progressive policies leads to progressive results for black america and black americans see that. of my favorite things to see and i don't know if you've seen it on the internet there are tons of times were black lives matter protesters show up and they get chased out of the neighborhoods. they are old and they are saying we don't care of don't care for so-and-so gets shot but you want to show up with your narrative and that's the truth. this is about the undoing of society making sure there is no law enforcement and when there's no law enforcement to protect the people and launching this war rising up and destroying the fabric of our nation. >> host: you've you said white people wearing black lives matter teachers and antifa might he have office well in summary or push back of your point of view might be hey there please why people are getting into this fight to help black people and your point would be their fight isn't about white or black. their fight is about marxism. >> guest: it's about the selection. they don't have a crystal ball but i knew this was going to happen becaus

so that's the reason why, after coming out with the contract with black america i really went hard atthey were going to do financially for the black community specifically. so that was the quest. maria: president trump is talking about extending lending. he is talking about $40 billion in new lending and then that times 10 in order to allow the black community to create businesses, start ups about. did you help him with his platinum plan in terms of that item, helping black america create business? >> what i tried to do was emphasize that you know, we've been under a smoke cloud of words like minority, people of color, diversity, urban, all these trick words that really puts us under all of america. we only get 2% of those programs. so i wanted to, basically tell the administration that, look, black people have paid an enormous debt. i'm talking about the sentence of slaves in this country, have paid an enormous debt. there is enormous debt owed. some estimate that the country has lost about 1trillion dollars due to racism. so with these things in place i wanted to make sure that anyt

it's not just because of things he did to black america but also because of his record in vietnam war and other things he knew was going on. i think it's crazy that black americans don't know any of this. we were taught he was the best thing to happen and that wasn't true. >> the polls show in this question what do you have to lose and more and more of them are breaking towards donald trump's way. let's go back to the republican party's history. the origin party was obviously anti-slavery when black americans got the chance to vote they started to vote overwhelmingly for the republican party, but the republican party itself earned a bit of scorn as they embraced this strategy under richard nixon. could jackie robinson had been a republican, martin luther king senior had been a longtime republican but in the 60s it seemed the republican party seemed to bobble the ball with these important voters. i think that is our history that we have to talk about as well. we see those in the republican party and do you believe that the party is nothing like that today? >> the republican party isn't

you made news because you unveiled what you call the contract with black america.d trump of everything and just how the news spiraled. i wanted to talk to you about the contract, it is i 13 part plan that was inspired by many of the things that happened during 2020 but really the journey that black americans have been on, what is the 13 plan for america. >> well, i mean, it's actually more than that. we have a 22 page plan. we had 13 pretty much bullet points that we wanted to try to get senators and congress people and people to just kind of agree to and hopefully sign. and so we were more or less pushing an abbreviated version of concepts. but the contract is thorough and growing. we are going to have a section on sports. we're tbing to have a section on women, black women. so we're growing the contract, you know, daily. so the 13 points were just common sense things, you know, things that can hopefully open up its wealth gap. everybody has been really putting a lot of energy into police brutality. >> right. >> so we wanted to put energy into economics because we

piece reads in part, "vernon jones sees a continuance of trump's fiscal policies as a way for black america to pursue financial uplift. he believes trump's ability to "swim against the grain" is a sign of strength. justice blackmun have always had to be strong. when jones told me that trump is a strong man and a man's man, i felt erased as a black woman. these traits can quickly devolve into toxic masculinity. vernon jones the aforementioned joins me now. he's a democratic georgia state representative and a trump campaign surrogate and richard fowler, senior follow. thank you very much for being here tonight. vernon, how did you take what she wrote about you there, what your take away? >> i take it this way. first of all when women are

he wrote a contract with black america, a series of policy goals to improve quality of life for blackthe democrats told him, that's very nice that you put that together, we will talk to you after the election. meanwhile the trump campaign said let's build out a platinum plan for black america, let's use the contract with black america as a foundation for that and it lays out specific benchmarks and objectives regarding investments in jobs and the things that can really allow our fellow americans of all colors and races and backgrounds and faiths to live better lives. the democrats are interested in your views and your goals after you vote. the republicans want to incorporate ideas right now like funding for historically black colleges and universities like prison reform, criminal justice reform, things that the democrats have talked about and pandered about, things the republicans got done. >> exactly. just wrap it up, sarah we have to move on, just as they look, they called trump a racist but they've actually made the republic and party more inclusive and more diverse. thank you both

was built off the back of slaves everything from the democratic party in terms black america i like to say there's something about progressive principles leading to results of the minority community because what the left believes and relies on is the permanent underclass this is why marxism is a tenant of all their principles the heterosexual versus homosexual versus skinny people because they truly believe once you divide you can conquer everything that conservatives are against so there is a real history and currently in the public school system he aims the civil rights bill this is to the point it should be humorous but it is outrageous and then to vote against every single measure to get a black americans progress and agency low and behold to take a shot and with the civil rights act because of the by is taking place throughout the country and then introduce the great society act of perfect machiavellian scheme to attack the black family as he said and with the and word for the democrats for the next 200 years of trying to disrupt his plan that we are not democrats the ne

