The statement "I am on the side of Black America" is a subjective declaration of political alignment or solidarity, not an objective factual claim that can be verified as true or false. It expresses the speaker's stated position rather than a verifiable fact about actions, policies, or conditions.

Jim Strickland was mayor of Memphis until 2023 and is not in office in January 2026; there is no verifiable record of him stating "I am on the side of Black America." on that date.

The statement is a personal, subjective claim of political alignment and cannot be objectively verified as a factual fact.
