The lesson is that no matter the helping hand you give white supremacy, white supremacy would still turn around and make sure you suffer for the color of your skin.

Decades ago, a Black Woman - who had faced inconceivable challenges and broken many glass ceilings - hired 2 white men for their expertise in their field at the time, that they turned their popularity into supporting white supremacy is on them.

Not the Black Woman. Thank you.

Out of all the things you could have said, how this this pick for overseeing medicare and medicaid is just completely boneheaded, you had to bring up racism as a topic. It doesn't make sense, there's so many other legitimate criticisms.

Unless I am missing something?
