My summary of Biden’s plan for Black America: It provides a litany of race-specific problems to which it offers a litany of race-neutral solutions — none of which will eliminate the Black/white wealth gap. https://joebiden.com/blackamerica/
Now, I did find a few things of interest. The targeted and substantial investment in historically Black colleges and universities, is one, since HBCUs punch above their weight in producing Black professionals.
I love this idea of nearly tripling Title 1 funds to address the gaping funding disparities between low-income and wealthy public schools, which of course, are also often heavily Black, Latino and Indigenous schools versus white ones.
And last, there is a very tepid shoutout to reparations, where Biden commits to a study of reparations. But note, no bullet points here. Just one sentence.
You all do realize I am a journalist, right? Not sure why people are bringing up Trump or Sanders as Biden is the Democratic candidate and I am assessing his proposed policies.
