Trump officials are focused on immigrants, but the Department of Health and Human Services report on healthcare fraud doesn’t even mention them.

Black voters are the most educated and INTELLIGENT voters in the country. That is why we didnt vote for Trump in ANY ELECTION! We battled to get EVERYBODY the right to vote so we don’t throw our votes away on bullshit candidates with the political instincts of a colonized gnat.

Apple workers could have gotten $4 MILLION each over 8 years. Instead, Apple spent $650 BILLION on stock buybacks. Shareholders got rich. Workers got nothing. This isn't investment. It's theft. Tax the rich.

since that man gave Cheyenne a PhD in Theocentric Psychology, what made up field would you like a PhD in?

Being Black and community oriented (also known as normal) is weird because I’ll call someone my sister or brother or cousin or wife or whatever (no actual relation) and be so confused why white people are confused with me. Dude, there’s no way you think I’m related to all these people? Fr?

I haven't seen it anywhere today, so I guess ill bring it up. It was 10 years ago today that Baltimore police murdered 23yr old Korryn Gaines and also shot her young son, who survived. Names like Korryn Gaines are why the #SayHerName movement began, as Black women's names are often forgotten

Good job on this interview!
