still trying to find the racism in that message. i'm sure it's there if i squint hard enough.

it's ok to remind a specific segment of the population that they will benefit from a policy. really. it is.

It's not really too hard. Keep looking.


All the Russia funded twitter accounts are ANGRY


BTW I'm assuming the snuck in "and others" line is key


Are black people more like children or just people who are genetically predisposed to be shorter than average, in your opinion?




Leaving race aside for a moment, is this even a good idea? Up to 20 billion in forgivable loans, plus interest and administrative costs? Most of the businesses will fail. I don't know much about this subject, so I'm genuinely asking how it's likely to play out. From CNBC: The loans would be financed through partnerships between “mission-driven lenders,” community oriented banks and the Small Business Administration, the campaign said.

Never let Government do (or pay for) things that should, or could be, handled by the individual... EVER.

Forgiveness is 'Taxation'.


Trump: We are going to use the military to expel all the black and brown people from our country legal or not
Trump: We are going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it
trumpers: sounds legit lets ****ing do it

Kamala: I want to provide 20 billion in loans to fund new business
trumpers: How is that even possible? Loans? WTF are those? What is this wizardry????

You guys realize that Trump funded a 250-500 billion dollar fraud through PPP loans? No? Oh, okay.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming


it's very obviously not racism, but because the post said the word "black" i guess can understand how that takes more than two braincells to understand, which is generally two more than the right wing twittersphere guys have.

i'd be willing to bet everyone of the people that think it's racism have also used the mlk jr quote multiple times as well.

The answer to racism being more racism is hilarious.

How about just treating people equally?

We should not help the poor at all or aiming at equal opportunity.
Flat tax is the best am I right ?
The old concept of rich people will create jobs with the money instead of buying stocks and gold ? lol….

About small business tax break …..harris vs trump .

You're introducing concepts based on people's economic status.

A debate can be had about different tiers there.

But if you want to treat people differently based on their gender, race, hair color, etc. seems a little sus.

Well I’m sorry u don’t see a correlation between race and wealth still existing in the US .

there certainly is a correlation because America was extremely racist for centuries.

i don't think reverse racism is the proper fix.


i’m still not sure how this is different from Trump for instance talking about the lowest black unemployment rate or that he helped freeze some non-violent drug offenders or that he established the economic opportunities zones. It doesn’t seem like Kamala is saying that these policies are specifically for black men just that black men should like these policies because they will benefit them. on the other hand, the economic opportunity zones were specifically designed to benefit black communities, which doesn’t seem to be the same case as the policies that Kamala Harris is talking about.

What is a proper fix then?

Well the article I read was for black men and OTHERS.
Maybe it was just worded in predominantly black to put it out there , and to show black are usually underrepresented in that segment of the economy , but it was not just for black .

]Her plan involves providing 1 million fully forgivable loans of up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and others who have historically faced barriers to starting a business,

Now was she just making a point , putting quotas and in that project ?
Who knows .

But you won’t fix problems of equal opportunities and fixing whole communities by not focusing some quotas in certain area where it’s massively only occupied by blacks.

The proposed fix is not racist nor reverse racist.

You're right. Only the marketing of it is.



I think if you're of the belief that Kamala is going to win then betting now at these prices is probably best. Trump really can't go too much higher than this unless you're holding out for election night to gamble, and he could easily fall back down to 38-40% or much more simply on the basis that Trump is an idiot. Nothing in the early voting really seems to be too far out of the ordinary and early voting is just going to become the norm for republicans as well anyway, but who knows.

Dang I might need to but some bitcoin just to get in on this action. There’s no way betting Trump at 58 is a good deal


This is making me more and more upset at myself for giving up gambling.


Nancy Fredi Pelosi making moves!

Then let's hear some of your ideas about a proper fix.
