U.S. presidential hopeful Harris would spend $60 billion on historically black colleges
Reuters, Jul 26, 2019

Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris will unveil a plan on Friday to invest $60 billion in historically black colleges and universities if elected, the latest effort by the U.S. senator from California to reach out to black voters.

She will also release a plan to spend $12 billion on entrepreneurship programs aimed at the black community, her campaign said.

Harris is one of two dozen Democrats in a field led by former Vice President Joe Biden seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.

She has consistently polled behind Biden among black voters, despite her mixed heritage as the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India.

I cannot imagine the shrieking and sobbing if Trump said, "I would like to oversee a $60 billion investment in White Colleges" (which don't exist, but you get the point ...)
Never before in our country's history has a generation been so empowered, so wealthy, so privileged - and yet so empty.

I'd say that Mizz Harris be a racist!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

This will go over well with the other 87 percent of the nation.

This is a 100% racist move.  Where is AOC?

It would violate the equal protection clause, but Kammy knows only one principle, her lust for power.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I think we've seen this strategy before.

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

It's pathetic for her but a credit to black voters that all her pandering isn't resonating with them.

Exactly.  This chick's promise does smack of blatant racism.  But of course, no liberal or mainstream media phony journalist will admit it.    Only purebred whites are capable of racism, ya know.

Anyway -- this promise is one of many the 470 Democrat candidates for the presidency are throwing around now and they will be throwing around a lot more idiot ideas for the next year.  We are in election seasons where the promises and the stunts get more and more outlandish with every passing day.    I just sit back and laugh at all of them.  Hopefully, the voters aren't swayed.

How would it violate the equal protection clause?

Spending government money based on the racial makeup of the student body.  Any student attending a non- historically black college would have standing, as would any such colleges themselves.

Don’t think so.
