It isn't Black & White - Episode 15

Gabe and I sit down with two amazing people, Courtney and Muhammad, to discuss just what in the fudge is happening in terms of race, CRT and "white privilege" right now.

We touch on BLM as an organisation, Klantifa (as Courtney calls them!) and the agenda behind dividing us and pitting us against one another.

We discuss what is TRULY affecting the black community and why the narrative is spun in the way that it is. We really, really loved this episode and we feel that

it's one you can share far and wide and to all of your friends who don't quite understand the sinister agenda behind what the elites are doing to cause further division.

Things that Trump has done for the black community that you may not know:

- The average number of new women-owned businesses opened per day reached a record level in 2018, surging to 1,821. The number held steady in 2019, a year that saw an average of 1,817 businesses owned by women open per day.

New businesses owned by black women represented the highest rate of growth of any group in the number of new firms between 2018 and 2019. Indeed, black women accounted for 42 percent of net new women business owners, in 2019 which is three times their share of the female population.

- The town of Flint, Michigan, which the Census Bureau says is roughly 54 percent black, suffered a sad saga of lead-laced water for years. The crisis began in 2014. Barack Obama was president. The disaster burgeoned under decades of Democratic Party supremacy.

It wasn’t until March 2017 when President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $100 million grant to fund projects to replace Flint’s bad pipes. There were various bumps in the road, like in any big government project. By the spring of 2019, Flint’s water system was mostly fixed.

-The Trump Administration struck a $1 Billion deal to provide HIV prevention drugs free to 200,000 uninsured Americans every year for the next decade

- The poverty rate for Black Americans dropped to an all-time low in 2018

- In May 2017, President Trump promised “unwavering support” for the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). In December 2019, President Trump signed a bipartisan bill, known as the FUTURE Act. The law permanently reauthorized hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for America’s 102 historically black colleges and universities.

- The First Step Act (FSA), formally known as the Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act, is a bipartisan criminal justice bill passed by the 115th Congress and signed by President Donald Trump in December 2018. The First Step Act, among other changes, reforms federal prisons and sentencing laws in order to reduce recidivism, decrease the federal inmate population, and maintain public safety.

- The Trump administration created opportunity zones. There are currently 8,761 designated opportunity zones in the U.S. and its five territories that nearly 35 million Americans call home. The average poverty rate in these areas is 32 percent, compared with the national rate of 17 percent.

“For decades, job growth and investment have been concentrated in a few major metropolitan areas. This has created a geographic disparity — a very big one, in many cases — where some cities have thrived, while others have suffered chronic economic and social hardship,” said Trump. “With opportunity zones, we are drawing investment into neglected and underserved communities of America so that all Americans, regardless of zip code, have access to the American Dream.”
