AOC And Boyfriend Riley Roberts Share Tips For White People On 'Combating Racism'
AOC and boyfriend Riley Roberts discuss tips for "combating racism as a white person"https://t.co/LahjyfZs5X pic.twitter.com/SQrTtVHiOd— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) February 8, 2020
From the New York Post:
"I think it’s helpful and important to talk to other white people about racism, and I think a lot of people, they don't want to be racist," Roberts, 30, offered as Ocasio-Cortez sat beside him. "They don't think that they're racist, but they also don't know some of the things they believe or say are and can be racist."
Their web chat didn't offer much about what the couple defines as racist, or who gets to decide what is and is not racist. Roberts suggested telling racist white friends that they were not racist, but merely held "wrong" opinions.
"One of the effective ways is just to talk and kind of help teach them about why some of the things they believe or say or think are wrong — not necessarily racist — but that they're wrong and that will sort of chip away and contribute to some development in this area but not necessarily take somebody from being a racist to not being a racist in one conversation," he said.
Really solid stuff.
Could we get some tips from Ilhan Omar's white boyfriend next:
President Trump will propose massive spending cuts, tax cut extension in upcoming budget
The Trump train steams full-power ahead
President Donald Trump will unveil a budget proposal on Monday that outlines the direction of his administration in a second term, including spending cuts totaling more than $4 trillion.
The budget will dramatically decrease foreign aid and social safety-net spending, while increasing funds for NASA, Homeland Security, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The proposal also allocates $2 billion for the border wall, while slashing the Environmental Protection Agency's budget by a whopping 26 percent, the Wall Street Journal reported.
In total, the budget proposes $4.4 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade.
More from NBC News:
That includes $130 billion from changes to Medicare prescription-drug pricing, $292 billion from cuts in safety net programs — such as work requirements for Medicaid and food stamps - and $70 billion from tightening eligibility rules for federal disability benefits.
Trump's foreign aid proposal seeks $44.1 billion in the upcoming fiscal year compared with $55.7 billion enacted in fiscal year 2020, an administration official said.
