Everything Harris proposes is geared to generating generational wealth, building the middle class, and helping the working class.
Trump voters might like the pot they piss in, but I hope the other 70% of Americans wake up and smell what Momala is cookin'.
This is just a small gift to the black bourgeois who make up a small portion of the black population and need help the least.
What black people need is broad programs that help all people. Investment in inner City schools, free school lunch programs, affordable and public housing, Medicare for all etc. Black capitalism and neo liberal programs like this aren't going to help your average black person
Or a return of the New Deal mortgage subsidies that black people were left out of the first time.
Wtf

Do you know how you can help black Americans? Reparations.
I don't see how that gets through Congress, whereas something more like this (but with much larger amounts of capital injection) has a better chance.
I'm not a big fan of the idea of reparations. The generational harm seems too great to fix with money. Besides, once there are any payments at all, you will get losers who claim that racism is over, because we paid it off.
I don't believe reparations are politically possible right now, but "we can't fix the problem so we shouldn't even try" just doesn't feel like the right move here.
You mean as opposed to the people nowadays saying that we eradicated racism because of an amendment ?
Seems like the current plan is to just wipe out all generational wealth instead, for every ancestry. We've given up on a rising tide lifting all boats and instead we're draining the harbor.
