TULSA, Okla. — Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will announce on Sunday his presidential campaign’s 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.

Over 21 Trillion has been spent on the Blacks, and Great Society programs in the last 50 plus years.

And we are $23 trillion in debt.

Whatever amount we have spent is enough. Nothing is going to change and Bloomberg is just pandering like all the other democrats. If Bloomberg has a guilty conscience then he can spend his money on his pet projects.

Only $70 billion? Why not $140 billion?

Why not $70 trillion?

Or why not make it personal?

Every black person in America gets $10 million, tomorrow.

But why only $10 million? And why not today?

Racially discriminatory on its face. In return for this vote bribe money, blacks will see their children de-genderized and unruly, their neighborhoods filled with crime, their jobs lost to migrants, and what remains of their living standards crushed by Marxism and environmental extremism.

Buying votes at $1,700 per. That sure beats a couple of whiskeys. Not as good as 40 acres and a mule, though.

Blacks are leaving the dems. That’s why the big push in Virginia to paint 2A supporters as racist and Bloomberg with this outlandish pandering.

If each black was given a share of that $21 Trillion and placed in a Trust, all blacks today would be permanent millionaires.

I think we already spend more than that every year. If this was a problem that could be solved with money, it would have been solved decades ago.

We’ve pumped trillions into ‘black america’ and ‘black america’ is worse than ever. But dumbed down so much to think they’re flipping wonderful.
