who passed slavery laws & forbade Black ppl from owning land?
@MrAustinRogers @EricLDaugh It’s not okay. It’s not okay to be racist, bigoted, biased, or prejudiced against any race, nationality, or ethnicity. And I wish people truly believed this way. Sadly, the large # of ppl supporting racism on social media platforms shows this isn’t the case.
@StearnsNews@EricLDaugh Look up the U.S. history of slavery, or study slavery and oppression in India, South Africa, the Caribbean, etc. Just study world history. There are hundreds of examples where a minority of people dominated & oppressed the majority.
