Elder advocated for giving parents options to send their children to schools they choose, be it public, charter, or private institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe polls show that the majority of urban black or brown parents want choice, yet they pull that lever year after year after year for the Democratic Party that has not given them the first step toward leaving poverty, which is a quality high school education,\u201d said Elder.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Elder said he does not believe in systemic racism, claiming a small minority of people in America hold racist views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho would have thought just years after elected and re-electing the first black president we\u2019d be talking about reparations or critical race theory? Are you kidding me?\u201d said Elder. \u201cSystemic racism is not the problem, and Critical Race Theory and reparations are not the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He blamed the \u201cwelfare state\u201d for high numbers of black children being born outside of wedlock, saying such policies \u201chave incentivized women to marry the government\u201d and \u201cincentivized men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Early Tuesday morning, Elder tweeted a picture from the event vowing to revoke mandates requiring face coverings or vaccinations if elected. He also said he thought there were \u201cshenanigans\u201d in the 2020 presidential election, \u201cBut it\u2019s time to focus on retaking the White House in 2024,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.9596541786744\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1) Do I believe there were shenanigans in the 2020 presidential election?