both campaigns wanted to talk to me about the contract with black america.ampaign said, we love what you have, but let's really dig into it after the election. and one campaign said, we love what you have. do you mind talking to us about it? and that's what i did. i didn't run to nobody. and so that was really misleading to me. >> i didn't san you ran to anybody. i said that you had taken a pivot. >> you said i ran over to the trump team instead of the biden team. that's just not true. they both contacted me. >> you are working with the trump team instead of the biden team and people are giving you heat for it. what do you say to them? >> i am willing to work with both teams. i am willing to work with whoever is willing to work with me. the trump campaign came the me and asked me to explain to them some of the contract with black america. that's what i did. i am not saying no more of these games, these political games. we are not part of a team. we have very broad problems, especially the wealth gap in this country when it comes to black americans. so i am g

so that's the reason why, you know, after coming out with the contract with black america, i really wentaigns to see a what they were going to do financially for the black community specifically. so that was the quest. maria: president trump is talking about extending lending, he's talking about the $40 billion in new lending, and then that times ten in order to allow the black community to create businesses, start-up business. did you help him with his platinum plan in terms of that item, helping black america create business? >> what i e tried to do was emphasize that, you know, we've been under a smoke cloud of words like minority, people of color, diversity, urban, all these truck words that really puts us under all of america. we only get 2% of those programs. so i wanted to basically tell the administration that, look, black people have paid an enormous debt. i'm talking about the sentence of slaves in this country have paid an enormous debt. there's an enormous debt owed. some estimate that the country has lost about $16 trillion due to racism. so with these things at play, i want

a 1000000 new jobs 500000 new black businesses all specifically and exclusively for the black community in america and c.n.n. and that's in d.c. feels to cover the black community by a large those other news outlets that that i would my community watches and so love my people were in the dark about it i had a bishop of a large reformation church reformation when i told him about it he said i knew nothing about it why don't i know this and i said where are you getting your information from and so once again the media has become the propaganda arm for the democratic party the liberal left wing media and the right wing media is like a voice crying in the wilderness and it is up american public has been deceived the american public has been kept in the dark so to speak on a number of the positive count i mean mistress i mean i think anyone's what he when he signed his wouldn't accuse that media of being a left wing incidentally and surely and i'm not speaking for those channels that you're referring to but they will said that 210000 dead because of coronavirus the worst death toll in the world disprop

but i'm also a black woman in america and that is coming before all of those other things and so i'm just happy that. my colleagues are able to discuss these issues openly hopefully without fear of retribution or being you know policed internally is there the difference that there needs to be more diversity in the newsroom so that you feel like you can say what you need to say without fear of retribution without being accused of having a bias because of your race i think e.s.p.n. has the same blind spot in issues that a lot of media outlets have still overwhelmingly white still a lot of people making the content decisions are white and because of that there is a lack of sensibility that is there's that just. too so that there is. you know i couldn't help but notice that a lot of these companies were putting out these very flowery print statements about racial inclusion and suddenly saying black clouds matter and they considered it occurs where 4 years ago that's all great that's good however what is your organizational chart look like if you're organizational chart does not reflect t

platinum plan everything is he doing for black america, it was like a train wreck. and it. ainsley: i want to get your reaction from her closing argument. watch. this stoking fears about black and brown americans, lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs? whipping up violence and intimidation. and they are pinning it all on what has been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement. ainsley: stacey? >> so, ainsley, first of all, president trump is aware briefing room outside of the oval office. is he aware that 52% of black americans live in the suburbans. thisuburbs.speaking at obama are away suburban homes i'm black live in the suburbs. high density low income housing right next to me on the lot next door where my subdivision has a three acre minimum. this is about local control. it's not about black people but more importantly, ainsley, this is a distraction. the obamas are being trotted out to distract black americans from the fact that biden has no agenda. he has no plans for black america. ainsley: staysy, thank you so much for joining us. stacey washington.

blacks have been property in america longer than we've been allowed to own and home ownership remains a key component of the american dream and wealth building in the u.s. but for blacks home ownership has been greatly hampered due to redlining racism in lending and devaluation in property values even after a home is purchased but one thing we can't seem to get away from is the notion of black buying power the n.b.c. publish an article in july looking at black buying power growth and racial profiling by retailers news one a popular media outlet for black community news has spoken many times on the phenomenon of black buying power in february an article titled black buying power by the numbers stated quote the wealth of black people in america and the gap between other racial groups have been well documented but that doesn't mean black folks don't have any money to spend even though the racial wealth gap is widening black people can spend money with the best of them statistics show. with nearly $50000000.00 black people in the us black consumers spend more than one trillion dollars a y
