I am an advocate for Black people because as a Black American, that is my priority. When advocates for other ethnicities advocate for themselves, no one ever asks "Well, what about Black people?"

It is not my or any other Black person's job to advocate for any other group. Yes, poverty exists within all groups so those groups must take up the mantel for their fight.

Black people are the only descendants of human beings who were enslaved on AMERICAN SOIL. There is a huge debt that remains unpaid and it is directly tied to the enslavement of my ancestors and the lack of equality and opportunity given to them that continues today.

This is not an anti poverty law. This is REPARATIONS to atone for one of the most heinous sins in history. If you want to discuss anything else, I am not the person you need to seek out.
