These are the thoughts and words of a man that I respect immensely and call mentor. If there’s a person that can explain a thinking black man’s position on the Biden administration with facts it’s this man. I will use his initials out of respect of his business relationships.

“Trump has mis-handled the coronavirus. I get it.
Unfortunately, Black Men (like me) have been fighting the "corona mass incarceration virus" for the last 30-50 years in this country and Joe Biden along with the Democrats have been the primary super spreaders.

I guess you didn't get the memo, please be advised with the below:
1. "Today, 6.7 million people are under some sort of correctional control, approximately 2.3 million are behind bars in jails and prisons, and 4.5 million are on probation and parole." Most of the referenced-

-individuals are disproportionately Black men. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

2. The number of state and federal adult correctional facilities rose 43 percent from 1990 to 2005. For a period in the 1990s, a new prison opened every 15 days on average." Black homies disproportionately fill these prisons. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

3. "1994: Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act put 100,000 more police on the streets and created federal economic incentives for states to make their own laws more punitive. This law also made low-income incarcerated people ineligible for Pell Grants to pay for higher-

- education courses.". This law created the militarization of police. Breanna Taylor would be alive today if police did not invade her home as if they were conducting a military strike in Kabul. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

4. "1996: The Prison Litigation Reform Act made it harder for incarcerated people to use the federal courts to protect their civil rights, and made it easier for prisons and jails to escape oversight of their operations." We are still living with the consequences of this today-

-as prisoners attempt to protect themselves from the coronavirus. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

5. "1996: The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act made it harder for wrongly convicted people to prove their innocence.". Innocent Black Men are dying on death row for no reason at all. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

6. "1996: The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, aka the bill to “end welfare as we know it,” also included provisions that banned, for life, people with drug felony convictions from ever receiving food stamps.". For the homie that got took down on-

-a 20-year lock-up for non violent drug offenses, when he gets out--after doing his time--he doesn't even get a morsel of bread to eat. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democrats.

7. "1997: The Adoption and Safe Families Act required states to move more quickly to terminate parental rights and place children who are in foster homes up for adoption. One side effect of this law is it made it more likely that any incarcerated parent with a sentence of at-

-least 15 months — even if their crime did not involve their children — could lose their children forever.". Once the homie is out, not only does he not have food to eat, but his family has been split-up and taken away. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

8. "1998: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 delayed or denied federal financial aid for college to anyone with a misdemeanor or felony drug conviction.".

The same homie has no food, no family, and the aforementioned Democratic amendments ensured he couldn't get an education to improve his situation. Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats.

It's now 2020 and Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats want my vote. I said all of that to say this: FUCK YOU JOE BIDEN, FUCK YOU KAMALA HARRIS, AND FUCK THE DEMOCRATS.

I WILL NOT BE VOTING OR SUPPORTING ANY CANDIDATE THAT SYSTEMATICALLY LOCKS-UP PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ME, TEAR MY FAMILY APART, AND PUT A TARGET ON THE BACK OF MY NECK.

SORRY.

LL TAKE TRUMP AND HIS MISMANAGEMENT OF THE CORONAVIRUS INFECTED A**.

WHEN THEY GO LOW (AS THEY HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST 30-50 YEARS), I SAY "FUCK YOU" LOUD AND CLEAR. I DONT PARTICIPATE IN SELF-HATE.”
