[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks fairly comprehensive except for not tackling the criminal justice system that disproportionately locks up and executes black men.

1) Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
(2) Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.
(3) Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.
(4) Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.
(5) Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.[/quote]

1) This is almost certainly illegal to offer forgivable loans with an eligibility criteria based on race. It violates the civil rights act. 
2)Sounds like a good idea and can probably get some bipartisan support for this one in congress. 
3)I'm not sure how cryptocurrency regulations are an issue specific to Black men. 
4)A health research initiative is also something that might get bipartisan support in congress.
5)Legalizing Marijuana is not a free lunch and there are numerous downsides to this idea. higher rates of car accidents, lung cancer, heart disease, etc. It's also kind of insulting to say that recreational drug use is a Black men issue and she threw a lot of men in Jail for Marijuana use as a DA. 
Many people do not like identity politics and this may hurt Harris more than it helps her. [/quote]
