What do black men want in the short term (4-8yrs) ?
Seriously asking as a black man.

Housing,rental prices and then the courts are my only real concerns moving towards the next election cycle.
Family court reform and manditory DNA tests at birth should be job number 2 after reparations

LMFAOOO but my family don’t exist cause we talk black politics at Xmas.

I still think the Democrats win because republican candidates are toxic. Especially with Trump out of the picture.
They only way Biden wins is if he runs against Trump.

If you want Biden back in hope for Trump to run away with the nomination.

Hey according to this story this is the first time Black Men specifically asked for anyone to do something to Black Men specifically.

That's a start and I'll give Tariq his flowers for banging this issue.

Now if you think that all that will come out of it is butta biscuits and nikka trinkets that might be true but no one else is even taking the meeting.
Don’t forget Dr T Hasan Johnson and the 17 Point Black Male Political Agenda, friend.

It's too late. Joe. This is something and to a larger extent the Democrats should have taken more seriously like earlier in his term. Now it is going to smeck of pandering and scrambling for votes as opposed to a genuine interest in the welfare of Black men and by extension Black families. While he is still better than Trump that doesn't excuse him from being more active in Black matters. He's going to have the let the dominoes fall where they may on this one.

Honestly it's very clear that the reason why they're losing black male voters at this point is the "black folks don't talk politics over dinner, they're smoking weed and playing Xbox" brand of black person has too much sway and influence in the party. I hope as more and more competent black millennials start to FIRE and switch their productivity from getting money to making political moves this paradigm shifts in the next 20 years. Right now only the useful idiot crowd has enough energy to put any real time into the political game. We're gonna have to move these goofies out the way first and foremost if we want to get shyt shaking again. Guaranteed the representation we have in there right now is feeding them the most minstrelesque nonsense they can as to why black men aren't rocking with Biden right now.

I wish I could find my post on a Black agenda that had a lot of these but that was done a decade ago and Dr. T Hassan Johnson has more cache in this area.

Yup

The bourgeois tap dancing class who writes thinkpieces on being a special snowflake and shytting on the lower class

There is no room for regular Black men in that

They just want you to stand aside and stfu

Seems like he's underperforming with just about every demo so why are black men being singled out.
He is, his approval rating is trash. That's the funny/sad part, black men specifically...the demo that gets the least will be the main target to blame if things go left. If Biden wins of course black men won't get any credit or anything tangible. It's really a thankless sad position to be in as a constituent

The abortion stuff might save him this time around as it has Republicans losing a lot of the recent elections.
