A poll from South Carolina shows high approval for Joe Biden's handling of the pandemic but lower marks for immigration and gun violence. Lawrence Nathaniel, founder of Black Lives Matter South Carolina, expresses a desire for more direct help for low-income neighborhoods. The segment questions the efficacy of the administration's promises to the voters who saved Biden's primary campaign.
A historical clip from the 1960s declares that Black Americans are "just about out of patience" with asking for humanity. Mo Facts reflects on how he thought he was past the era of state-sponsored discrimination, only to see it return via "vax cards" and mandates. He credits his "sixth sense" for allowing him to prepare for his job loss before it happened.
Mo critiques Dr. Carl Hart, a Columbia University professor who claims that heroin use can be managed responsibly. Mo argues this is a dangerous narrative that ignores the reality of addiction seen on Skid Row. He concludes that the common denominator in the Floyd case, the homelessness crisis, and the pandemic is the unchecked power of the pharmaceutical industry.
