An OP-ED by Founder of Black People & Cryptocurrency

Excuse me, Democratic Representatives Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Jesús García (Ill.), Stephen Lynch (Mass.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) — about that Stablecoin Act… Pushing this anti-blockchain legislation proves you hate Black people worldwide. Let me be among the first to say you have messed up.

Black Americans vote for liberal and Democratic candidates more consistently than any other demographic in the history of the United States. We consistently vote for what makes us most free and safe. As a Black woman, I have to state Black women vote more consistently for liberal and moderate Democrats than other demographics. If this legislation passes, Black People will be the most penalized because Black people have more to gain from blockchain and cryptocurrency technology than nearly any other demographic.

You do not understand this because you didn’t love us enough to ask Black people in blockchain/crypto what we thought. You show us that you don’t trust us. You don’t partner with us. You didn’t poll Black people in blockchain or cryptocurrency to ask those of us not chasing your coattails for government jobs (or trying to maintain one) how passing this act would continue global racial injustices causing death to Black people. You didn’t value nor respect us enough…
