Biden wants to talk about broadband; the students want to talk about civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip.
Democrats tout a road-widening project along Interstate 26 in Columbia underwritten by Biden’s infrastructure program; the students are focused on “food deserts” that contribute to diabetes and obesity.
“In our neighborhoods, we have gas stations, fast-food restaurants and liquor stores. We don’t have access to the same food,” said Tierra Albert, a 19-year-old sophomore at Claflin. (“I don’t want to vote for either one,” she said of the presidential contest.)

Not voting for Biden because he isn’t throwing billions of dollars to subsidize grocery stores so the other guy can put people in power who think slavery had its benefits is not just the dumbest fucking thing they can, but its incredibly dangerous for them.

…wow look guys, another person who thinks black folks are ignorant of current events, using a paragraph to avoid directly saying it.
