On Monday, October 14, Vice President Kamala Harris told black men, I see you and I hear you.

The Harris/Walz campaign is on a mission to strengthen the coalition, specifically with black voters, where they are surprisingly lacking compared to the 2020 Biden/Harris ticket.

After a moment with former President Barack Obama directly addressing a small group of black men during a surprise visit to a field office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he had a “black dad” moment and had some harsh words about black men on the fence. supporting Harris and suggesting that the misogynist is to blame.

The fallout from Obama’s comments was immediate, with black men reacting strongly. The Harris campaign, which has been out on these political streets a lot lately, has been talking about this exact issue and has launched a new proposal that will give black men “the tools to achieve financial freedom, reduce costs to better support themselves themselves and their families and protect their rights”.

The Harris-Walz policy broken

One part of his proposal, which no doubt makes cheap Republicans pucker their cheeks, is fully forgivable million dollar loans of up to $20,000 for black entrepreneurs to start a business. Now, the million dollar question would be how this would be possible; according to the campaign, the loans would be the product of a new partnership with the Small Business Administration with the addition of some lenders and banks.

Harris-Walz’s new policy will also support educational mentoring and training programs that lead to high-paying jobs for black men, as well as pathways to becoming teachers.

It also calls for protecting cryptocurrency investments made by black men, giving them the assurance that their money is safe.

The policy also calls for the launch of a national health initiative that will focus on diseases that disproportionately affect black men and also legalize marijuana and create opportunities for black Americans to succeed in the new industry.

The fall continues

While Donald Trump, who has been president, has never put forward any proposals aimed at black men, with his only claim to being an ally being to issue pardons to rappers, there are still some black men who scoff at the attempt to Kamala Harris to leave black. men know they have a seat at the table.

If you need a perfect breakdown of the discourse surrounding the new policy, look no further than Plies’ social media accounts, where he broke down precisely what
