Kamala Harris has launched a series of measures to shore up the votes of black men amid fears they may not turn out for her on Election Day. It comes as polls showed her level of support among black men lower than that of Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016. A New York Times poll last week showed 70 per cent of black male voters backing Harris, and 20 percent Donald Trump. Harris' figure was significantly down from the 85 percent who backed Joe Biden in 2020. In a stark intervention last week Barack Obama urged black men to vote for the Democratic nominee.

When a politician starts offering new pork for thin slices of the US constituents in return for votes, you know he/she is losing

Sadly, drugs and the things the Democrats are offering are the very policies that keep people shackled. . .

Vote for me and you can do anything you want. There will be no accountability.
Black males should be insulted for being treated like idiots.

The President's job is not to interfere with State's Rights issues. She is setting herself up to be impeached for abuse of power.

A "forgivable loan" is not a loan, its a grant.
She wants to create a grant program for black and male entrepreneurs.
These already exist under the following organizations:
Business Grants for Minorities
NAACP
Wish Local Empowerment Grant program
Small Business Administration
Bank of America -Loans and Grants- for minorities
Keep It Local Business Fund
PowerShift Entrepreneur Grants
Wish Local Empowerment Program
The NBMBAA Scale-Up Pitch Challenge with Collegiate Edition
Backing the BAR
Galaxy Microgrants
Kinetic Business Black Business Support Fund
Comcast RISE Innovation
Oakland Black Business Fund
Black Ambition Prize
Vanguard Accelerator
Collation to Back Black Businesses Grant
Fast Break for Small Business Grant
Restaurant Business Development Grant
Community Self-Determination Grant
Grants.gov
USDA Rural Business Development Grant Program ( My US Senator is catching hell for this one because it ---------specifically excludes white farmers and he voted for it. Jon Tester of Montana. Hopefully, we get him out.)
etc etc.....
A simple google search turns up a copious number of grants for minorities.
So again...Coco Nutjob is trying to have a fresh idea and can't come up with one that hasn't already been beated to death.

When you have the top people in the government accepting bribes, how can you require the citizens not to?

It's not something within presidential authority. That nasty Supreme Court will slap her hand.

Does Kamala Harris think that Black men are so weak that all she needs to do to get their vote is offer them pot, free loan terms, and easier access to Bit coin? Her campaign and her surrogate are continuously belittling Black men as if they are weaklings needing government help to exist.

So she’ll just increase by billions of dollars the Welfare State. Nothing like stereotyping a group of people

aka, "Snoop Dog's Law," OR, "Dope fo' Dopes Law."
How can she possibly pass that all by herself, and why wasn't that a Senate Bill sponsored by her at least once while she was seated in that Chamber?
Black guys can smell a 'rat' on this one...

Offering unconstitutional handouts and calling them ‘loans’ is old school Democrat bribery. Black men planning to vote for Trump will not be taken in by this corrupt ploy. She’s admitting that she’s desperate. Obama’s patronizing comments were the icing on the cake. If I were a Black man I would be livid.

She is stepping on "States Rights". Her focus should be on defending out country, fixing the economy and getting a handle on immigration and crime. Those are the things that the Executive Branch is supposed to be doing and not meddling in social issues.

RE: comment #15
Harris has been with Biden for almost 4 years and has seen HIM defy the courts and laws; example is the student loan debacle. She thinks that she can govern as a queen, with no restrictions/

Granting "forgivable" loans and legalizing marijuana is racist; it assumes that black business owners either cannot or don't know how to repay loans and that black men everywhere dedicate huge chunks of their days to getting high. It's been awhile but I remember reading a list of things that will help identify people who are racist. One of the things mentioned was "if you have a pet and you love and take care of it". That identification was racist itself since it assumes that nonwhite pet owners breed dogs to fight, and don't love or take care of their pets. So......to ensure that you're not a racist, I suppose you must abuse your pet. Comma-LA's proposal smacks of the same thing to me.

If it is forgivable, it is not a loan. It is gift. In this case, a bribe.
