Vice President Kamala Harris recently unveiled her so-called “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men”—a blatant attempt to reel in Black male voters who are slipping from the Democratic Party’s grasp. But let’s be real: This plan is nothing more than a government-sponsored trap that will push Black men further into dependence on the state, rather than promoting real empowerment and self-reliance.
1. The Handout Culture
The most outrageous part of Harris’s agenda? A whopping 1 million forgivable loans to Black entrepreneurs. The Democrats claim this will help them start businesses, but we all know what this really is—a fancy way of handing out free money. If you’re giving someone a “loan” they never have to pay back, isn’t that just welfare with extra steps? This is just another big-government scheme to keep Black men dependent on Democrats for their survival, ensuring they keep voting blue for the next “handout.” Instead of fostering self-reliance and hard work, Harris is training Black men to wait for the next government check.
And here’s the kicker: these programs are only for Black men. Is that equality, or is it favoritism based on race? Huh? Ain’t we supposed to treat everyone the same?
2. Tokenism Over Solutions
With polls showing Trump making gains among Black men, Harris is scrambling. That’s why her plan includes mentorship and training programs—it’s a desperate effort to pander to the Black community. But don’t be fooled. These programs are designed to look good on paper, but they’re just token gestures. The Democrats have been in power for decades, and what have these programs done for Black men so far?
Let’s talk about the real elephant in the room—Obama’s comments last week. He actually said Black men aren’t enthusiastic about Harris because she’s a woman! Yeah, really. Instead of respecting Black men’s concerns about her policies, he’s playing the gender card and calling them out. Is this what passes for leadership in the Democratic Party? Insulting Black men when they don’t fall in line?
3. Setting Black Men Up to Fail
If Harris’s handout agenda wasn’t bad enough, she’s also pushing Black men into unstable industries like cryptocurrency and marijuana. Sure, they might look promising, but anyone who’s paid attention knows crypto crashes overnight and marijuana legalization is a path toward more social dysfunction. What happened to jobs that build real skills, like in tech or construction?
The Democrats aren’t preparing Black men for long-term success—they’re pushing them into high-risk, volatile industries that will eventually fail them. And who will be there to “save” them when that happens? The Democrats again, of course. That’s the plan, right? Keep them on the hook.
Conclusion
This is nothing new from the Democrats—more handouts, more pandering, and more dependency. While Trump is gaining ground with Black men because he offers a message of freedom and self-reliance, Harris and her team are stuck trying to buy votes with flashy but empty promises.
Harris’s agenda is not about uplifting Black men; it’s about keeping them under the thumb of a government that will never let them thrive without its help.
