So how is she going to measure “black”. Is it Obama black or Jeffries black?

The American political agenda has been racist, favoring the white men. Nothing wrong giving a disadvantaged group a chance.

We are trying to do better now. Two wrongs do not make a right. I am not White, Asian as well.

Metirocracy all the way.

There is no such thing as Meritocracy in America. I know you love that talking point, but America doesn't work that way.

Many of the proposals will help many people including black men (if enacted in good ways) - by improving education and mental health services.

I don’t use drugs and don’t love the smell of pot but there is evidence that legalizing pot helps reduce incarceration rates for blacks and whites. I can put up with the smell if it helps people to stay on better paths.

“The data supports that medicinal and recreational marijuana legalization decreases prison rates for Whites and Blacks, but not for Hispanics. Since the prison rate data was collected for all crimes, there could be another crime that increased Hispanic prison rates.”

Pew research shows that Clear majorities of Black Americans favor marijuana legalization, easing of criminal penalties. So if it helps their communities to have more families with parents not in jail for non violent offenses, then I can see the value.

Why should a black person get a loan that a similar white person cannot? How is that not racist? Why not target all low income people and then let all poor people get help rather than just a certain skin color?

"... and others" -- the comments are addressed to Black men, but are not solely for Black men.

People, stop reading things out of context and in snippets. If you read something and it inflames you, assume you aren't getting the full story.

Which is bad, right? We should work towards making it that way rather than doubling down on race sorting.

Again most of the proposals would help everyone struggling to get by on minimum wage jobs by investing more in education, training, mental health services and reducing unnecessary incarcerations for non violent crimes.

They are win win proposals.

It's a race AND gender sorting. Only Black men have trouble with crypto. Black women appear to be crypto literate.

It's not race sorting. So let's start a meritocracy now. What's fair about starting 1 mile behind.

She can't win. Black men got mad b/c she didn't talk about an agenda for black men and white people got mad b/c she talked about an agenda for black men.

Which do you want? She's stuck.

Legalizing weed is a good move. It’ll keep people stoned and lazy for another generation. Harris knows exactly what she’s doing.

She can’t win because she’s a lousy candidate with no ideas.
