Harris targets black men with new economic proposals to boost support

Vice President Kamala Harris is targeting black men with new economic proposals after Democrats sounded the alarm over the critical voting bloc’s slipping support.

The Harris campaign came under fire recently for allegedly neglecting black male voters, an increasing number of whom were either defecting to former President Donald Trump or refraining from voting. Black male voters have widely felt neglected after President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid and endorsed Harris. They have complained that their concerns were met with condescension from the Harris campaign. With just weeks to go until Election Day, Harris is rolling out new economic policies targeting black men to win back their support.

Harris unveiled her “opportunity agenda for black men” ahead of a campaign stop in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Monday. The agenda includes plans to provide a million fully forgivable business loans for black entrepreneurs worth up to $20,000, increased training programs for black men to enter high-end industries, support for a program that helps black teachers, and increased studies of sickle cell disease and other ailments that disproportionately affect black men.

“This agenda is a further realization of Vice President Harris’ Opportunity Economy,” said former Democratic Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Harris campaign co-chairman, in a statement.

“An economy where people don’t just get by, but get ahead. Where Black men are equipped with the tools to thrive: to buy a home, provide for our families, start a business, and build wealth,” he added.

Harris also pushed heavily for federal marijuana legalization, a move that went beyond the Biden administration’s stance.

Sounds like an attempt to buy votes with promises. Those promises aren't worth the paper they aren't written on, but some might get played and fall for it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Harris Proposes Forgivable Loans to Black Male Entrepreneurs

Legal Insurrection by Mary Chastain Monday, October 14, 2024

Is this Harris doing damage control after Obama scolded black men for not supporting her?

Uh oh! 21 day panic! Time to promise voters everything in the world!

VP Kamala Harris unveiled the “Opportunity Agenda,” which proposes one million forgivable loans up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs.

The agenda includes the following (emphasis mine):

(1) Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.

(2) Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.

(3) Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.

(4) Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.

(5) Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.

Man, Harris has come a long way:

As San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, Harris oversaw over 1,900 convictions for cannabis violations, the San Jose Mercury News reported in 2019. Still, only a small number of those people ended up in prison.

Free money and drugs... is that what black men want?

Who's the "racist" here, Kamala?
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
