> Black founders captured just 0.42% of the $69.9 billion in U.S. venture capital deployed in Q2
From 1.5% in 2020 to 0.4% -- Given these statistics, it's rational for me to deprioritize VCs and focus my energy on funding paths where I face fewer systemic barriers.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.
Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

They’re going to tell you this is the comity and trust that makes the Senate special, and they very much expect you to take that as a positive.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

They really believe we vote based on race cuz they vote based on race.
That's why they did the finger wagging at the NAACP for not endorsing Winsome. It's why they ran Herschel. They sincerely believe we vote based solely on race. They support whiteness over all so they assume we will support any Black person running against a white person, regardless of policy.
