I’m voting for Biden because there isn’t much else to do on the National level but this plan IS NOT a plan to help Black owned
businesses or minority owned businesses specifically, it’s just branded to appear that way.
it’s literally just his Small Business Fund plan, copy and pasted into the racial equity section and word smithed to appear race specific
For reference, the small biz fund is the first one in the below link and it’s identical to the “Ensure all small business relief efforts.. aid black and brown people.” plan you posted just with slightly less pandering language:
Joe Biden’s Proposals to Set Up Support for Deserving Small Businesses – Joe Biden for President: Official Campaign Website
But to take a closer look at what you posted though.
Biden can say, these funds will go to small businesses, especially black and brown all he wants but the specific “tangibles” from
this ideas are:
1. “Reserving
half of new small business relief— for small businesses with 50 employees or fewer, including microbusinesses and sole proprietorships”
It’s just saying that real small businesses will actually get the funds, folks with 50 or less employees. It’s a class based initiative, not a race based one. That can easily not go to black businesses and when it’s all said and done might have little to no effect on the racial disproportionately of how these funds are distributed. It literally doesn’t adjust race in any concrete way through policy.
2. “navigator assistance for small — often minority-owned — businesses to ensure fair access to these programs.”
lol So basically advisement for small businesses.. like literally any small business. Nothing specific to minority owned businesses.
In the end, This may or may not help black owned businesses, hopefully it does but don’t frame these types of efforts as social justice/ race based equity policies when they clearly aren’t. It just feels disingenuous, and Kamala
did the same with her “Lifts Act”. If you can’t do anything politically for black people specifically and want to argue it’s not good for the country or economically not feasible or unconstitutional.. that’s fine but keep Black people out of the language and just offer it as the class based initiative that it is.
again, I’m not no fukking agent, I’m voting for the nikka but I can understand with shyt like this why others are repulsed by the ticket
