Joe Biden To Meet With Black Entertainment Industry Leaders During Los Angeles Visit This Weekend; Campaign To Run Ad On Grammy Show​

Joe Biden speaking to the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.


EXCLUSIVE: Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will travel to Los Angeles on Saturday, with plans for the president to meet with Black leaders in the entertainment industry in town for the Grammys, according to a source familiar with the plans.
During the campaign visit, the president plans to talk with the industry leaders about the issues at stake in the election and how they can use their platforms to mobilize voters between now and the November election, according to the source.

The Bidens are planning to travel to Las Vegas on Sunday for the re-election campaign, so they will not be attending the Grammy ceremony. But during the telecast, the campaign plans to air a recently introduced ad spotlighting abortion rights, with the spot running in markets in battleground states, the source said.

There has been some buzz during the past few days that the Bidens would be visiting L.A. when helicopter squadrons, like those that transport the president, were spotted in Los Angeles airspace. This will be the Bidens’ first trip to the region since December, when they were in town for a fundraising swing. The president has no major fundraising events on his schedule for this trip, but he has in the past also held private meetings with supporters. There also is some expectation among donors that the president will return by the end of the first quarter, March 31, for another fundraising visit.

Last year, the first lady attended the Grammy ceremony and presented the inaugural Best Song for Social Change award. More details of the president’s meeting are likely to emerge through the weekend.

As they did in 2020, the Biden campaign is expected to draw on supporters in the entertainment industry in efforts to get-out-the-vote and other mobilization efforts leading up to November. In the final month of the race in the 2020 cycle, such artists as Ludacris, Monica, Jermaine Dupri and Jeezy lent their voices to get-out-the-vote spots in battleground states.

Well it’s not a secret now

People still thinking entertainers speak for the people

If that were the case all of Hollywood endorsing Hilary Clinton should have guaranteed the win against Trump.


They doubling down on shyt that doesn't work because they've aggressively punished any sort of innovation and alternative thinking. Diversity to democratic leadership means "do whatever we command you to do, and behave and believe in policies no matter how unpopular but be anything other than a straight white man whilst you do it" their diversity is only surface level. They don't care about checking wall st or dismantling/reforming the structures that are used to enforce white supremacy(police departments, prison system)

And the cycle continues...

"You ain't black if you don't vote for me"

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

If Trump was on some John McCain/Mitt Romney shyt...I'd probably sit this one out.

Unfortunately we've seen how Scottish Cheeto gets down. Dude only wants to win so he can avoid getting locked up. Voting against Trump is the only play...not voting is pointless because the election happens regardless.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Student Loan Forgiveness Program

In a pair of recent cases, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness program. In Biden v. Nebraska, which was decided 6-3, the court struck down the administration’s student loan forgiveness program and agreed with the six challenging states that they...

Who is "we" in this context?

Black people who live in majority black neighborhoods, cities or states vote for aldermen, mayors, and other representatives at local elections who speak to their concerns. If you want to know what black people want out of the federal government, you meet black people at the local level and see what's important to them.

It's not rocket science. We want the same thing anyone else does in this country because the issues they're suffering with are worse for us. Black people have less access to health care, less access to affordable housing, less access to post secondary education, less access to stable infrastructure, less access to credit to start businesses or buy homes/cars. The way to solve the problem is to give federal funds to local state programs with a proven track record including programs implemented by local non profits. Non profits in your community are filling the gaps left by government by providing meals, medical care, tutoring, child care, homelessness prevention etc. They need more money in their budgets and the fed and state governments can make that happen.

Ja rule isn't going to tell Joe Biden something that he doesn't already know if he's spent more than 30 seconds talking to the head of a local united way chapter or mayor in a black city.
