The vice president released a plan to help Black men financially, held interviews with two Black media outlets and put out targeted ads in battleground states.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a sweeping push on Monday to energize Black voters, among whom she faces slipping support, unveiling a plan to bolster the finances of Black men, appearing in interviews with two Black media outlets and releasing a pair of ads in battleground states targeted to that crucial voting group.

Taken together, Ms. Harris’s blitz put forward a broad argument that her administration would deliver meaningful policy changes for Black Americans and that former President Donald J. Trump was making empty promises that contradict his history of racist remarks.

I saw a middle aged black dude with a US Navy Veteran cap on and a Kamala T-shirt in East Texas the other day. You can’t fix that type of indoctrination.

If Kamala is having to spend time, money and resources on getting the black vote in October she is done. Stick a fork in her.

Recently many young black men suffered through college only to graduate in debt and with a worthless degree in a terrible economy with no good jobs. Luckily mom’s basement had a vacancy but now little brother is moving in too.

The very fact that the New York Times runs a story with that headline in mid-October about the “black” woman candidate shows you that she’s going down to a massive defeat.
