     There is a reason Nikki Fried was endorsed by the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida. As Commissioner of Agriculture & Consumer Services, she has been outspoken on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Her plans for Black Floridians – from economic justice to fighting for Civil Rights, and more – are as aggressive as they are necessary.

  America’s  archenemy  surreptitiously has always been itself. Before America won its independence  in  1776, it revered white supremacy and still does. This inhumane ideology waged  genocide  against  Native Americans  and enslaved  Black people for  246 years. Now it threatens to destroy America.

      President Biden never stops working, and when you think a bill is dead, it reappears with a new name. Initially the social spending bill last year was a $3.5 trillion plan that Senator Joe Manchin was not in favor, and it died many different times. But President Biden understands compromise, and getting something is better than get-ting nothing.

     The “Blue Vein Society” began as the freed slaves migrated north to cities like New York, Chicago and Washington DC. The lighter skinned freed slaves, mostly had a lineage to a White parents. This anchored the myth of being superior to darker Blacks.

While some say we need two more U.S. Senators so that we can break the chokehold of Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema, who vote with the Republicans on all issues, we must examine all the Senate races and throw our support into every state race where we find a candidate who will commit to our agenda. Remember, only one third of the Senate is up for election each election cycle. Just as in Georgia, we can make a difference.
