So cities that are predominately black like Baltimore will always have higher rates of poverty and violence do to the lack of infrastructure and redlining. Minorities are finally getting a decent shot to earn some financial wealth over the last 15 years in a hand full of democratic cities in the U.S. Please remember Tulsa, OK and Black Wall Street! Quick history lesson for you.

The nuances of the argument, which is key, is what Corbic typically fails at recognizing.
For instance; yes, the detention centers were built doing Obama's term. However, the nuance of the argument is,
it was NOT built based off the policy of the Obama administration ACTIVELY pursuing, participating and drafting up policy to FORCE family separation. The centers were built for children who crossed into the US, as unaccompanied minors and acted as as a (required by law) 72 hour holding until the child is transferred to HHS and until the parents/guardians of the minors could be located.
That nuanced portion is a KEY separation of the Obama era detention centers and the ACTIVE policy of the current admin.
However, that point is forever lost to one line zingers, shitty talking heads ala a ESPN style panels and just overall shitty misinformation campaign which foster division, racism and just down right lies.
Which is also why I do not bother to post here as although it forces me to go in search of all the non citation opinions posted by Corbic, I simply do not have enough time in the day to run down every single false narrative.........or can stay as angry as Corbic. It's simply unhealthy
Also, which is another nuanced argument which fails to get mentioned; The CONSTITUTION makes is lawful for ANY immigrant who is seeking asylum to not be classified as an illegal immigrant. Often times, they are just lumped in with the folks who come here without such a designation. This is key, and what most fail to recognize. The CONSTITUTION allows it, however, people only reference the Constitution and their own interpretation when it fits a their own narrow specific narrative (see the most inane interpretation of 2nd Amendment)
I digress...
