    Loving all the weaseling here

    It's not providing education training, it's supporting

    Not mentioning getting the men already in prison for cannabis charges out

    Protecting cryptocurrency

    Fuck, if they actually cared about the issues that predominantly affect black men, they'd do something about the Pigs or the Chuds

    But they don't and they won't

      thinkin-lenin Hmmm:

      How Wall St. Is Subtly Shaping the Harris Economic Agenda

      The vice president has repeatedly incorporated suggestions from business executives into her economic agenda.

      ...

      Paul Grewal, the chief legal officer at Coinbase, a crypto exchange, said he had spoken several times with top aides to Ms. Harris. He, along with other crypto executives, sat down with Mr. Nelson, Ms. Harris’s confidant, on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.

      ...

      Mr. Cuban, for his part, sees Ms. Harris as a total break from Mr. Biden’s Democratic Party.

      “She says she’s open to inputs from independents and Republicans, she means it. She truly is open minded. I’ve put some wild things in her direction that they don’t laugh at,” he said. “People are trying to say, ‘Here are the progressive and liberal principles that have always been the principles of the Democratic Party.’ Those are gone. It’s Kamala Harris’s party now.”

        “People are trying to say, ‘Here are the progressive and liberal principles that have always been the principles of the Democratic Party.’ Those are gone. It’s Kamala Harris’s party now.”

        I see the democratic party has adopted nihilism as its official party philosophy.

    This sounds like a fantastic way to stir up resentment among white democrats while doing absolutely nothing for black men

      I won't dispute that the black community has some reasons to distrust banks, but it says a lot that the prescription for addressing systemic racism in banking is to regulate scam tokens

      you want help but you won't even apply for a Pell Grant and open a business in an underserved community for at least three years?

    Libs, often white ones, will literally read this kind of shit and use it as irrefutable "proof" that Kamala and the Dems give even two fucks about the marginalized. At the same time, they'll also call you "racist" and say that you don't understand the plight of underprivileged Americans if you don't vote for her, which would leave you to uphold all of the fascist bullshit that comes with said vote.

    They have no ability to think beyond some vaguely "supportive" language in a tweet that actually is, like the title says, condescending when you examine it a bit more closely. Libs don't care about actual policy, tactics, or even ideology. They care about the aesthetic of the people they're voting for, but they support the exact same fascism as Republicans. They'll just be a lot more complacent under a blue-colored fascist than they would be under a red-colored fascist. top-cop

      Yeah this shit just comes off as stereotypes/tropes and paternalistic condescending bullshit like it seems to assume that black people are stupid therefore more likely to have fallen for crypto scams and then goes on not to address the inherent problems with crypto but to protect their investments in the scam. Whoever crafted this is a massive racist piece of shit.

    "Launch a national health initiative focused on the illnesses that disproportionately affect black men"

    So they'll talk about sickle cell anemia a bit before refusing to do anything about it.

      Lowkey hope he keeps doing that, it's such a Hillary Clinton 2016 non-starter type argument for so many people, guaranteed to cost Kamala the election

      These reptilians really can't help but indulge in their worst instincts this election, they're so peeved that people are talking back to their ghoulish asses that they're throwing all political sense out the window

    $20k is barely rent for half a year in a small apartment. Let alone securing a building, or making a viable product or hiring employees.

    Here's another springboard into unfathomable debt! jokermala

    What weird American terminology is a "forgivable" loan? Is that a grant with extra steps? Or a recognition that no loan scheme works and they'll eventually have to give up chasing repayment on half of them?

      It's a closing cost on a 200k-$2M financing needed to actually start a buisness.

      You know how people are gunshy about gov loans because the whole student debt can't be discharged in brankruptcy? Well now we're trying to sell START A BUISNESS to compete in a broken and senseless market and has a 90% chance of going bankrupt anyways. So the closing costs on the financing can be forgiven, twisted but not the other 90%

      porky-happy Think of the vultures that will feast on the remains! Mark Cuban!
