Said Ahmad Taylor, 47, of Pontiac, Michigan, quoted in "In a Michigan city, Harris has failed to catch fire with Black men/In December, Black men in Pontiac told The Post they were unenthused about Biden. Now, some feel the same about Harris" (WaPo)(free-access link).
The internal link in that quote goes to this video, about reparations:

Not to worry - kamala has some free goodies for you. Not that those free goodies will amount to anything positive. Hope and change.
Uh oh. If the WaPo is publishing this, they know the election is well outside stealing range, and there are no options left to pull the "livestock" back into the fold.
Why anyone thought this charmless Jez could get any normal person to vote for her is staggering. It will be a long time before the Democrats accept a woman nominee again for a competitive election.
The flaw in the strategy was the same as with Hillary. The Hillary camp believed Obama voters are Hillary voters. Now the incorrect assumption is Biden voters and the covid vote fraud votes are Kamala voters…
…by the left’s own admission brothers lack motivation to vote for women and old white guys…better get cheatin’
Just came back from early voting in Georgia. This is first day, and thousands of black voters were in line early. The white voters were old like me and in the line torwards the back. Suddenly an old white lady announced that poll workers did not want her to announce it, but that 75+ age could go to the front of the line…so we all did much to the angry looks at us because we were all white.
This is not how elections were done in the 1960s.
LOL at the accent she deploys near the end of the interview. You can’t question her dedication to black folks now!
Barack Obama was President for 8 years and had the White House, House and a 60-vote majority in the United States Senator for 2 of those years.
They passed NOTHING for black men.
Because of course, Barack Obama isn't black. He's Carnation Chocolate Milk. He can live anywhere and chooses to live on Martha's Vineyard where there are virtually NO black people and a dead body washing up on your lawn raises no suspicions.
Trad guy
In Puerto Rico all persons 65 or older, pregnant women and handicapped get head of the line privilege in any govt office. Including voting.
No early or absentee voting in pr, with a few exceptions.
Until this year. Now the dead are rising from their graves.
It's democracy. Why shouldn't someone be able to vote just because they are dead.

