Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has proposed a segregated coronavirus relief package that will reward “minority Americans” with hundreds of billions of dollars and exclude white Americans impacted by the economic downturn.
Fox News reported Sen. Schumer wants to appropriate $350 billion in funds for minority Americans to address “systemic racism,” however critics say the House Democrats proposed legislation will result in a form of segregation and further divide America by race.
The Economic Justice Act unveiled Thursday by Senate Democrats will “address systemic racism and historic underinvestment in communities of color,” according to Schumer.

The proposed legislation says it will offer relief to non-white Americans through “immediate and long-term investments in communities of color.”
WesternJournal report: Those investments include child care programs, assistance for small businesses, tax credits for renters and Medicaid expansion for minorities.
“Long before the pandemic, long before this recession, long before this year’s protests, structural inequalities have persisted in health care and housing, the economy and education,” the New York Democrat said in a statement, according to Politico.
“Covid-19 has only magnified these injustices and we must confront them with lasting, meaningful solutions,” he added.
On Twitter, Schumer called the bill “a needed step to address systematic racism and historic underinvestment in communities of color.”
Schumer’s Economic Justice Act, if passed, would use $200 billion in unused funds from the $2 trillion CARES Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump in March.
The bill would immediately spend $50 billion on daycare programs, $40 billion on health care initiatives, $25 billion for vocational and at-risk youth programs and $20 billion on support for small businesses.
Over five years, Schumer’s bill would allocate $115 billion to infrastructure, and another $100 billion on assistance to renters and home buyers, Medicaid expansion and assistance to expectant mothers.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has not yet commented on Schumer’s proposal.
Lawmakers are expected to take up another round of economic stimulus legislation in the coming week, however, it is unclear at the moment what such a bill would look like.
Forbes reported McConnell is expected to unveil draft stimulus legislation from Republicans and the White House next week when Congress reconvenes.
Forbes further reported that both Republicans and Democrats are in favor of sending out another round of direct payments to Americans affected by economic downturn amid the pandemic.
Any legislation would need bipartisan support to pass.
House Democrats drafted a $3 trillion bill titled the HEROES Act in May, but the bill was full of Democrat wishlist items, and McConnell stated the bill would not be taken up in the Senate.
The act was heavily focused on protecting the jobs of illegal immigrants and offered incentives to businesses that would hire them.
The bill also would have automatically extended foreign worker visas, as millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and would have released most illegal immigrants currently detained by immigration officials.

This racist cunt needs a bullet to the head immediately, as do all the racist cunts that think this is a good idea.
Haha As if hes doing anything except trying to buy black votes and create a race war from it just like Charles Manson said they wanted .You know Tex Watson, who really did the killings and led the girls, had worked with ROMAN Polanski on a couple of his early Satanic movies and had done the music for them .They weren’t strangers. Roman just happened to be safely over on ” Englands green and satanic shores ” when Tex and the girls were stabbing his pregnant wife ,the wife he forced to make porn movies with other guys wven when she was pregnant with his child while he filmed them .At the house where the beighbours said they didbt call the police when they heard all the screaming as the girls chased Abigail Folger around the yard stabbing her to death ,because they were always hearing screams and horrible sounds coming from that house since the Polanskis moved in.All good Democrats of course even then already steeped in satanism
