Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled an “Opportunity Agenda” proposal for Black men Monday, which includes plans to provide 1 million forgivable loans to Black entrepreneurs and new pathways to help Black Americans succeed in the legalized marijuana industry. ***
Harris’ announcement is aimed at increasing her support among Black male voters, and comes in the final weeks of an extremely close race between the Democratic vice president and Republican former President Donald Trump.
The plan outlined Monday would provide 1 million fully forgivable loans of up to $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business. The loans would be financed through partnerships between “mission-driven lenders,” community oriented banks and the Small Business Administration, the campaign said.
*** The PSLF program provides student loan forgiveness after 10 years to borrowers who work in certain nonprofit and government jobs. Black men make up less than 2% of public school teachers in the U.S.,
A victory in November would make Harris the first Black woman and the first South Asian person ever elected president of the United States.
Harris also promised she would support federal-level marijuana legalization, a major step beyond the Biden administration’s current stance on cannabis, which includes pardoning people convicted of marijuana possession and exploring a potential reclassification of marijuana on the drug schedule.

racist and uncontitutional
It is a government grant. AKA a handout to buy votes.
When will Harris start dressing like Santa?
Good God she’s actually pushing then into the marijuana business.
“ mission-driven lenders”
Like our banks
in a recession or worse
Geez even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson didn’t use such sugary virtue speak to shakedown the financial and corporate sectors
If a boy can identify as a girl, then I can identify as black. Give me $$$
That’s not a loan. It’s a gift. She’s a filthy racist.
If it's "forgivable" it is a grift, not a loan.
She can't "give" money without congress passing a bill, even though slow joe tried, the SCOTUS said NFW.
If a boy can identify as a girl, then I can identify as black.

You will find that everyone suddenly discovers their inner scientist if you try that. Particularly the politicians. Ketanji Brown Jackson will transform into an expert biologist.
The pandering escalates as she falls further and further.
Typical dhimmicrap tactic.
Yet in North Carolina the people that have suffered through the storm and their lives destroyed can’t get FEMA to fork over the $750 promised!! Our government is so effing corrupt. It is a cancer that needs to be removed.
Unfortunately this type of pandering usually works on those serving in the plantation.
Absolutely disgusting. She's proposing an outright vote-buying, fraudulent, helicopter-money scheme.
She may or may not really be 100% “black” but she’s definitely 1000% racist.
Blatantly unconstitutional.
new pathways to help Black Americans succeed in the legalized marijuana industry. ***
Egregious Title VII violation.
One can only imagine the theft and grifting that would take place. Giving away money you have borrowed is absolutely the most stupid thing of all time. Washington does it because it’s not costing them anything much personally, they won’t be paying it back, it insures their continuing in power, and they believe it will be someone else’s problem down the road.
