And there is a persistent, pernicious racial wealth gap that holds millions of Americans back, with the typical white household holding six times more wealth than the typical Latino family and 10 times more wealth than the typical Black family. How dare we earn money. We must be bad people for earning it. Quote President Trump’s words and actions have given safe harborand encouragement to bigots, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, and white supremacists. It’s time to root out domestic terrorism in all its 10forms, and pass a domestic terrorism law that is consistent with the Constitutional right to free speech and civil liberties. So you are going to pass domestic terrorism laws, because of Trump's *WORDS*, while protecting free speech. Does that anti-semite stuff apply to Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar? Quote Each year, the United States spends $23 billion more on schools in predominantly white districts 4than in non-white districts. Democrats are committed to closing the school funding gap by 5tripling Title I funding, which benefits schools that serve low-income students, and incentivizing 6states to adopt progressive funding formulas that direct resources to the schools that need it most. Question... are the people in those districts paying higher taxes to fund those schools? And where is the funding for Title I coming from? Did we miss the national deficit we're running? Quote We will root out systemic racism from our military justice system, where black service members are twice as likely as white ones to face court-martial. We believe that service members, veterans, and their spouses should never face deportation How are we going to do that? Simply let a black man that attacks someone, be allowed out free of charge? Or are we going to round up white people, and throw them into court-martials to make sure the percentages are what we approve? And why should they never face deportation, if they engaged in actions that deserve deportation? Quote Our counterterrorism priorities, footprint, and tools should shift accordingly, including to respond to the growing threat from white supremacist and other right-wing terrorist groups. Really? So those "White supremacists Right-winger terrorist groups" over in Seattle attacking officers of the law, and engaging in violence, and chanting “Every city, every town, burn the precincts to the ground”, you are going to deal with those terrorists? https://twitter.com/ShelbyTalcott/status/1287242362364637185 If the Democrats win in 2020, I don't have much hope for the long term future of the US.
