[MeachTheMonster]

Black folks are destroying Kamala, Many can't stand her ass. she's not likable

Imagine being a Black man and voting along with that goofy ass cracker male on the panel.

If Kamala followed through on most of the bills her Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren co-sponsored would be a good start. Most were related to income inequality or reigning in Corporations screwing over everyone.

There was only like 1 Bill she sponsored specifically for immigrants on tech visas that I had a problem with.

To do that she needs both chambers of congress.

Are you telling me the below is not something that is needed for the Black community? I can bring up multiple articles and charts that support Black men not getting the health care they need from either trust in care, misinformation, or expenses.



● Launch a National Health Equity Initiative for Black Men. Vice President Harris knows that Black men face elevated risk of health conditions like diabetes, sickle cell disease, prostate cancer, and more. That’s why she will cap insulin costs at $35 a month and out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs at $2,000 for all Americans, bringing down costs for Black Americans—who are two-thirds more likely to have diabetes and are more likely to report rationing their drugs because of cost concerns. She will also expand preventative screening programs, including prostate and colon cancer screenings, where the risk factors for Black men are especially high. And, she will expand the budget of the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities, fully fund the Sickle Cell Data Collection Program, and build a sickle cell database to improve prevention and treatment. As part of this initiative, she will also expand access to mental health and substance abuse treatment and work to reduce the persistent stigma around seeking such treatment among Black men.

● Increase investments in HBCU and MSI medical schools and health care programs to train a medical workforce—including mental health professionals—that understands the needs and experiences of Black patients in the healthcare system. HBCUs and MSIs disproportionately produce the country’s Black doctors and other critical health professionals and are focused on addressing health care inequalities and building a more diverse workforce for the future.

● Protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act to ensure that the 1 in 4 Black Americans with preexisting conditions can keep access to affordable health care.

● Keep health insurance premiums down so that Black men and their families can see a doctor and get treated without breaking the bank

● Relieving the burden of medical debt, so Black men can take advantage of opportunities to build wealth and start businesses. More than 1 in 4 Black households report having medical debt, significantly higher than the rate of medical debt for all adults. Vice President Harris’ plan to work with states to relieve medical debt—the leading cause of bankruptcy in America—will disproportionately help Black Americans. She will also implement a rule that would remove medical bills from most Americans’ credit reports, enabling them to more easily be approved for mortgages, car loans, and more. Indeed, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimates that roughly 22,000 more safe mortgages could be approved annually as a result of this rule.

Sure it could help I guess,but doesnt seem preventitive to me. Letalong would it be a top priority. If there are black people over 40 who dont know they need to eat better as they are shoveling their jowls with garbage,I'd like to meet them. Like I said,the expense of eating healthy and limited time causes alot of the obesity(diabetes) issues in this country. And most of the leading issues for black death,are the same leading issues for all Americans. Not to mention 1 in 5 Americans have medical debt.



So this is actually one of those points they could,and need to address for all americans as its a societal problem. So for them to choose this as something to get "black specefic" about is ridiculous. Black death by gun violence in our communities is something to get more specefic about. Theres more gang members than people who have sickle cell in this country. Black youth being murdered,going to jail at alarming rates,our schools are an absolute failure. And they give us a plan about protecting our damn crypto,small business loans,dielabtes and weed. This is far more insulting than what people made out of what Obama said.


This definitely aint the shyt Obama was talking about was too important for us not to vote for Kamala. But apparently this is what Kamala and her team think is important to black men. Indiviualistic opportunities to help us chase a bag.


To think you can give black men a plan and not discuss our womens and childrens specefic needs is a slap in the face of black men. Weve been asking for a black agenda for a year and this is the thought they put into it?


Now am i not only convinced they wont offer black people an agenda or tangibles. Im convinced they cant.The disconnect is so great they dont actually know what black people need or truly concerns us day to day. They know what their boule elites and white liberal think tanks told them is important.#TheDisconnect #BouleButterBiscuits

Now guess who is complaining about why are black me. Getting these opportunities and that alone is racist.

I actually run a free community cooking and nutrition class specifically for black men.

Yes there is HUGE need for nutritional education in our community.

You’d be surprised how many men come to my class that don’t know how to prepare or even identify healthy food.

It’s a HUGE issue born by this countries racist legacy. We’ve lost a lot of what our ancestors knew about growing/preparing healthy food due to out circumstances in this country.

My class is made possible by money that was set aside for community health and wellness. More of what i do is definitely needed. Politicians will have to take it seriously and put money into the issue.

Doctors are not immune to this countries racist legacy. Efforts to educate them will be just as important as efforts to educate black men on their importance.

The issue goes both ways.


No. Regardless of lifestyle Black men have worse health outcomes.



How do you think those black men learned how to take care of their body?

Do you not see value in trying to spread that knowledge?



Only one ignorant here is you.

Using social media posts and views to shape your opinion

Again, your whole premise outside the crypto issue is that cause you seen black men online doing it, it means such and such is it isn’t an issue.

There’s just as many if not more crypto brehs on the internet as there are workout brehs. Hell even on this site, the crypto and investment threads get more burn than workout/nutrition threads.

So you gone have to reconcile why you feel views and posts are so important when it comes to some issues but not others

So in other words black people do KNOW they need to eat better even if they dont know how? Hmm,if only there was a way you could readily look up how to prepare meals and identif if a salad is more healthy than Popeyes? Your class is not NEEDED,the positive of it is the community aspect of it. The same black people who will tell you every food conspiracy under the sun will still be obese. They have made a choice,which as i stated is often due to finances and priorities. So without an agenda to make it where the choice isnt difficult,education wont help much. Because black people already KNOW the food/water the government gives us aint shyt. Ive never met a black person naive to this fact,or who this would be groundbreaking knowledge to.


