When theres a thin margin election, any form of voter suppression or dissuasion benefits the opposite team or the candidate you do not want to win.

What that got to do with Trump cutting minority funding?It’s fukk Roland after the stunt he pulled that helped get Trump in office with the Donna Brazille/DNC situation.
Let the jokes fly
I dont get why they’re not happy that their protest work.Folk had their victory lap when Trump won. I’m going to let Roland have his.
Nah man FBA only exists online. On social media. Impossible to swing an election. Just a bunch of old nikkas rambling on the internet don't sway an election. I fux with you but ain't no way an irrelevant Internet group can sway an election. This is what has been said, right?
I'm talking about the jokes about Roland himself and not what he's talking about.What that got to do with Trump cutting minority funding?
Pay attention to what I said.
Pull up the % of blacks in these programs.
Lets put some real numbers behind what you are saying
Are the percentage over 10%, 50% ?
What are the numbers, I wanna know how many black folks benefitted from this which was designed only for us
While it's impossible to provide an exact number of Black-owned businesses that would be affected by the potential dismantling of the $37 billion Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, here's a breakdown of the context and potential impact:
1. The DBE Program and its beneficiaries:
- The DBE program, established in 1983, aims to support minority- and women-owned businesses in the transportation sector by allocating a portion of federal funding for transportation infrastructure to these firms.
- It serves roughly 49,000 businesses designated as "disadvantaged".
- AfroTech reports that in 2025, the program provides $37 billion in funding.
- Black-owned businesses, as a significant segment of minority-owned businesses, are likely to be affected if the program is dismantled.
- In 2022, Black-owned businesses received the largest share of contracts facilitated by the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), at $680 million.
- The Washington Post notes that the program is considered essential to removing entrenched barriers that minorities and women face in the contracting sector.
. Broader context of Black-owned businesses:
- Black Americans own 2.7% of all employer businesses, a figure that has seen recent increases.
- There were an estimated 3.7 million Black-owned businesses in the US, with 161,422 being employer firms in 2024, according to Lendio.
- The number of Black-owned businesses increased 13.6% from 2017 to 2020.
- Black-owned employer firms increased by more than 50% from 2017 to 2022, according to Governing.
- In 2021, Black-owned businesses brought in an estimated $183.3 billion in annual receipts.
- Black-owned businesses employed over 1.4 million people and generated about $206.1 billion in revenue in 2021.

Cacs and hispanics got him in office.
This shytshow ain't on us, no matter how goofy some of us can be.
Roland definitely contributed it to the first go around with the stunt he pulled at the DNC/Donna Brazille situation as all it did was play into the narratives that people thought of Hilary and had other voters sit out altogether. A moderator of a debate isn't supposed to give out the questions beforehand as it's a blatant journalistic violation and that's what he did.
Don't forget, the DNC lady before Donna Brazille had already gotten fired under under public shady circumstances and the latter ended up getting fired after as well.
Trump actually won the popular vote. We aren't even the biggest minority and haven't for years now.
This ain't my people's fault.
Cacs and their c00ns and latino cronies did this.
@An Embarrassment to Bunchy Carter doesnt have the intellectual capacity to discuss these kinds of topics
Everybody knows that
I'm specifically referring to Roland and not us and I've made my opinions about him clear on this site over the years in why I can't and won't take him seriousTrump actually won the popular vote. We aren't even the biggest minority and haven't for years now.

Roland, while goofy at times, is an ally.
