VP Harris Releases Opportunity Agenda For The Black Man

Many black men have been on the fence about the presidential campaign. Anyone is free to, it's their right as an American. Black men are citing how prices were cheaper during the Trump Administration, and how inflation has skyrocketed under Biden. Those same black men cannot say the name of our current tax system, that has given large corporations record breaking tax cuts. Which is Donald Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted in 2018 to 2025.

Those same black men will justify and gloss over Trump's performance in Chicago. Where he rambled through questions painted at his economic policies. Interviewer and Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait took no time to inform Trump that his tariff plan will add more debt to the nation. This deflates the theory that Donald Trump is a grand economic guru.

Kamala Harris has heard the complaints. She's released her economic policies, which are proven to be cheaper than her opponents, and released an opportunity agenda prioritizing the health and welfare of black men. I will list them below. The recent conduct of each candidate should help the community decide who has the people's best interest in mind.

At an event hosted by the Harris campaign, at Detroit's TV lounge. Local activists, media, and community members gathered to watch Monday Night Football.

Thomas Booker, Brian Nelson, Jeff Johnson, Delroy Lindo, Don Cheadle, and Cornelius Smith Jr were in attendance. They fact that all of these men have succeeded to great heights in their career, made the event more human. Actors, athletes, entertainers, politicians, it didn't matter. The men sat down and voiced the same concerns as a chef working downtown Detroit, a high school teacher in River Rouge , airport worker in Romulus.

When asking Actor Don Cheadle. "From a black man who has worked to achieve what you have? What do you say to black men who live below Trump's favored pay bracket, but believe he's Best for the economy." The award winning actor gave me a reaction you couldn't pay for as he explained.

"What they have been led to believe simply isn't true. I would immediately go Google, and take them to where real information is easily accessible. I hope that's something that you can bring home, and that there's more misinformation than research circulating. Her policies are available and on her website. People are choosing not to see them. Also, Donald Trump has already told us what he's going to do for his people. Make the rich richer That plan is going to cost most people. I understand Why black men are upset! We feel overlooked, but we can't let that drive us into the tip of their spears! One Candidate says what he's going to do to us. The other says what she is going to do for us. She won't get that opportunity if we don't help her, and let misinformation get in the way."
