Revitalize the economy in communities being left out and left behind. It’s unacceptable that so many African American families live in pockets of extreme poverty and that so many African American youths are unable to secure a good job. Hillary’s Economic Revitalization Initiative will invest $125 billion to create good-paying jobs, rebuild crumbling infrastructure, and connect housing to opportunity in communities that have been neglected for too long:
$50 billion to create millions of new jobs and provide pathways of opportunity. As president, Hillary will work to create jobs in communities that are being left out. Her plan includes $20 billion to create youth jobs, particularly for African American, Native American, and Latino youth; $5 billion to create reentry programs that will help formerly incarcerated Americans get back on their feet when they return to society; and $25 billion to support entrepreneurship and small business growth in underserved communities.
$50 billion in infrastructure investments to connect working families to good-paying jobs and opportunity. Too many Americans are trapped in so-called “opportunity deserts,” where a lack of reliable transportation keeps them from accessing good-paying jobs. As president, Hillary will make significant investments in public transit to connect the unemployed and underemployed to jobs they need. She will also rebuild crumbling water systems to preserve public health and create jobs and opportunity for local residents and small businesses.
$25 billion to remove blight from neighborhoods, remove barriers to sustainable homeownership, and connect affordable housing to economic opportunity. Centuries of housing discrimination have excluded people of color from the mainstream mortgage market and cut families off from communities with high-performing schools, safe streets, and good-paying jobs. Hillary will fight to ensure that housing policy and the housing market serve to connect every family to economic opportunity, rather than exclude them. And she’ll empower communities to overcome pockets of blight and give local businesses a chance to flourish.
The reason Bernie thinks black people care more about criminal justice reform than anything else is the same reason why he thinks all black people are poor and live in "the ghetto"!
I forgot about that. Well he did spend most of his life in Vermont.
Bernie thinks black issues are crime and poverty b/c that's all "black leaders" talk about, plus racism. Thats all Hilary talks about as well in front of black audiences. So lets not play the "Bernie's out of touch" card as if Hilary was doing commercials about work programs aimed at black community.
I just watched the Rachel Maddow interview with Jane Sanders. I feel that Jane is more eloquent and can answer questions better than either Bernie or Hillary, tbh
Probably. She only made one gaffe iirc. She's good

The economy is consistently the top issue for all voters. It's like how people assume Latinos are mostly concerned about immigration. Of course it matters, but polling has never shown it to be the top concern overall.

why do people act like the president should solve everyones problems im just looking for someone who wont drive the country down the drain like bush did. our local and state elections affect us much more directly.

Tbh. People are always lookng for a savior at POTUS when local officials are WAY more directly influential. But people (well, liberals) only pay attention in Presidential years. Shame.
Well yeah. But that doesn't mean it's the TOP issue. It's not going to make or break a campaign.
Discrimination is a lot more important an issue than you're making it out to be. As a minority myself, I'd hope our future president would make it a top priority.
She won't. When have the Clinton's ever helped the outlook for black people?
I don't see how you go back and forth with them daily. Her fans are the pits.
Yet you post baseless accusations and expect people to blindly accept this as fact. The only people who would ever agree with this are people who hate her already.

Sorry for wanting a president who will make sure nobody else will end up like my cousin who is wasting his youth away for selling like five nugs to an undercover officer
None of this is specifically trying to help black people. I looked through the plans and it's for all people; she just throws "communities of color" and "African-Americans" in whenever it's been a while.
So as I expected, Hillary Clinton plans on doing nothing more for the black community than Bernie does. Her supporters in here say "there's a reason why she has the black vote over Bernie" and point to her plans but her plans aren't doing anything special.
