    "If you vote Republican, over the next four years we will create three million new jobs for the Black community, open 500,000 new Black-owned businesses, increase access to capital in Black communities by $500 billion," he said, maintaining his plan would also have the "highest standards for policing."

    The plan, a copy of which was posted by the Trump campaign, would also call for the prosecution of the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations, though how that would be accomplished is unclear. Legally, there is no domestic terrorism statute for such a plan to be actualized.

    -- repub across board seeing increase of capital, strong tax breaks for outside investors in these communities, better education a better draw than glamorizing criminals

    Trump reaching out and offering a helping hand to the Black community. Between this, the funding for historically Black colleges, prison reform, and his employment efforts, Trump has a demonstrable case for the best President for the Black community in the last 100 years. This is exactly why the media and Democrats are working overtime to divide Blacks and Whites using manipulated versions of police interactions. Don't be played like a fool by these media/DNC efforts.

    What has Joe Biden done for Blacks? Well, he authored the 1994 crime bill that many consider to be the cornerstone statute that accelerated mass incarceration. The 1994 crime bill is at the core of why Blacks are disproportionately imprisoned today.

    This comes two months before an important election, where he trails something like 86% to 8% (about...can't remember) amongst the black vote. Coming from someone that is completely self-serving in everything he does. Guess he thinks the black community is too stupid to see through this charade.

    It sounds super nice on paper, and would be cool, but I'm guessing they would like to see this wonderful comprehensive medical plan he's touted for four years now, instead.

    I wonder if you Trump haters in here know that black people love Mr Trump before the fake news and the Dems character assassinate him?

    He will get over 20% of the black votes. Bank on it.

    lol if a Democratic President had a spending bill for blacks only the usual suspects in this thread would be repeating what they and their compatriots have squawked about for decades. This is reverse racism that hurts white folks.

    He had 4 years to pass help pass legislation such as reparations for redlining but he chose to have a vague bill with little detail a couple months before an election that we all know will never pass through a GOP controlled Senate. This is useless pandering.

    While he panders this he goes to his rallies and insults all activism towards Black issues.

    So can anyone explain to us what Joe Biden has done for blacks, in his career? Other than author the crime bill that put hundreds of thousands of blacks in prison?

    I am not sure why this isn't the biggest talking point...

    "If you vote Republican...."

    Why doesn’t he start implementing the plan today?

    OK great, he was VP for Obama, who is half black and half white. But what would you say are the things that Biden has actually DONE for the black community? Other than author the crime bill? I think there's a valid case to be made that his efforts in politics have been the MOST DAMAGING for black Americans. The crime bill was truly that bad in terms of causing mass incarceration of blacks.

    We are more likely to see Trumps taxes then him following through with this or any other promise to people outside his base.

    These are the dangerous tactics that will get Trump reelected.

    Left/Anti-Trumpers: He is just doing it for votes

    Right/Pro-Trumpers: ....and Democrats have been doing it for 4 decades.

    Personally, for all the dumb **** that Trump promised (like all politicians), this is one of the few I can get behind. I dont think for a second he will get anything remotely close to this passed, but if he wins, I hope he gets this one done. And so should everyone else who champions equality.

    Question...if you’ve been doing something for 4 decades, is it still pandering for votes or is it part of the day to day actions?

    But he is doing it just for votes. He could have expressed this anytime in his past 4 years as president. It's also not comforting knowing how his actual base thinks of the black community (welfare queens, thugs etc) which he will always pander to.
