Politico: Democrats Underperforming W/ Black Voters

[Kyle C. Barker]

No I put down less then that.

Then you are paying a pmi aka private mortgage insurance. And there's a chance it's just as high (or higher) than your property taxes. It was deductible up until the new tax cuts.

It's worth a hell of a lot more than a $800 tax holiday. Republicans too away that deduction to fund corporate tax cuts.

 

[Cobalt Mist]

If you don't want reparations, vote Bernie. He has made his stance crystal clear on that.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

....And neither do you!
Outside of shilling, and championing, old outdated, debunked democratic ideology, and political allegiance, little free thought occurs.

What's your plan for November?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

People seriously post not reading shyt that's already been put up in the thread.




























In that last video from the part where he quotes himself from 1974 talking about how White politicians don't give a shyt about Black communities all the way to the end of the video where he's reeling off those stats about Black America right off the top of his head proves he fukks with this shyt.

 

[xoxodede]

Absolute disingenuous bullshyt.


How can you claim you didn't know who she was if you were saying "she's been on it" and "though I don't like her much" and doubled down multiple times on her history?







You know a hell of a lot about this "ally" you supposedly didn't know anything about.

Boondooks -- and that video has been online since 2012. You can't shame me or make me feel bad about something I agree with. I don't have to support or like Ann Coulter to agree with a message. Civil Rights were for Black Americans -- it's a fight our ancestors have been fighting since Emancipation --- before Emancipation. So, I agreed with the message - not cause who said -- but what was said... as many others have.

I won't punk out and say I didn't say It --- I DID.

I already copped to it. I admitted it. I got called out. I got dragged as they say. I understood why I was wrong. I retracted.

What else you want me to do. I know who I am. What I stand for.

You can flip it anyway you want. I won't run. You are the one supporting a Anti-Black presidential nominee -- who doesn't even believe that Civil Rights were for Black Americans!

Yes, his stance that he wants to work to end the racial wealth gap and he wants to pass H.R. 40.

He also did say that reparations isn't feasible this election cycle, and he's clearly not going to run on it when only a quarter of America supports it. Who are you supporting instead to get reparations this election cycle? Does opposing Bernie get you there somehow?


These are the actual receipts. Bernie's been talking about needing to fight the racial wealth gap and discriminatory policing for 30 years and that shyt is all over his promises for the presidency.

Bernie Sanders on Racial Justice

Our campaign is fundamentally dedicated to ending the disparity of wealth, income and power in this country. It’s time to bring a systemic approach to systemic racism. Structural problems require structural solutions, and together we can meet that challenge.

Systemic inequities have created innumerable disparities across racial groups from health outcomes, to health insurance rates, education outcomes, college debt rates, and police violence. Bernie is running for president because he believes we’re obligated to do more than just acknowledge the problem. He believes in implementing policies that aim to achieve substantive equality now—while the generations alive today can benefit. In a country that is genuinely free, neither one's zip code nor the color of their skin would determine a child’s life outcome. Bernie believes our country is morally bound to close the racial wealth divide.

Key Points

• Address the five central types of violence waged against black, brown and indigenous Americans: physical, political, legal, economic and environmental.
• Address a broken criminal justice system, massive disparities in the availability of financial services, health disparities, environmental disparities, and educational disparities.
• Create a nation in which all people are treated equally.

His specifics include:

1. End continued redlining and other forms of housing discrimination against black folk that still persist
2. Federal job guarantee
3. Ensure quality education for children across the board
4. Make tuition free for all students at public universities and HBCUs
5. Increase public funding for HBCUs
6. Cover all other college costs for students from families making under $25,000/year
7. End the affordable housing crisis and create a path to wealth building through homeownership
8. Raise the minimum wage to a living wage
9. End racial discrimination in the financial services sector
10. Protect minority communities from pollutant exposure like what happened to Flint
11. Identify and fix the underlying causes that lead to a higher mortality rate among black children and black mothers.
12. Institute Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal for distressed communities.
13. Establish a commission to study and research reparations (H.R. 40)

Racial Justice

Economic Justice
Black Americans currently have ten cents for every dollar white Americans have. Latinx Americans currently have thirteen cents for every dollar white Americans have. This is unacceptable: It’s time for America to treat the lives of people of color like they’re worth more than change on the dollar.

