Someone needs to run on abolishing the CIA.
Congrats on the hire.
This. I saw an article a few months ago about this - will link when I come across it again.
So biden should put nothing but white folks in his cabinet
That's not what people are saying at all - you're being disingenuous. African-Americans who are actually "about something" would be nice to have in the cabinet, people with an agenda to help the Black community, a backbone, some semblance of decency, etc.
Biden is choosing a diverse cabinet of technocratic bloodsuckers, remnants of previous failed regimes, centrist bootlickers, etc.
Why would you want Biden to pick Black people who are just going to hold a gun to our collective heads - in the name of "diversity."
Lets be honest, there are those in TLR who will complain about whoever Biden appoints no matter what position because they are Trump supporters and mad that Trump lost.
It's not that deep. It's not deep at all. In fact, most of these posters never said anything political on here until Trump was elected. Many came in around the time Trump was elected. TLR has a massive Trump fan base and it's showing in this thread right now as I type this
Check my history - this doesn't have anything to do with Trump. Choosing a Black imperialist just because they're Black isn't going to make me glad. Its like y'all nikkas ignored Malcolm X, Paul Robeson, James Baldwin, and your own common sense after Trump was elected.
"All skinfolk ain't kinfolk" should be ringing like an alarm in your ear right now. The man has spent his entire career literally subverting African interests in favor of US interests. What does he do for any of us?
What policy is it distracting from?
Both have. There's a long, storied history with the CIA.
The CIA worked to undermine the Black Panthers.

The CIA killed Black leaders of African countries - who had connected with Black leaders here in the US. Ghanaian independence? Congolese independence? Angolan independence?
