The last 2020 Presidential Debate

The debate is finished. The moderator of the debate of the debate was Kristen Welker. This debate started with a discussion about the coronavirus. Trump claimed that it will go away soon. Trump said that 100 million vials of vaccines would be soon created. Trump said that he is immune from the virus. Biden disagrees. Biden is using stats and studies. I always mention that in any debate, use stats and figures. You can use humor and similes, but always show your receipts. Biden said that he has a plan to address this crisis including rapid testing, national standards, and encouraging people to wear masks. Trump and Biden debated each other about Russia, emails, and China. They basically accused each other of financial corruption. Trump had dealings with Russia for years, so he was lying. Biden said that Trump has not released a single year of his tax returns during his Presidency. They debated about foreign policy and North Korea. They also debated about health care too. Some of Trump's biggest lies in the debate are about his views on health care. The truth is that Trump wanting to end the ACA will cost 20 million Americans to end health care. Biden wants a public option added to ACA. Obviously, Biden is a moderate, so Trump lied and said that Biden wants socialized medicine. Many people have lost jobs, therefore they no longer have their private insurance. Trump lied and said that a public option would harm Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Biden and Trump debated on relief legislation. Trump and Biden also debated each other on immigration. 

Trump allowed babies ripped from their families and Trump is allied with the xenophobe Stephen Miller. The kids came in with their parents. The conditions in those camps under Trump were horrible. Trump also doesn't have a plan that has successfully find the families of over 500 children separated from their parents. Biden admitted his errors on immigrants while saying that he wants a pathway of citizenship for over 11 million undocumented immigrants. Trump made many lies about race too. He said that he has done more for black people since Abraham Lincoln. Trump omits that police brutality is a serious problem in America. Biden has said that institutional racism is real. Trump has denied that institutional racism is real.

 

Trump said that he can't see the audience because it's so dark. You can't get more racist than that. Trump lied and said that BLM supported the chant about bacon when BLM is against police brutality. Trump hypocritically criticized the 1994 Crime Bill, but Trump agrees that the Central Park Five are guilty to this day when the Central Park Five are innocent. Not to mention that Biden admitted that the Crime Bill had many mistakes in it. The Crime Bill had evil excesses in it that contributed to ruining the lives of many black families. Trump's friend Rudy Giuliani supports stop and frisk. You can't have it both ways. Trump never addressed the talk that black families have had about policing. Trump saying that he is the least racist person in the room is another lie from Trump too. Trump and Biden debated on climate change too. Trump is an anti-environmental President by repealing 85 major environmental regulations, ended the Paris Accords, and allowed oil companies to have massive tax breaks. For the record, fracking should be banned. Over 50 million American votes have already been turned in. The debate didn't talk about Trump wanting to not necessarily commit to a peaceful transition of power of his coddling of far right wing militias in Michigan (when these groups were involved in a coup in trying to kidnap the Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer). Also, the debate didn't touch on the extreme views of Amy Coney Barrett (who refuses to answer easy questions like if climate change is real or if voter intimidation is illegal. Climate change is real and voter intimidation is definitely illegal). The moderator Welker did the best moderating performance this year. Trump certainly disrespected Welker.

 

That is why I have more respect for Arrested Development, because they don't fake who they are. They are what they are. Many of these Trump supporting artists promote music all of the time promoting gun violence, drug addiction, and criminal activity, but they claim to be positive and support Trump. That is an oxymoron. They make themselves look bad. These agents could care less about black people or black empowerment. They just want corporate sponsorship. These same hypocrites don't say a word on people's Medicaid, Medicare, financial aid, and public services being cut, but they want us to vote for a racist liar like Trump.

 

Ice Cube has been on FOX Soul with women and on Roland Martin's show. Many people are shocked at Cube's views. Yet, I'm not. No one should be shocked at many celebrities and musicians either supporting Trump or wanting to have dialogue with Trump. Cube (who is a capitalist who loves his enterprises) said that he doesn't support Trump, but he wants a dialogue with him. Ice Cube had to retract the false claim that he got Trump to give black people $500 billion in capital, he admitted that he declined a meeting to Kamala Harris, and he didn't research Biden's black agenda plan.  The Opportunity zones of Trump's platinum plan will primarily benefit equity funders, big business leaders, and the wealthy. That is why Jared Kushner (who made 160 million dollars last year) is evicting tenants over $800 rent during a pandemic. Many (not all) of these musicians put up a fake image of being down for the people and for the cause. Yet, some of them become rich, move out of mostly black communities, rap stereotypical, plus colorist nonsense that degrades black people, mock the poor, glorify violence against your own Brothers and Sisters, and side with reactionary people like Trump. These people are only promoting their class interests which is the super wealthy and reactionary people like Trump. They don't care about the collectively advancement of all black people. Many of them could care less about black people collectively which is why some of them have self hatred and worship whiteness disgracefully. That is why they say overtly that they only worship or lust after the bag (or money), they could care less about anyone but themselves, and they don't trust anyone for the most part. That is their mindset of selfish individualism. So, we shouldn't be shocked at many of them coddling a racist like Trump (who was funded by Wall Street interests for decades, and Trump wants to eliminate many legitimate environmental regulation even desiring to have radioactive waste on our roads which is highly dangerous). You can't expect some of these musicians (not all) to glamorize violence, misogyny, drug abuse, and anti-black language, then claim to be some revolutionaries. Capital for rich can never save us. Only a radical redistribution of economic and political power will cause liberation truly for humanity. To keep it 100, much of the modern wealth that America has now was acquired by the exploitation and harm down to our black ancestors and the genocide of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. That wealth was acquired originally by greed and destruction. 

Therefore, we are entitled to have compensation via reparations and other actions. You have to have a plan to address housing, poverty, education, the environment (which refutes their nonsense that only capitalism alone can save us), and other important issues. Consumerism is not going to end racial and economic inequality. Only a comprehensive plan that deals with massive government intervention, power given to the people, and other policies will do. Working class people, poor people, and freedom loving people of any class should vote against Trump. Therefore, we always have a minority of traitors in our community who want to minimize the destruction that the Trump administration has done to the world. I already voted. I voted for democracy, justice, and a change from Trump. I voted to witness the first black woman being Vice President. I voted to end the Presidency of a racist. Also, we salute the black men and  black women fighting the Nigerian police brutality events. When these Hotep liars and far right people (like the Hodge Twins, Tariq Nasheed, Kanye West, and others) saying that no black politician now is trying to fight for us, remind them that Congresswoman Lauren Underwood is fighting for veterans with her Veterans' Care Quality Transparency Act.  The hip hop artist Waka Flocka said that Trump did more for black Americans than Obama. That is a lie. Unemployment, job rates, health rates are worse now than at the end of the 2nd term of Obama. Obama is a million times better than Trump. The big lie is that these Hoteps said that Obama did nothing for black people. I have my disagreements with Obama on many issues from his foreign policy matters to his moderate views on others issues, but he did many things for black Americans like: investing in HBCUs, passing the Fair Sentencing Act, and giving some compensation to black farmers (who were victims of racial discrimination and oppression in general). Styles P talk about being cozy with Trump when he said that his white friends can call him the n word, and he does nothing about it. DJ Envy doesn't like Biden's tax policies, but the super rich never paid their fair share of taxation for years now. According to Politico, the White House is considering slashing millions of dollars of virus relief, HIV treatment, screenings for newborn and other programs in Democratic led cities (made by of heavily black populations). We desire solutions not pro-Trump nonsense. Now, it is time to build, to fight for change, and to use our self-determination to advance the general welfare of our society.