More than 22% of black Americans and more than 21% of Hispanic Americans are living in poverty compared to 12% of white Americans.

Today redlining prevents businesses owned by people of color from getting loans, and predatory lending results in higher interest rates in low-income communities of color. More than 47% of African Americans are unbanked or underbanked and some 43% of Hispanic families are unbanked or underbanked, whereas 18% of whites are unbanked or underbanked. The massive disparities and discrimination in the availability of financial services must end.

In a country that is genuinely free, neither one's zip code nor the color of their skin would determine a child’s life outcome. Bernie believes our country is morally bound to close the racial wealth divide. In order to do that, we must ensure that people:

• Start treating the racial wealth divide like the crisis it is. We must end the especially pernicious racial wealth divide that exists today in America within the gap between millionaires and the poor, working, and middle classes of all races.
• Guarantee a job to every American. A job guarantee will create good-paying jobs and will create work building much needed infrastructure and providing critical services to communities across the country.
• End redlining practices and other forms of housing discrimination that still exist.
• Make sure every kid, regardless of race or class, receives a quality education.
• End the affordable housing crisis and create a path to wealth building through homeownership.
• Make sure resources are focused on the Americans who need it most -- often as a result of structural disadvantage. Bernie supports the 10-20-30 approach to federal investments which focuses substantial federal resources on distressed communities that have high levels of poverty.
• Support public colleges and HBCUs. We must make public colleges, universities and trade schools, tuition-free—including for the 76% of HBCU students who attend public colleges—and increase public funding for all HBCUs.
• Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Black and Latinx workers disproportionately work minimum wage jobs. Raising the minimum wage will increase the wages of 38% of African-American workers and 33% of Latinx workers.
• End the discriminatory practices in our financial services. We must allow every post office to offer basic and affordable banking services and end lending discrimination once and for all.

BERNIE SANDERS ON BLACK RIGHTS
“Have we made progress in civil rights in this country? No question. But do we still have a very long way to go to end the institutional racism which permeates almost every aspect of our society? Absolutely. Together, we are going to put an end to that.” – Bernie Sanders, April 9, 2019

Bernie Sanders has a long history of fighting for social equality and the rights of black Americans — a record that goes back to the early 1960s. In college, he was a student leader of the Congress of Racial Equality and was arrested for protesting institutional segregation. His views were cemented in 1963 when he marched on Washington and witnessed Martin Luther King, Jr.’s pivotal “I have a dream” speech.

In Congress, Bernie opposed the 1991 crime bill that he believed would disproportionately punish people of color — especially African Americans. Bernie’s civil rights record has earned him one of the highest scores given to a U.S. Senator and a 100 percent score from the NAACP.

Bernie Sanders is committed to ending racial disparities. He often refers to these disparities as the “disparity within the disparity.” Bernie understands that slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, predatory lending, redlining, and other factors have led to racial economic disparities and a theft of wealth from African Americans.

Education: Education isn’t a privilege — it’s a right. Everyone deserves access to affordable, quality education, including universal pre-K and college, and we need to increase access to it for people of color to provide greater economic opportunities.

Crime & Social Justice: The U.S. has the highest prison population rate in the developed world, with a distressingly disproportionate number of black inmates behind bars and many for drug offenses and other non-violent crimes. Our criminal justice system is broken and must be reformed to provide opportunity instead of incarceration.

Income Equality & The Racial Wealth Gap: Economic justice is tied to racial justice. Black youth unemployment is at 51 percent, higher than any other demographic. We need a federal jobs program to put the unemployed — including black youth and adults alike — to work, and we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Moreover, we need tax reform so corporations and billionaires pay their fair share and fund the expansion of the social safety net. Additionally, we must repair the racial wealth gap and end the institutional racism in the financial services industry such as redlining.

