How about healthcare? Recognizing poverty as an issue in general, Trump has also helped a disproportionate number of minorities. Trump altered the Affordable Care Act to expand low cost, low coverage insurance plans meant as a stop gap plan. Obama allowed such plans for 3 months; Trump extended it to 3 years.
ey aren’t the greatest plans, but they are Obama’s plans. Trump insured a more widespread implementation and is simultaneously attacking prescription drug prices, which will also help. Sure, he wants a new healthcare act, but he sure as hell didn’t leave vulnerable Americans hanging in the meantime.
Then we can get to schools.
Trump is a champion of school choice. He believes children to be able to choose where they go and to be able to get away from systemically underachieving schools. Trump absolutely wants to give every poor or minority child the same range of education choices that wealthy families have.
The children who benefit from voucher and scholarship programs are mostly black in some major cities, like DC, or even Milwaukee.
While Trump aims to increase the number of black children who benefit from these scholarships and vouchers by a factor of double digits, Democrats decry that he is racist and incorrectly claim he does it to benefit the rich.
These Democrats are so against Trump that they are trying to stop underprivileged black children from attending well run, “white” private schools.
That’s pretty fukked up.
What about infrastructure? Do you know how that affects black and minorities, like it does all Americans? Oh wait, I promised not to get into jobs.
There's more that he's done, but what's the point?
Just know this, the conversation for socail injustice is reaching all time highs and reaching all time reach among sports leagues and especially businesses. There is discussion, support, and a real look at how investment can improve communities and how law enforcement can be better trained.
We haven't been to a pinnacle like this in a long time, and guess what, it's happening under a Trump presidency.
