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.

Boutique racism at the taxpayer’s expense.

Why not bolster all America, Bloomie.

And use your own d-mn money. Stop picking my pocket!

So all those poor football and basketball athletes who run form the inner city once they make their millions get some relief, too?

Over 21 Trillion has been spent on the Blacks, and Great Society programs in the last 50 plus years. If the desired results haven’t happened by now they never will and throwing more money at the situation is a waste.

I think black voters are getting wise that the money is only intended to buy their vote, doesn't reach them usually, and when it does, is designed to addict them to the democrats.

Sure many will care about this, but many too, now that people are opening their minds to the notion that dems are the plantation party, especially since it's coming from a whitey billionaire, may take insult or at least see it for the affront that it is. For a legit program, it's not an affront ... but as more free stuff intended to instill behavior and political addiction, it's an affront to a self respecting human.

Effective at all? Maybe. As effective as it used to be? I think not.

Is this a hostile corporate buy out?

There are about 40 million Black citizens.

Each one gets about $2,000 to move out of the USA?
