I don’t know what is happening on the last few pages. I couldn’t care less about this Bernie/Biden shyt. Biden is still a shytty candidate that has a history of supporting terrible policies. I mostly agree with Bernie on policy, but he still doesn’t have a specific Black agenda that is good enough imo.
I fukking hate Michael Bloomberg, and it fukk him forever due to stop and frisk. However, I can’t front on his Greenwood Initiative. It is the best specific Black proposal any candidate have came up with in any presidential election I can remember. I still have question. I like the idea of putting $70 Billion in Black neighborhoods, but how are you going to stop gentrification/Black people being displaced in these neighborhoods? I had the same question for Warren, and Harris housing proposals.
The Black home ownership part of the plan is outstanding. He actually gave decent specifics on how it would work, and the goal is to have a million Black people buy homes
I like the entrepreneurship part of the plan for the most part. The stated goal is to start 100,000 Black owned Businesses through incubators, mentorship, and making funding available through loans. One of the biggest barriers to starting Black businesses is lack of access to capital, so this is needed. What I don’t like is that it states this is particularly for Black Women. I want Black Women to start businesses, but Black Men need this just as much if not more since we are in a worse economic position then Black Women. This need to be adjusted.
Good proposal for the most part, I just don’t believe he would really push for it if he got elected. Plus I don’t see how Bloomberg could beat Trump. But we should force whoever we support to adapt some of these ideas. This goes for Biden Boyz, Bernie Bros, and weaver the hell us Liz suppers call ourselves.
