so strong, so obvious, so common as in on a daily basis, that were President Obama to overtly do positive things for the AA community it would bring about a level of hate and intolerance from white people unlike anything ever seen in our history.

Can you imagine were he to float the idea of true reparations?

Reparations are needed before this government spends one more dime on one more thing, by the way.

Children covered on their parents insurance until 26 and removing pre-existing conditions may not matter until we have a pre-existing condition but just may be important one day. Shameful the ACA is just thrown aside and some does not see it as progress.
