Oh my goodness are you dumb. Have you stepped a foot in america. Native Americans are not black Americans. Native Americans are the red indians. This is their land. I’m really shocked at how stupid that answer was. Have you seen a red indian before? Common dude huge difference between black Americans and native Americans. Please google pictures of a Native American. Pls don’t say that in America ppl will look at you like your crazy codemaniacs: J111333 is correct...
native Americans are black americans...

You can’t possibly tell a tax preparer what they experienced everyday. 80% of ppl didn’t receive more than $20 cut... simple google search thebosstrevor1: I know you don't want to admit that you received lot of tax cut.
You claim you didn't have tax cut but this is the rules of the tax cut and people benefited from it. |

Congratulations you did a google search The house first votes on all bills in America. The final vote was 95-4. Once the senate votes it cannot be changed unless the president vetoes it. Again another google search would confirm this thebosstrevor1: Lets get the facts right.
The Senate initially passed the bill by a 95-4 vote; the final conference report vote was 61-38, with just two Democrats voting no. The House passed the final bill 235-195, with nearly three times as many Democrats supporting it as opposing it.
President Bill Clinton had to meet with the CBC to garner enough votes to get the bill over the finish line. The Baltimore Sun reported on Aug. 18, 1994, that at least three members of the caucus had switched their votes after meeting with Clinton at the White House. Before that meeting, “10 of the 38 black Democrats in the House voted against him when the crime bill, in an embarrassing setback for the administration, failed on a procedural motion. They were protesting the application of the death penalty to 60 more crimes.
I hope you know many black leaders were against the bill. |

Lol I don’t have any victim mentality. I live a blessed life, I have a degree and I’m getting my masters . I have my own stuff and I’m still very young. I have white friends and we get along fine. Don’t assume to know me dude. Fact is black ppl work harder to get promoted here. Yale was literally sued for accepting white ppl with lower marks than black ppl. Yale accepts a white man with 75 score but declines a black boy with 85 score .... that’s a race issue thebosstrevor1: Indeed, my comments are based on movies. Anyway, i am suprised this is coming from you.
I have an idea of race relations, don't tell what i don't know.
I am sure you have lot of victim mentality.

My whole family earns very well and we still didn’t receive tax cuts. I work for tax company the tax cut was a scam. I had ppl calling me pissed because their taxes weren’t decreasing like they expected . $2 decrease is not a decrease. $2 can only buy bread thebosstrevor1: They did except you earn very low.
This is how it works.
top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%
The lowest bracket remained at 10%, and the 35% bracket was also unchanged.
If you earn from $0 to $9,700, your tax doesn't change, it is still 10% |

Go do research dude there’s no such thing as original black Americans .... America belonged to the native Americans . Omg you claim to know so much about America but you don’t even know the simplest history J111333: Did you say WE?

Again you just proven you know nothing about how America works. Before you can build affordable housing aka projects you need city officials to vote.if they say no then you can’t build affordable housing in that neighborhood. For example I live in a white neighborhood now and they have rejected all plans for affordable housing. They rejected a train station because they believed it would bring more black ppl to the neighborhood. Ppl have asked my family how a black family was able to get a house in this white neighborhood. So a lot goes into building affordable houses in a white neighborhood. America has laws and rules that must be followed J111333: Another lie. Democrats have kept more black people in "projects" which basically means modified jails and guess what, they are innocent blacks and not convicted criminals that the Republicans sent to jails.
It's also on record that Democrats have deported more immigrants than Republicans. ICE under Obama deported more immigrants and separated more families than under Trump but no one talks about it today. |

Last time I checked 95 to 4 was the vote which means republicans and democrats cane together to vote. Also last time I checked black community leaders had discussions with Biden asking him to create a tough bill because the crime rate went up by 40%. Also the black BB congressional caucus supported the bill. All these different black groups did interviews before the election defending Biden and talking about how they pressured him because they needed to fix the community. If you want to blame Biden for speaking to black leaders and supporting a bill that black community leaders supported go ahead thebosstrevor1: My point is simple and clear Democrats have sent lot of black people to jail.
Joe Biden crime bill signed by bill clinton alone created alone the mass incarceration of black people in the history of America |

I work for a tax company dude so you can’t teach me about American tax laws. I do people’s taxes every year. Google TurboTax we the biggest tax preparer in America. So it’s laughable that you think you can teach me about a law I see almost everyday . Dude use sense. We go back and forth with the irs every year because of these laws J111333: I live in Ogbomosho but if an error in taxes that has brought about taxcut of over $100 in a monthly paycheck which will be over $50 when calculated biweekly for over a year now then the IRS must have been full of dummies.
I tell you again. Stop watching too much news and stop relying on Google for simple answers since you live and work in the States.
Also, the significance of tax cut will largely depend on the amount in the paycheck. |

