Time for a change

quote:

A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York confirms what far too many of us already know. Bidenomics is breaking the economic back of Black America.

The June report found that Black and Hispanic Americans are seeing higher rates of inflation than the national average. Adjusted for spending levels, the inflation rate for Black Americans was 0.2 percentage point higher than the national average. For Hispanic Americans, it was roughly 0.6 percentage point higher than the national average.


quote:

We have less money on average than other groups, and we spend more of the money we do have on things that are affected the most by inflation. Take transportation, for example. Gas prices and the cost of used cars have soared since President Joe Biden’s economic nightmare began, and the report found that Black Americans spend more of their income on transportation than white Americans do.

Democrats claim to care about minorities
But the June report is just the most recent set of data showing that under the Democrats’ latest reign, those they often loudly claim to care most about suffer more than anyone else.


quote:

We can’t keep going down this road. The Democratic Party’s reckless, economy-killing policies are driving up the prices of consumer goods and products across the board, while simultaneously preventing economic growth that could create more jobs for Black Americans. And make no mistake: This ever-worsening economy is the fault of the Biden administration, which seems to have gone out of its way to make inflation worse by stifling U.S. energy production and implementing policies that exacerbated, and indeed might be responsible, for the supply chain crisis.

If you have less money, inflation is going to affect you more proportionally.

Granted, this assumes that what is being spent is being put toward actual food shelter clothing etc and not luxuries.

How many times does it have to be said, DEMOCRAT POLICIES ARE TERRIBLE FOR MINORITIES AND ARE INHERENTLY RACIST!.



And yet most blacks will continue to vote Dem. Therefore........

“Inflation affects black minorities disproportionately”
“Roe v Wade decision affects black minorities disproportionately”
“Climate Change affects black minorities disproportionately”
“COVID affects black minorities disproportionately“

Yea yea…we get it.

Just insert whatever topic of the day, and yes, our black friends are the biggest victims.

Imagine being so dependent on racial division that you consider yourself a citizen of "black America"


ETA: or "white America" or "brown America" or "yellow America". There are no such places. Only "The United States of America"
Division, whether racial, religious, ethnic/cultural or whatever is an industry in this country. (Maybe other parts of the world, but you don't hear about it). The question begs to be asked, Who profits from this industry? When you can answer that question with honesty you will understand the real problems in this country and soon you'll understand how to fix those problems.

We know what life was like before President Biden took office, and we know how bad things have gotten – and how fast they got there – since.

It appears he's placing blame where it belongs, anyway. I think he's writing this to people to wake them up from doing the same ol' same ol'.

A mile-wide asteroid is expected to hit just east of Bermuda within the hour.

Blacks and women are expected to be affected the most.

The less money you make the more inflation hurts.

Even with broken backs they will still crawl to the polls to pull the level for the same Dems because the Dems say MAGA is racist...

And some Blacks will also still crawl to the drop boxes to stuff the boxes with fake votes in return for $10-40 per vote.

Definition of insanity applies here.

False. All part of the gas lighting you’ve been duped over for years.

Blacks don’t vote in great enough enough numbers to matter. The media and Dems tell you they vote 98% so when the filth steals their vote at a 98% clip they can point it out as a normalcy.

It’s not. The black vote is just easy to steal.

They better not mess with the 10 cents a gallon I save on gas due to being a straight, white male.

Inflation doesn't discriminate. Doesn't matter if you're poor white trash whose job is making bad decisions or you're a black single mom with four kids with four different dads.

The cash price vs card price at gas stations definitely is racist. They may as well call it the white price and the black price.
