Biden extends legal status of nearly 1 million immigrants covered by program in Trump's crosshairs


Biden gave 1 million immigrants an extension to temporary protection status as a parting gift.

He gave Black Americans this…


This is what happens when you don’t have serious people representing you.

It’s a nice symbolic gesture for some but nothing tangible.


Got damn you’re a dumb ass. I guess you forgot all about the bag they gave to black farmers..but of course that doesn’t count because yall didn’t get any free checks

Garvey was a foreign grifter, outside of a flag what did he exactly do for Black people?

He's been dead long before any of us were born, what was his tangible legacy?

Garvey never even visited the continent of Africa

Marcus Garvey was a bytch ass tether that wanted the Afro Caribbeans and Black Americans to focus on not being oppressed and instead wanting them to oppress each other and exploit Africa with the colonizers :scust:

Oh, you're serious? How? In Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro is the Governor and a Zionist with presidential aspirations. In Georgia, Brian Kemp is an unabashed racist. How do you influence that?
Lyndon B. Johnson was an unabashed racist as well as Abraham Lincoln and most peckwoods to some degree

Circumstances can force people's hands to do things they wouldn't normally do. In the case of anything black people receive in this country, it's only gained if white people have something in it for them

What that could be in the case of someone like mumia or Jamil al amin? I can't say for sure

But we can't act like a deal with the devil is unprecedented

Or are Republicans the only ones that can make their opponents kiss the ring? :unimpressed:
