The Streets

A big focus has been put on reparations and rightfully so. We deserve it.

However another question is do you believe that any politician is going to do anything else for us?

I don't mean steps towards reparations or anything other than cash payments. I don't mean will that do anything for you as a black person.

I simply mean will they do anything that matters to you as a regular citizen of the country!

I can't think of anything. I don't really care about the abortion rights issues. While I care about universal healthcare I'm okay on health insurance and I don't truly think they'll act on it.

I care about increase in the minimum wage but I don't think they'll act on that either at least not on a federal level.

I really care about police reform. That's pretty much my chief concern even more do than reparations. I am 99% sure they won't act on that at a federal level either.

I care about gun control also but they have failed to act on that after the most horrible incidents so I have little reason to feel they'll act now.

Now if course they'll talk about all those things in an effort to get out the vote. When it comes to acting on any of these issues they'll do nothing.

So in short I've lost faith in our government at the federal level.

Do you think the federal government will do anything for us as citizens? Not as black citizens but just as citizens in general. Can you think of any other issues that you would like addressed or feel they have ignored?
