Kamala Harris: $75 Billion for Black Entrepreneurs, Colleges

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) released a $75 billion plan Friday aimed specifically at helping African-Americans overcome the wealth gap. The plan includes $60 billion to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and $12 billion to support black entrepreneurs.

The Root notes the details of the plan:

Harris’ latest plan to address the wealth gap calls for pumping $60 billion into HBCUs, like her alma mater Howard, and other “minority-serving institutions” or MSIs, to increase the number of black graduates in STEM [science, technology, engineering, and math] programs.


Under her plan, $10 billion would be allocated to a fund to help HBCUs build out their STEM facilities, while another $50 billion would be provided in a competitive fund to help HBCUs and MSIs do such things as provide students with scholarships, support post-doctoral fellows, build curriculum, and gird cutting-edge research programs.

That is A) begging for votes like the HO that she is and B) racist.

Why not just give 2 million dollars to every black person in America. ? 13 percent of the population will be over night millionaires. Common sense.

Yup by adding on 33% on welfare.

How about motivational speakers and leadership exhorting hard work, sexual restraint, and not dropping out.

Seriously? They go for free, rack up student loans that will never be paid, get a bullsh-t degree and then get a job in the public sector.

The "wealth gap" she is referring to has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with the choices made by each individual. If you choose to drop out of high school, end up with a criminal record, or put yourself in a position that could negatively affect your future, those are your choices and you should have to deal with the consequences. Regardless of the color of your skin, you have no right to complain about other's people success if you weren't willing to work like they were. You made your choices and they made theirs. Better yourself and stop looking for handouts in the name of equality.
