I really don't see how you can spin this. I mean you could stop at forgivable loans.

To smart dumb nikkas that's like a PPP loan that you don't have to go to jail for.

Meanwhile Trump will say I'll get rid of the immigrants in Aurora But you live in Atlanta.
Facts. These dudes too caught up in trolling and YouTube university to realize a good opportunity waiting for them

Read through the entire plan on her site. I'm not mad at it.

Her plan mentions making it easier for Black men to get Federal Gov jobs. As a Gov employee, this is huge.

Small business loans forgivable up to $20. As a small business owner this is huge.

Job pathways.

Financial support for BLACK farmers.

Yeah, I didn't like that. They should be warning people not to get mixed up in that shyt not promoting it.
Do you think Crypto is some kind of temporary game? Damn near every analyst on earth has said it should be treated as a commodity, Bitcoin specifically (precious metals, oil/gas, etc). fukk around and get left behind (for the 2nd time) if you want to...

Why do yall just talk without ever knowing anything?

I hate saying this but it's last minute pandering. :manny: That proposal will never go anywhere considering DEI being thrown out and the federal government recently lost in several lawsuits when they tried targeting specific demographics for some of their programs. Justice reform and changing laws regarding family court would be more doable and realistic.

Of course not.

And the “gold rush” crypto era is years behind us back when it was the wild Wild West and you could stack. We are talking pre-Covid and folks were extremely weary of it back then.
I know a dude who is super orange pilled. but all them nikkas was talking about the US Dollar falling next week so I turned that shyt out now Bitcoin is too big to fail.

Kamala might be going for the same play the democrats used to make sure Black Farmers got their money then


Pretty sure they made it so that anyone who proved they were racially discriminated against in business could get it. So while technically others could get it, it really just went to Black farmers and cacs were mad as fukk
That's how you play politics and get shyt done within the rules of the system. Dummies keep pushing for proposals that say 'black only' then get surprised when it gets immediately struck down.

A Few things I like below. Some of these are not aimed specifically at Black men but they will still benefit us greatly.

The first one is huge and I will always be a fan of it, it is the reason why I am making close to six figures now :yeshrug:.

● Expanding pathways for Black men to good-paying jobs, whether or not they have a college degree. Vice President Harris will also eliminate unnecessary degree requirements and promote meaningful pathways for those without college degrees for 500,000 federal jobs—and she will challenge the business community to do the same. She will set a goal to double the number of registered apprenticeships in America by the end of her first term—which provide quality training in high-demand industries with a clear pathway to a good-paying job—and will bring together high schools, trusted community organizations like the National Urban League, state and local governments, and the private sector to ensure that Black men are able to get the training and technical credentials they need to succeed in these registered apprenticeship opportunities and access jobs in highly paid, sought-after professions. Moreover, she will help Black men stay in school by investing in programs aimed at retention and graduation of Black men and boys, not just from high school but also from high-quality career and technical education programs and two and four-year institutions, providing ongoing mentorship and support.

● Providing more pathways for Black men to become teachers and school leaders
. Only 1% of public school teachers are Black men. Vice President Harris will build a pipeline of Black male teachers, including by investing in programs under the Department of Education, which Trump wants to eliminate, to collaborate with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) that will empower Black men and others to enter and succeed in the teaching profession, where they can serve as role models and mentors to students and improve academic outcomes. Vice President Harris will also expand registered apprenticeships for teachers and continue to support the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program to recruit and retain Black male teachers—which Trump tried to eliminate as President. Statistics have shown that Black student retention rates and overall success is increased when they have at least one Black male teacher during their elementary school years.

● Invest in grant programs for mentorship and leadership development. Vice President Harris will commit to expanding funding for existing community mentorship programs that have a proven track record of helping young Black men succeed and connecting them with established leaders in various fields—thereby establishing the next generation of community leaders. She will also support programs like My Brother’s Keeper and increase investments in leadership training and mentorship within public schools as well as HBCUs and MSIs to provide more opportunities for young Black men to develop leadership skills early and throughout their development.

● Providing financial support to financially stressed farmers and ranchers—including Black farmers and ranchers—that have been denied access to capital by banks and the federal government for discriminatory reasons. Vice President Harris already distributed more than $2 billion to more than 43,000 farmers and ranchers, including thousands of Black farmers and ranchers, who were discriminated against and denied access to loans and other financial support from banks and the federal government. Now, she’ll commit to scaling up this program by providing additional financial support to more farmers and 4 ranchers facing financial stress—including Black farmers and ranchers—so that they can grow their farms and ranches and stay competitive.

● Providing Black men and their families with reliable, low-cost internet access, by reenacting the Affordable Connectivity Program. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Affordable Connectivity Program provided 23 million households with up to $30 off of their monthly internet bills and a one-time discount of up to $100 to buy a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. This program connected an estimated 5.5 million Black households to affordable high-speed internet, closing the digital divide for millions of Black families. Vice President Harris will reenact this popular program, which ended June of this year, to ensure that Black men and their families throughout the country are able to connect to the internet and obtain the financial, educational, and employment opportunities that come from reliable internet access.

● 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.

Think nikkas gonna rea.

Damn near every Black manosphere channel is pro trump even if they're not they're too invested to change their minds now.

I'd actually be cool if they said that didn't want a woman in there.
Yea the initial reactions are from the tweets with limited info. There is way more detail and information on her site. Could it be better? Yes. But its something and we can't white about not being seen/heard and when something is presented, shyt on it without doing due diligence.

These are all great proposals, but unfortunately for Kamala, there's nothing she can do to satisfy her critics at this point because they're already set in their ways when it comes to her.

Let's see where this thread goes tho :sas1:.

The truth is that there's likely no presidential candidate currently or in the future that'll be able to satisfy the wants and needs in regards to specifically the growing base of disgruntled Black men in particular because what's being demanded isn't politically possible at this point and time in the country and possibly for the foreseeable future with the growing political unrest and tension surrounding race-based politics and policies.
There's nothing wrong with asking for reasonable things like most people, but one problem is that you have a segment of Black people expecting the Malcolm X/Huey P. Newton (respect to both of them) package special, and as beneficial as something like that could be, it's just not going to happen, nor is it realistic in 2024 in this modern day era in this current political/social climate.

I'm not against it but I'm also aware of the reality in what's more probable vs wishful thinking. Asking for things (low taxes, funding for public recreation, education, employment, etc) that can be beneficial for Black communities/people while being universal is more realistic than the aforementioned.