Funny that she won't commit to any policies that specifically favor just blacks, a day after proposing an “Opportunity Agenda” for Black men only, which includes plans to provide 1 million forgivable loans of as much as $20,000 to Black entrepreneurs and new pathways to help Black Americans succeed in the legalized marijuana industry.
Pot sales - talk about stereotyping!
She has done pretty good, considering she is just a typical, black, middle class raised child...
Reparations? We've had 60 years (1964 Civil Rights Law) of Affirmative Action and countless other grants and special programs, now likely totaling in the trillions of dollars. How much longer and how much more is going to be required to finally end this special treatment? Why do Democrats continue to treat black people like they're too incompetent and too lazy to make it like everybody else does?
And I should add, who most likely swallows ...
Black guys may not be that impressed by a half-black lawyer lady who married a Jew? Getouttahere!
Reparations to the People and their Posterity who confronted slavery, Diversity, and redistributive change. #HateLovesAbortion
At least Joe Biden was close enough to having the right skin color to black adjacent.
I live right by Pontiac, and often drive through there. There are Trump signs all over the place.
Why?
Why does popcorn pop?
Dems are the teachers, the principals and the school boards.
They know their results, they planned it all out.
Here's the funny part about "reparations" in California. California is 5% black and 40% Latino. Yet, you never hear the politicians talk about reparations for the Latinos in California, even though they had just as bad a time with historical racism in California as the blacks did. (And California was never a slave state.) Plus, I saw that the vast majority of blacks in America actually have some white ancestors. (Many of whom were slave owners.)
The whole "reparations" thing with the Democrats is like Lucy and the football. They hold it out to try and buy votes from black Americans, but it's never going to happen. There is no solid political will for it and it really just doesn't make sense. Providing equal opportunity is much better for people than just giving them cash.
Half-black? Doubtful. If not for her half-East-Indian ancestry, she'd look whiter than Rachel Dolezal.
Ivory Tower white liberals in Madison, WI do the same amount for black men in Milwaukee. Nothing.... The dynamic is the same, and it has been for decades.
Or reparations for Chinese.
Yes, I noticed that shift. Ha! She pulled that out because she could see that the interviewer was even more of a reparations panderer than she could afford to be. So, she had to firm up her bona fides as an All-Black gal.
Why would anyone stand in line the first day of early voting? This is not meant to be critical of you, tradguy, but why not wait a week?
In Portugal, all pregnant women go to the front of EVERY line, even in the grocery store. It can be a bit confusing when your Portuguese language skills are poor.
The only surprise is that it took so long. The Democrats have been promising the Moon to Black people for decades and delivering dog sh*t.
Nice move, they were all voting for Trump until you pulled that stunt. (Just kidding, I hope).
That brings up the old joke: If storks bring white babies and crows bring black babies, what brings no babies ? Swallows !
How about for reparations we dismantle the Teachers Unions and give inner city African Americans a fighting chance. Let's get the southern border under control to stop the never ending flow of fentanyl, cocaine to make crack, and heroine that pollute their communities?
Problem is we won't do that. White liberals have too much to lose.
Didn't Kamala have ancestors who enslaved Indigenous people's or was it imported slaves in Jamaica?
Maybe Harris is doing poorly with African-American men because she's...not either one...?
What was she saying? I started to lose the will to live towards the end. Is she really like this? Can't she answer questions? They don't have to be the questions she was asked. Good politicians answer the question they wanted to be asked. Can't she even do that?
"Uh oh. If the WaPo is publishing this, they know the election is well outside stealing range, and there are no options left.....Why anyone thought this charmless Jez could get any normal person to vote for her is staggering....."
There it is again, those signs of unwarranted optimism, 'Red Wave' style. It's starting to worry me, this sense of peripheral hubris that comes around every election cycle. (not picking on you doctrev)
She can easily win. The Democrat ballot-printing double-counting cheat machine has had 4 years of favorable operating conditions to get much worse.
Vote, make sure everyone in your family, votes, convince at least 5 people to vote. It ain't over till the judge dismisses the last court case.
No Republican until Trump offered a response. Not since FDR anyway.
I have wondered if her hubby being white decreases black support a tad (Obama was very calculating in this aresa). Also wonder if because she is pretty actually causes her to lose some of the "homegirl" vote?
Kamala's gonna Walz black men into prison and throw away the key in a novel deal of retributive change to her progress at black massa Willie's knee.
Chicago now has a credit-rating lower than Detroit, and a murder-rate that rivals Baltimore and New Orleans.
I didn't watch; is she speaking Shebonics?
I early vote early because old people like me might forget or the wife or me might get sick.
To quote a line from Apollo 13, failure is not an acceptable option.
But my point is, I bet if you wait a couple of days there would be no line.
Had not heard that one, Doc K. Nice.
My guy, President Trump got millions of votes more while being re-elected, and that did not work. If anything, your optimism about "winning" fixed elections is far less coherent than my optimism that the oligarchy is running out of options. If they could get away with repressing the population while fighting loser wars, they would. Especially if their own personal interests are threatened.
Remember - when democracy becomes tyranny, you still get to vote!
She don't feel no-ways tired.
The problem with direct payments is the limited potential for kickback.
any previous blog use for 'fruition'
40 percent of Detroit has already voted, and you can be sure 90 percent of them have gone to Harris. I've been reading these "Black voters are dissatisfied, and thinking of changing who they vote for" all my life. And every election the Presidential D candidate gets 85-90 percent of the black vote.
And so it will be in 2024. Of course, the real audience for Republicans reaching out to black voters, isn't black voters, its soccer moms and moderates who want to FEEL the R's are "reaching out to blacks" and "not writing them off and being racist (the ultimate sin).
Plus once it's paid out, that's it, the debt is paid. That book would be closed forever.
There's nothing optimistic about my post, when I'm talking about Democrat cheat organizations that are in place, and probably stronger than in 2020, when millions of extra ballots were secretly printed outside of the system of controls.
Nor am I sanguine about people that look at Kamala's lack of knowledge, charisma, experience, or ideas, and decide 'meh, she's a terrible candidate, I'll go shopping instead of spending 45 minutes voting against her.' There are a lot of people like that - just look at historical turnout for presidential elections.
If you have better ideas, let's hear them ! They might count for something. Again - I wasn't attacking you, just pointing out a meme that I see again and again, and always on the 'down low': No excitement, no need to vote, waste of time. I wonder sometimes if it's a psy-op targeting people that typically waffle on the importance of elections, as a way of getting them to opt out.
Me: I can't imagine telling people that their vote doesn't count, not when so many don't vote.
Who knew! I've got to know! I'll channel my inner Howard Cosell here and say that it is not new for politicians--of either party--to overpromise and under deliver. It's true that the practice is certainly prevalent in Dimocrat governed cities, but the Rethuglicans suffer from the disease as well.
Watch this excellent Peter Santenello tour and interview of deep blue Burlington, VT. It received 1.3M views in 3 days (so far). To paraphrase a local, the city became a graffiti-covered freeloading junkie haven per post George Floyd virtue signaling and widespread fear of "racism" accusations. Sane leftists are finally calling it out.
A silly, childish, and pandering sense of morality is why Harris is struggling with many people.

In Chicago the city leadership, which is 100% Democrat, took resources away from the black community to give ridiculous levels of Jarvis’s to illegal immigrants. That did not go down well. Maybe black people are starting to wonder where they actually stand in the post-Obama Democrat Party?
Old and slow said...
In Portugal, all pregnant women go to the front of EVERY line, even in the grocery store.
Same situation in Brazil. My wife and in-laws were a bit incredulous when I questioned the practice.
An hour and 45 minutes? I watched the first 8 minutes.

@Danno: So no Joe Rogan long-form interviews for you? His shows go as long as 3-4 hours. Play it in the background while you multitask.
The interesting thing here is watching Burlington's soft lefty Democratic voters come to their senses. They send their kids to college in New Hampshire, they hire private security guards because the police were defunded, they eject the junkies from public housing, they call out local government failings in great detail, etc.
has the tart ever heard of Obama the clusterphuck?
I have no idea how “benefits” got transmuted by Autocorrect to “Jarvis.” I miss the ability to preview my comments, not that I ever was much good at proofreading.
I thought that was some kind of Chicago slang, with "Jarvis" as some legendary receiver of graft. Heh.
