That's because you suck at math. You have to look at those numbers as a
percentage of the communities they represent.

Those statistics support the triage decision.

 AT>  JT>  AT> "Black Lives Matter" murals aren't equity.
 AT>  JT> Sure they are. Black lives do matter.

No, it doesn't. It simply states that they matter. Anything you read into it
beyond that is your own racism talking.

Some people change. Some don't. That's just how it is. Biden has shown that
he has changed. Trump hasn't.

You're trying to read more into that than was there.
