Leaving aside the obvious racist aspect of this proposal, it excludes Hispanics, Arabs and non Asian people of color, whatever that means, we've been here before. Beginning during the Bush years. She needs to advocate a BIG down payment and actual income verification. As to the apparent accepted fact that home values only go up, the California airhead might look at data from around the country. Including many urban Democrat strongholds.

[Brilliant]

Sounds racist.

Hasn't this been tried before?
I seem to remember sub prime mortgages that did not end well.

Apparently this idiot missed the Great Society program. We’ve spent trillions on welfare and it hasn’t done squat except leave Blacks worse off than ever. But then, that WAS the plan to make them destitute and dependent on the Demonrats. Just ask LBJ.

[Still Thinking]

This is gonna work great. Not like it’s ever been tried before and failed miserably and then crashed the economy or anything like that.

[irishjuggler]

This is essentially a repackaged version of what was tried in the early 2000s and led to the “subprime” crisis and the collapse of Fannie & Freddie. The idea that easy-money home ownership is the cure for the black economic underachievement is a dangerous, discredited fantasy.

Ever notice that none of the Senate Democrats running for President didn't have the guts to introduce legislation?

Why didn't Kamala introduce legislation on this? She can still do it. Why didn't Bernie introduce legislation to pay off student loans?

Warren, Booker. None of these Democrats did a thing in the Senate except now they're running for POTUS and have a whole laundry list of things that have to get passed in Congress anyway.

How many dxxxx does she have to sxxx to earn the $100Bln?

She is planning to use her own money.

Right?

How about NOBODY gets a #$#$ing penny and buy your own @#$#ing house with your OWN #$#$ing money!!!

But that’s just me.

granting up to $25,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Why not just have them stand next to a paper grocery bag? If they are darker, then hand'em a check for $25K.

[JonPreston]

she would invest $100 billion of federal money into housing assistance for black families

The more radical the proposal, the quicker the inevitable (and necessary) collapse. I'm learned to embrace absurdity like this.

[falcon99]

Wow, she must be concerned she doesn’t have the Black vote wrapped up so she proposes something to buy those votes.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Every time programs like this where homes were given to the “unfortunate blacks,” those same unfortunate blacks trashed the houses then moved out when they were not livable anymore.

Senator Willie Brown’s Girlfriend could just show the black women how to sleep their way up the ladder - starting with a six-figure “ghost job” on a company board.

[Deplorable American1776]

Free homes? Soon to be Free Single Family Slums... What next Free Caribbean vacations?

[lgjhn23]

And the “heels-up, knees-wide”, ineligible to be POTUS KamelToe is going to pay for this how? It should be from her own money, not ours.

[dinodino]

We’ve been here before:

Kommiela is a wild eyed Marxist beotch. I wish someone would wipe that smug smartass expression off her mug.

[butlerweave]

Didn’t Obama already do this ?

[shanover]

We been there/done that and the housing market basically collapsed with garbage loans and other shenanigans.

[Yaelle]

So....how much African heritage do you need to get a black loan? Would Kamala qualify?
