To be clear, my position is that Bernie and Liz have similar plans.
Although it may seem like Liz is focusing on helping Black people, it's just the framing of her generic platform.
Both Bernie and Liz have platforms that will help us, but Bernie doesn't frame if it's tailored to Blacks like she does.
For example...Liz supporters pretend that her redlining plan is specifically for Blacks, but it isn't
The down payment assistance isn't "Black only".
Additionally, those formerly redlined areas aren't even Black areas like that.
Examination of the maps, numbering over 200, reveals that approximately 11 million Americans (10,852,727) live in once-redlined areas, according to the latest population data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2017). This population is majority-minority but not majority-Black, and, contrary to conventional perceptions, Black residents also do not form a plurality in these areas overall. The Black population share is approximately 28%, ranking third among the racial groups who live in formerly redlined areas, behind white and Latino or Hispanic residents.
America’s formerly redlined neighborhoods have changed, and so must solutions to rectify them
See, I got nothing against Liz and will vote for her if she gets the nomination. But I'm also not falling for her pandering.
That's why I said that I liked Bernie earlier. He's not going to tell you what you want to hear and doesn't care about giving an unpopular opinion to your face. He's honest like that.
He did it in the NAACP forum video posted earlier and he did it recently in the debate when he shytted on the NH senators for voting for USMCA and got "booed"
