Black Men Will Vote for Harris—White Men Are the Problem

Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a platform of policies to court Black male voters this week .

The platform includes business loans for Black entrepreneurs, legalization of marijuana , and better regulation of the cryptocurrency market, which disproportionately predates on Black men.

The time for a Black male agenda was three years ago when Democrats briefly controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress , but I'm not here to talk about the past.

In this election, the powers that be have decided that Black men are the appropriate scapegoat.

The overwhelming majority of Black male voters will vote for Harris , but what about those who don’t vote? What about the dudes who will stay on the couch? Surely, if every Black man would just crawl over broken glass to vote for Kamala Harris , our democracy could be saved.

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot.

The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision.
