TULSA, Okla. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will announce on Sunday his presidential campaigns plan aimed at bolstering economic opportunity for black Americans, promising to triple their income over the next decade, but stopping short of promising reparations.
The announcement comes as the billionaire continues to face questions about the controversial "stop-and-frisk" police tactic he endorsed as mayor, and as he seeks to build support among African-Americans, a key voting bloc in the Democratic primary.

Make $200 trillion and it’s a deal! Bloomberg is counting on the hope that voters don’t realize it’s congress that spends the money, not the president.

Evidently Mr. Blumquist believes black voters are slaves who can be purchased with a few trinkets.

The money will be poorly managed, or just stolen, laundered, embezzled. It’s what democrats do.

I hope the Black community takes this as an insult, as if they are for sale.
We spend over a trillion dollars per year on welfare and all forms of handouts related to poverty, and a pretty good chunk of that goes to the Black community. (No I’m not saying most of it. Think of it in terms of the amount he has promised. $70 billion / We’re already doing it, and have been for over five decades.)
So here comes Bloomberg acting as if our nation hasn’t done anything to help Blacks. That’s outrageous.

The Great Society began in 1965; 55 years ago-two trillion seems like a conservative amount.

For over 50 years Lucy has been pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. The Dems are losing the black vote and so they make more promises that they won’t keep.
