Black Lives Matter activists are pressuring Democrats to embrace the BREATHE Act, which includes a section requiring a “roadmap for prison abolition.”
“The BREATHE Act is a legislative love letter to Black people,” BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors wrote in an op-ed for Teen Vogue on Thursday.
...
In making her pitch for a meeting with the forthcoming administration, Cullors said that Black people had “saved the United States.” She said that the Black Lives Matter global network had direct voter engagement with over 60 million people.
“What is abundantly clear is Black voters tipped the scales in favor of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, especially in Rust Belt battleground states. It’s a testament to our communities that the same people who have been treated the worst by our democracy still showed up to save it,” she wrote in her op-ed.
Reminder regarding the underlined... Trump got the most non-white votes by percentage for a Republican since pre Civil Right legislation. The count was stopped and they added votes in the middle of the night.
It won't be Biden making the decision. Or Harris...
If you poll black folk, especially in high crime neighborhoods, they want the police. They do not have the means to protect themselves.
The worst thing happening to black folk is BLM eliminating the viewpoints of black individuals and treating us like a heard of cattle.
A new Gallup poll, conducted between June 23 and July 6, shows that 81% of black people want the same amount or more policing in their neighborhoods, which breaks down to 61% wanting the police presence to stay the same and 20% saying they would like an increased police presence.
...
The American public as a whole supports the policing status quo, with 67% of U.S. adults responding in favor of current policing, including 71% of white people.
...
The poll was based on a web study completed by 36,463 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of 1.4 percentage points.
You can read the actual proposal on the Breathe Act's website. It's an interesting read, you get a sense of the grievances the African American community holds. It is very aspirational, but it needs a lot of work to make it a practical plan.

It's amazing how uneducated these voters are. They have no understanding of what they voted for and what they voted against. They exemplify the stupidity that racism breeds.

It's not all African Americans. BLM is Marxist first.
Criminals need to be dealt with with the goal of decreasing crime. This is not about some reparative action to repay past grievances... we need to protect people that can't protect themselves.
Biden = compromised. In several ways; cognitively, and by the demands of the people/groups/movements who now have their hands out, expecting something in return for their votes.

Are you thinking of "perspirational"?