Infant Mortality Rate of Black Children & Death Rate of Black Mothers: We must identify and fix the underlying causes that lead to a higher mortality rate among black children and black mothers.

Reparations: Many black Americans are still experiencing social and economic disadvantages as a result slavery in America. Bernie supports establishing a commission to study and research reparations for American descendants of slaves as well as investing resources into distressed communities.

Note: As is the nature of this project, this page highlights Bernie’s views and record on issues affecting black Americans. For more detailed information, check out the comprehensive racial justice plan Bernie released as part of his 2020 platform.

Reparations
Although the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States in 1865, American descendants of slavery still face social and economic inequalities as a direct result of the legacy of slavery. One of those inequalities is the racial wealth gap. The median white household is ten times more wealthy than the median black household.

How does Bernie plan to address lasting inequalities from the legacy of slavery?
Bernie supports two policy proposals to address these inequalities. At a CNN Town Hall, Bernie expressed support for Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 proposal.

Clyburn’s proposal would make sure that at least 10% of Rural Development investments would go to communities in persistent poverty. These communities are those where at least 20% of the population has lived below the poverty line for the past 30 years or longer.

Bernie also supports H.R.40, a bill that would create a commission to study reparations for American descendants of slaves and make recommendations to Congress for appropriate remedies.

Has the United States paid reparations to other disenfranchised groups?
Yes, the United States government has paid reparation to other disenfranchised groups before. Japanese Americans have been paid reparations for being sent to interment camps during World War Two. Victims of the Holocaust have also received reparations from the United States government.

And there's much more on that page as well.

Environmental Justice
The ills of pollution and climate change touch everyone, but tragically, they touch those in poverty more than others. Trump’s own EPA has shown that people living in poverty are exposed to more harmful particulate matter in the air, and that people of color are more likely to live near pollution and be exposed to pollutants. According to the EPA report, “results at national, state, and county scales all indicate that non-Whites tend to be burdened disproportionately to Whites.” This, too, is unacceptable.

Today, Flint, Michigan, is still without new pipes for clean water, and there are 3,000 other Flint, Michigans, across the country—neighborhoods with lead rates that were double those of Flint during the height of its crisis. Together, we must:

• Enact a Green New Deal not just to save the planet, but to protect our most vulnerable communities. We must end the scourge of environmental racism, and at the same time create green jobs to support and rebuild the local economies of affected communities.
• Protect low-income and minority communities, who are hit first and worst by the causes and impacts of climate change, while also protecting existing energy-sector workers as they transition into clean energy and other jobs.
• Address the inadequate environmental cleanup efforts of Superfund hazardous waste sites in communities of color.
• Stop the exposure of people of color to harmful chemicals, pesticides and other toxins in homes, schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces and challenge faulty assumptions in calculating, assessing, and managing risks, discriminatory zoning and land-use practices and exclusionary policies.
• Enact a Green New Deal to mitigate climate change and focus on building resilience in low-income and minority communities.

[Barnett114]

If Trump committed to reparations, I'd probably vote for him

It's fukk Trump, but if he committed to a multi-trillion reparations plan w/ cash payments for FBA, I'd probably vote for him

I'm still not fukking w/ Trump
But let him commit to reparations and I'd probably vote for him

Can't see the forest for the trees

He can cut every social service a long as the check is cut.

Know who you're dealing with.

I'm taking the advice of the other posters and disengaging with you. We've already been around this in circles when you literally made shyt up, couldn't tell the difference between different bills passed years apart, used random White twitter haters from Broadway as your "receipts", and clearly are on some sort of blind personal agenda

No one who thought Ann Coulter was a Black ally and pro-reparations, told us she knew all about her history, then lied about not knowing who she was, then lied about how often she had doubled down on how great Ann Coulter was, deserves to claim they have the secret inside scoop on any political figure.
