Biden’s Proposal to Woo Black Voters Falls Short

As Donald Trump continues to target the Democratic Party’s long-held advantage among black American voters, the Biden campaign was hoping its rollout of the “Lift Every Voice” plan, discernibly branded to black voters, would stimulate the base that arguably saved him during the Democratic Presidential Primary. But upon examination, Biden’s proposal has no substance, misses the point, and offers nothing but the same failed liberal policies empirically known to destabilize the black community while avoiding our biggest concerns.

First, Biden’s proposal ignores the role illegal immigration has had on disadvantaged black Americans.

Biden’s proposal boldly claims he will “close racial wealth and income gaps.” But he plans to do that during a presidency that would roll back an immigration-labor framework which prioritizes American workers first, something that has been a boon to black workers.

If there’s one thing the Biden campaign and Democrats at large love to do, it's conflating the black and brown condition in America. Homogenizing issues central to black Americans as a singular approach for “people of color” ignores the ways that lax immigration policies have left certain black populations vulnerable to its consequences. While uncomfortable for the left to admit, it’s consensus knowledge that liberal immigration policies have had an adverse effect on black wealth. As the supply of low-skilled, low-wage labor became available in the U.S. labor market, Black wealth declined.

Democrats don’t understand that AA communities don’t want diversity messing with them.

I’m sure he has black face make up in his basement. Or cinders from the furnace? Perhaps a soft shoe to “Mammy” while wearing Air Jordans. That way he hits all the demos.

It’s not Biden’s fault that black voters don’t understand key political terms like “malarkey” and “pony soldier”.

Just some anecdotal evidence, a black male acquaintance is a bernie supporter but that he was now going to vote for Trump.

The democrats have lost significant numbers of the black wheat and are left with the inadequate chaff.
