Yes, I know that there's no use in pointing out the facts to Jemele Hill because she's a complete moron and a professional racist whose grift depends on seeing racism everywhere and in everything. That being said...
Her post brought to mind this clip of Van Jones from 2018, in which he praises the Trump administration for its efforts on criminal justice reform.
Guess who Van Jones said was trying to stop the reform efforts...Progressives.
Surely Hill thinks that the criminal justice system is racist. Also, surely she voted for Joe Biden in 2020, a man whose one signature accomplishment in 40 years was the mass incarceration of black men via the Biden Crime Bill.
Let’s just be honest here: Donald Trump has zero interest in improving the lives of Black folks in this country and has never been serious about helping our community.
In policy, deed, action and rhetoric, he has proven this repeatedly. Just last week, his administration launched an investigation into the programs Wells Fargo instituted a decade to increase Black home ownership. Does that sound like someone who is open to changing course about how he has treated our community?
His nonstop attack on DEI programs, federal budget cuts that had a disproportionate impact on Black federal workers, censorship of Black history or outright removal of Black historic figures, cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and SNAP — does any of that sound like someone who is willing to change their approach?
He got exactly what he wanted out of this dinner. He ran right to the media to brag about how much celebrities like him. He wanted to prove his power and how much people are dying to have access to him.
Congratulations, he did exactly that.
How many times are y’all going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe?
