Bloomberg spends record $3,500,000 on ads in black media
Michael Bloomberg is spending a record $3.5 million to advertise his presidential campaign in the black news media in an aggressive attempt to garner African American support in his bid to earn the Democratic nomination.Sentiments among many African Americans are split on Bloomberg, who as the former mayor of New York endorsed the contentious stop-and-frisk policing strategy that terrorized many black and Hispanic men in the nation’s largest city.
Tobius Simmons, a church security guard from Harlem, did not have an answer for that, but he questioned how Bloomberg’s past can be ignored. Simmons was referring to the 2015 tape, on which Bloomberg said that “95 percent of murders and murderers and murder victims" are black and Hispanic males 16 to 25 and the way to reduce violence in the city was to throw those targeted men"up against the walls and frisk them.”Kent Davis, 59, a clothing salesman who lives in New York City and has a passion for politics, remains disturbed by that kind of talk from a presidential candidate. But the goal is singular: beat Donald Trump.
Sheryl Wesley, a New Yorker who is the founder of HBCU Brand Partners, which links corporations with historically black colleges, said she does not have to use a lot of words to make her point. When asked about Bloomberg, she said: “We’re for anyone who can beat Trump. That’s where we are.” And then there is Stephen K. Benjamin, the mayor of Columbia, South Carolina and co-chair of the Bloomberg campaign, who said at a news conference that Bloomberg’s plans are “groundbreaking, and it goes to significantly increasing the economic health of African Americans by tripling their net worth.”
