Again, which is why I said half, and linked to the source.

I'll reiterate, this is a very Mastodon response.

None of that money should have gone to cops, cops' salaries, jails, tasers, budget shortfalls or anything other than helping the Black people suffering disproportionately from Covid. None of it.

Maybe you think that the way the money was spent was fine. Which is OK to disagree! But my point is that most Black men absolutely do not think this is fine, and this is why Black men don't like Biden.

And don't confuse "90% of those that voted, voted for Biden," with "Black men like Biden." Giving this money to cops, during the pandemic, after the George Floyd protests, is trash behavior. Black people are not going to vote for this in sufficient numbers to win an election.
