What can a President do that is specifically beneficial to people who are black? I didn't know if that could get thru the courts with the anti-discrimination laws that are on the books.

When the 235 Housing Program was initiated, people thought it was for black people. My mother, a single white woman qualified and got her first and only house under that program because she was poor and the program couldn't specify a race, only income level. There were plenty of low income single white women in the early 70s. I've read complaints that white women bag the benefits intended for black people, as if there is such a thing. There's the rub, is there even such a thing?

Some claim DEI does that, but I don't think it is that exclusive. Exclusive inclusiveness? Sure.

We have anti-discrimination laws and programs for people who are poor, but black people don't have a monopoly on that.

So I ask, what could Joe Biden or Kamala Harris have done specifically for black people to earn the "black vote"? For that matter, what can Trump do to specifically harm black people and not sink everyday white or brown people with them? Was Barack Obama able to do anything to improve the lives of black people?

Maybe, just maybe, the black people who voted for Trump were tired of the bullshit pandering and being treated like chumps. But I can't speak for them.
