Even with Biden's win, many organizers are continuing the fight for equality
ABC News / Disney ^ | December 5, 2020 | By Jade Lawson

Even as many Americans celebrated Joe Biden's election win, some Black Americans and people of color knew work still had to be done.

"Americans feel like we won a war," Toni Sanders, an activist based in Washington, D.C., told ABC News.

"We were in the negative and now we're back at zero," she said, referring to the transition of power from President Donald Trump to President-elect Biden.

Many Black Lives Matter activists say they fear America's strides in fighting racism and social injustice could regress in this new administration.

Erika Wilson, an associate professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said Biden's victory could be deceiving.

"Instead of saying, 'I voted for Barack,' it'll be, 'I voted for Biden and against Trump,' as the new measuring stick for saying that one is not racist," Wilson told ABC News. "Going back to normal for Black people looks a lot different than it might look like for other folks in the sense that they're not reminded daily through the president's tweets or comments of America's very close connections to racism and white supremacy."

She added, "'Normal' is a wealth and wage gap, health disparities, extrajudicial killings by police officers. That is the baseline of 'normal' for Black people in America."

“Even with Biden’s win...”

Has Kamala Harris resigned her Senate seat yet? She must not believe that Biden has won.

She hasn’t. A guy at my office pointed this out to me yesterday. I take that as tremendously good news.

All the real issues with blacks started with the Obama regime and were actively pushed in the last four years.

President Trump gave blacks jobs and hope.

Obama/Biden gave them handouts and inequality and riots.

Nobody believes that Biden won. They believe that he can take it - by illegal, unconstitutional means. These people want any constitutional leadership. A state in which they can lie, saying Biden ‘won’. Why would people allow them to take over?

They are slowly waking up; that Trump improved even slightly with them after four years of accusations of racism is telling.

I've traveled fairly extensively in Africa and have interacted with more than a few “native” Africans. I can guarantee that every one of those Africans,if allowed to come here, 1) would kiss the ground when they arrived and b) would be far,*far*,better,harder working,Americans than most of this country's blacks!

Did you think they were going to stop? That once the election was over, we’d all join hands in unity?

This professor is a clueless individual, and is "teaching" people in class. None of this is accurate at all. But yet she believes it, and is teaching it in class, at a taxpayer funded institution. I guess it was lost on her the dramatic improvement Republicans made this election with minorities as increasing numbers of them learn this stuff is a lie. In addition, the wealth of lower income earnings disproportionally improved under Trump and Republican policies...while the wealth gap grew under Barack Obama for blacks and whites under Dem policies. So voting Democrat is not what you would do to correct these problems.

“Social justice” means taking every cent from those individuals who earned their money legally and giving it to individuals who don’t like to work.