As far as your link? So no,black farmers getting restitution cant make healthy food cheaper for black people. Its another individualistc policy that helped a small minority of black people,that does nothing for the black community at large. Policy change and investment over all would need to occur,and maybe it will. So far whatever they have done and are doing isnt working.


Those black men probably learned how to take care of their bodys through the internet. Im not using social media as a means to say it reflects reality at all. My point is I know that people have seen these things on the internet. And in fact are bombarded by health and workout channels,promotion of eating healthier etc. So my point is only that I know people already know. So your whole idea of "just educate them" is naive and silly. Once you make the CHOICE,the education is free and easy to find. Can your pockets,and free time support it is a different story.


And i just dont believe there are as many crypto brehs as their are people who constantly show themselves in a gym. But maybe you have stats of some sort to back that up. Either way i explained why thats a mute point.


People find a way to execute what they see on social media when they want to. Do you know how many women I see talking about they buying something,cooking something,or doing something because they saw it on tiktok or instagram. Guess they saw everything but all those workout regimines.If im wrong and any of you dont understand the value of fruit compared to g.m.o foods,or about melanin? Let me know,i have plenty of Natureboy videos I can link you too. But Kamala has far more pressing issues when it comes to repairing the black community#TheDisconnect

My class is a good thing.

Your contrarian musings only exist to make you feel better about yourself on the internet.

If “just log on to the internet” is the answer then none of this matters. Kamala should just stand up and say “log in to a Tariq Nasheed live stream, and google some videos about what you need, you will be alright nikka”


But if she said that, yall would get online complaining about how she don’t care about you.

Goofy ass nikkas

Black people get sick and die earlier due to poverty. Aside from FREE Healthcare, which she magically turned her back on, none of this will make much of a difference until food deserts, and people relying on cheap, processed garbage to live is ended. All the "health care" in the world can't beat a diet of instant Ramen noodles, contaminated canned goods and old, cheaply grown produce.

People living in poverty already have free healthcare.

Black people NOT living in poverty still have worse health outcomes.

Why are some of you so anti-information?

Literally everything in her proposal is about increasing money/wealth in the black community, so where’s the fukkin problem

Besides reparations what do you want right now?

Read his posts in this thread. He doesn't even care about reparations or anything else that could benefit Black Americans.

This is a lie. It tells everyone that 1) you don't pay attention to the things you claim to care about, and 2) the Medicaid expansion helped change those health outcomes.

I addressed your misinformation in another thread, which you and the idiots who always run behind you conveniently ignored.

I'll address it.

Here's why that is a trash argument: it completely ignores the fact that a lot of us support Democrats because they've delivered on issues that matter to us. We're talking about civil rights, healthcare, criminal justice reform, labor protections, and so on. The idea that we're just blindly loyal or being conned? It is a bullshyt insulting claim that robs us of our agency. That view ignores how Republicans actively block policies that would directly benefit Black folks, like student loan forgiveness for Pell Grant recipients, which would make a massive difference for Black borrowers. Or take farm relief, where republicans fought against a specific bill aimed at Black farmers getting their fair share, despite Trump giving 99% of aid to white farmers. And don't forget how they destroyed affirmative action and are going after other policies that address historic wrongs. They are also banning the teaching of comprehensive Black history in red states. Why no smoke for this when they have strong trifecta governments?

The idea of "letting them crash and burn" by not voting is just dumb, dangerous and reckless. It's just handing power to people who are actively making things worse for us. You are just giving a gift to the very people who are blocking progress. Sitting out is just ceding everything to those who want to strip away every right and protection that's been fought for. Y'all always bring up the disastrous crime bill, but want to ignore who's attacking its legacy, and who's trying to bring it back. I wonder why.

Further, let's not pretend Trump isn't trying to pander to Black voters in the most outright racist ways. He straight up said he would be more relatable to us now that he has a criminal record, and his surrogates have been talking about how his 'baby mamas,' and other ridiculously insulting bullshyt will make him more relatable to us. And don't forget, he openly celebrated low Black voter turnout in 2016. And his bullshyt 'Platinum Plan.' For whatever reason, y'all want to ignore or gloss over this.

Now, just because reparations haven't happened doesn't mean we aren't seeing any benefits from other policies. Broad policies like healthcare expansion and student loan forgiveness may not be reparations, but they still help Black communities in huge ways, especially where the Medicaid expansion is concerned. It disproportionately benefited Black people. It helped close the racial insurance gap, and helped millions of poor and working-class Black people gain crucial access to healthcare, including preventive care.

It's still being blocked in most red states despite the incentives the federal government is providing to them, and even though its been proven to be a benefit, especially for things like cancer screenings, diabetes management, and hypertension treatment, which are critical for improving health outcomes and life expectancy. Before Medicaid expansion, a lot of people couldn't afford basic medical care, which contributed to higher rates of preventable diseases in Black communities. It has also been linked to reductions in racial disparities in health outcomes, like infant mortality rates and maternal health, both areas where Black people have historically faced significant challenges. It didn't just provide insurance, it provided the means to improve the overall quality of life and longevity for many Black Americans. How can you downplay that? How can you not blame republicans for blocking this in the states that house the largest collection of Black people?

It is stupid to blame Democrats entirely while pretending Trump has nothing to do with the problems we face. You're just ignoring reality. If anything, Trump's policies, like his tariffs that hurt workers in Michigan (Detroit especially), did direct damage. You're not holding anyone accountable by letting the system "crash and burn." You're just showing how lazy you are. The real way to hold anyone accountable is to actually stay engaged, organize, and to vote strategically, not to sit on your hands. But again, a lot of you don't really care. You secretly support Trump, but are too afraid to say it out loud, so you push this nonsensical position.
