    Biden is dividing the country even more with Coronavirus Relief Prioritizes

    Biden Coronavirus Relief Prioritizes Funds for Non-White Business Owners as restaurants and venues owned by white men will be last in line for federal relief under President Joe Biden?s ?Restaurants Revitalization Fund? (RRF), prioritizing funds for women and minority groups first.

    The relief, is being prioritized based on race, gender, and whether or not business owners are considered ?socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.? White men, for example, who are not Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, are not eligible for ?priority period? processing and funding.

    As part of Biden?s American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Small Business Administration (SBA) is opening the application process by which owners of restaurant, bars, and other venues can apply for federal relief to help make up for the loss of revenue as a result of economic lockdowns spurred by the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

    How is an article claiming white men are getting hosed not in and of itself divisive? Seems to be putting things in a light specifically to inspire feelings of resentment in the unlucky readers.

      The POTUS has yet to make a speech that does not involve race. Its starting to backfire as I'm hearing more and more of the "brown community" try to disassociate themselves from it all.
      They don't like being shoved into a political minority they have worked so hard to get out of. They don't like the current reception they now get among people who don't know them. They say its getting worse the more the media and politicians try to lump them into the radical elements.

        I love it -- if you're getting hosed and you complain, it's all YOUR fault.

          Come On Man,

          everyone is trying (supposedly) including the POTUS, to bring us all together,
          peace, love, harmony between every diverse one of us

          and yet those in charge, including the POTUS, that is supposedly asking for, or working towards this change and peace/love/harmony exempt the white guy,

          unless the white guy is a transgender, woke, or gay, then maybe, there is no issue,,,


          it's called hypocrisy,, and those 'demanding change' are often full of hypocrisy

            I do agree that the equity messaging is getting overdone, but mostly through editorial choices in the media. The idea that whites are somehow getting screwed is to me just knee-jerk without facts. Buttloads of Federal money is going to farm county, to red states. Same as always.

              Buttloads of money to farming States? Only if they are black farmers! Biden is giving welfare humanoids more and more money leaving out the others who have suffered during the pandemic. Media coverage is always democratic controlled in most cases.

                Aside from the looks of the individuals, I can't tell the differences between small/family American run farms and what's now called black farms. Same land, similar equipment, same or similar crops etc.
                Until very recently they were all American farmers. They all had similar hardships and the same subsidies.similar failures and simiar successes.

                  That white men are getting hosed is a fact, and it causes resentment to mention it?

                      I wonder what the Venn Diagram overlap is between people who complain about Biden being not unifying enough, and the people who share those email messages about they know what a jerk Trump is, but they vote for him anyways because of how much the Libs hate him.

                          I'm going by that "letter", which was posted here a few times over the years, IIRC, and speaks directly to the topic of 'unity'. But to your point, angry, unhappy people found many reasons to vote for Trump. How many of them desire any form of unity with the larger county I cannot say, not being included in the set of angry Trump voters.

                            I have heard it said that Biden won because fewer people hated him than they did Hillary. T/F?
