Barack Hussein Obama ( @BarackObama) doesn’t give a shit about Black people. Not once has he uttered the words Black Lives Matter in a positive light, or AT ALL on Twitter.
In 2014, my family wrote a letter URGING the Obama administration to look into my brother’s death, because the local police and Texas Rangers mishandled his case. He was missing for 18 days and found dead… He had clearly been tortured, his teeth were pulled out, throat cut, etc.
The local police morbidly joked and made racist remarks about my brother and family, and even openly talked about the case of my brothers disappearance and death to their close family members. We thought they had something to do with his lynching and STILL DO TO THIS DAY.
My parents wrote letter to the FBI, and the Obama administration and we got no call backs. I myself even called the local FBI because I was distraught about the death of my brother. Especially after they ruled it as A DRUG OVERDOSE!
THIS is what radicalized me. That was when I saw that this place was warped and evil. The fact that my brother, a physical therapist who graduated Magna Cum Laude, had a beautiful wife, and was the father of 3 amazing boys was relegated and defined as a “drug taking thug.”
This is why I fight! Because my brother deserved better than what they did. He was killed by racism in the boonies of Texas, and now I’m going to do whatever it takes to make this country a better place. I will either run for Congress in 2022 or take @tedcruz’ seat in 2024!
Recently I, along with many other Bernie delegates, helped transform the Democratic Platform of Texas with the most progressive platform in Texas history. Medicare For All, Abolishing ICE, moratorium on deportations, Green New Deal, legalizing weed & more https://texassignal.com/from-medicare-for-all-to-divesting-from-police-funding-texas-democrats-now-have-the-most-progressive-party-platform-in-state-history/

This was the last photo we took together with our older brother. (He’s in the middle, I’m on the far left.)

Here’s the song I dedicated to him while I was on @AmericanIdol