Again you don’t live in America so you have no idea about race relations sure you can have an opinion about politics but your opinion does not matter to us here. But you can never have an opinion about race until you live here. You comment based on movies . It’s a known facts that blacks have to work twice as hard than white counter parts thebosstrevor1: As long as America interfere with Nigeria and as long as anerica is the world power, everybody has the right to know about their political stands.
You don't have to live in America to understand America politics.
So how do you think international politics and relations works?
Also, People of colour do not have to work hard as whites to gain a promotion, if you are good, you will gain it, stop blaming racism |

I know how people outside of the states view the connotation but this is American and we habillé accept the term just like South Africans call mixed ppl coloreds and it’s offensive to the world but it’s a sense of pride to South Africans.. every country has terms that they use that may be offensive to someone from another country but when you in that country you need to use the right terms. When in Rome you act like the romans emkz: I have experienced racism first hand, but it is not the object of our discussion. Please re-read and assimilate my submission you responded to. If your submission is American racism, then you are right.
I am sufficiently informed in these matters. I think you and I are arguing in the same lines, but you want to push the "living in the States" narrative to elucidate your point. My argument is hire people because they are qualified, not because they are black or white. Since you live in the States, can you educate me on the origin of the term "people of colour"? While at it, please read these two articles and be informed on how people outside the United States view this connotation.

You said you want to teach the dude American history, but you ended up talking only about Joe Biden and what you feel he has done to deserve his win (cool)
But then, you are accusing him of reading from bias outlets........
But don’t you think for your American history to be tilted towards just The liberals, it portends your bias also and if he accepts it, it means he’s learning from your own personal shaping of the political landscape over there which is based on Democratic ideologies |

You live and work in America so why do you need Google to tell you what you see everyday?
If not for black immigrants in America, ordinary Indians sef would've relegated black Americans to the back seat in America long time ago.
Go to research institutes and great schools and count how many blacks there, deduct black immigrants and see how many black Americans remaining.

Y definitely watch Fox News because what you stated has been proven untrue... Biden lived in Scranton Pennsylvania until he was 12 and left when his father lost his job in the coal mines. He grew up poor. Then his family moved to Delaware. thebosstrevor1: So because he moved to delaware that means he supports black and latina.
Btw, Biden was raised in delaware suburbs. You know who lives in the suburbs-white people. |

Dude do you really live in America? If you did you would know Social security and Medicare tax was never changed. If you saw a deduction then there’s an error in your taxes. Only 20% of working Americans said they saw a change of over $50 extra money in their paychecks. The remaining 80% saw no significant change J111333: I don't know so much but I saw a significant drop in taxes and SSA deductions in my paychecks since Trump pushed the tax cut policy.
If the deduction is just $20, then you might wanna check how much the person earns because it's PAYE. |

For years ppl have been hired based on color and not qualifications. Biden is hiring ppl of color with similar qualifications to their white counterparts. Take university was recently sued because they where accepting white ppl with lesser marks than black kids . They now have to pay a fine. Race issues are very Clair in America. If you don’t live here you won’t understand it. That’s why you opinion does not matter. You cannot talk about what you hv not experienced personally emkz: My sister, I don't live in the States, but I am not unaware of race issues therein. The crux of my argument is that they should be hired because they are qualified, not because they are qualified AND of colour. You argued along the lines of qualified blacks, but I am saying they should be treated equally and not specially. There is a movie I watched on Netflix (Something New) that highlighted this subtle racism which you alluded to in terms of loans, work environment, et al. Having also spent 12 years working abroad, these divisions are subtle, let us acknowledge them.
You describe blacks as African Americans, Chinese as Asian Americans, Latinos as Latino Americans, while others are American Americans? Are they not ALL immigrants or children of immigrants? At what point do they become full Americans? My submission is for these divisions to be abandoned so that Americans can embrace their "oneness" if it exists. |

Rev al sharpton supported it Kwesi mfuime supportes it Out of 40 black congressional caucus 28 supported it.

Please go learn more before teaching me something that we learn in history class through out school thebosstrevor1: Living in america does not mean anything. You just want to inforce the opinion that you know what you are writing down but you don't.
Black Americans and leaders were against the bill.
Joe Biden crime bill— extended the death penalty to 60 new crimes, stiffened sentences, offered states strong financial incentives for building new prisons, and banned a range of assault weapons—helped lead to the wave of mass incarceration that’s resulted in the United States accounting for 25 percent of the world’s prison population.
