The Bare Minimum

The following is a growing list of reasons we should vote in our best interest and not put “Saving America from 45” on our backs.

·      The black vote can be the swing vote. That should not be a problem.

We really do not have anything to lose. Yes, 45 is a filthy, unintelligent, moralless, ugly, untrustworthy, racist, inhumane, power hungry, un-presidential, cheater but if we’re going to vote we might as well get something for it. It’s how politics work. No other community votes for nothing in return. We are currently the free space on the political board with BOTH parties.  Use the system for what it is. Don’t give the vote without something in return.

·      Juneteenth and Kwanzaa are not federal holidays in the United States of America.

June 19, 1865 is a pivotal point in American history. Why is my freedom not celebrated? Make June 19th an official federal holiday where the entire country is off from work (where applicable) with black content playing in on all media platforms.

·     Supporting the confederate states of America is unpatriotic yet millions of Americans are allowed to uplift a treasonous organization.

There are multiple schools, statues, parks, roads, and various other governmental properties  in the likeliness of Confederate Union members. The South chose to secede from the United States of America over complyig with the federal government. . Do you know the story behind West Virginia? A region of Virginia supported the Confederate States of America, while the other did not, the result? West Virginia. Supporting the confederate is unpatriotic and un-American yet millions are still able to fly the Confederate fly on American soil.

·     Adequate black History needs to be taught in all schools.

Enslaving black people is the most important part of American history. Free labor from our ancestors built the foundation of America’s “greatness”. America is the land of the possibilities because of black lives. Accurate black History should be included in all schools’ curriculum. Our history is American history.

·    We need black representation in branches of government.

 We need black representation in the white house. Create a “Black Affairs“ sector in Washington DC. With representatives in the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches. We need to prevent being silenced from this day forward(My vote is for President Barack Obama to head the sector.)

·   Investigations into all complaints should conducted by independent contractors.

      All police shootings need to be tried in a court of the victim’s peers. Complaints on police should be sent to the city council discussed at every meeting. funs Tax dollars pay the salaries, tax payers be the judge. All expenses will be be paid by police funds.

·      There are multiple people behind bars for possession of marijuana, free them.

Dispensaries were deemed essential business during a global pandemic. Free all that are currently incarcerated for marijuana possessions. 

·      We need one billion dollars donated to HBCUs annually.

·      We need free therapy for all black people.

·      We need extra funding for literacy programs for students and parents in schools.
