Billionaire presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is attempting to revamp his image. His racist tendencies have been known for a while, but a recently released video of a speech he delivered in 2015 defending stop-and-frisk has many people of color wondering if he’s actually remorseful of his past indiscretions.
Blocked speech of Mike Bloomberg stereotyping criminals in 2015 will not endear him to minorities
His solutions:
- An insincere press release sort of apologizing, but not really
- Attacks on President Trump basically saying “he’s more racist than me”
- Focus on immigration policies to demonstrate he’s not racist anymore
- A campaign promoting endorsements from people of color who can vouch for him as no longer being as racist as he was in the past
Trump took away millions of peoples’ freedom to unite with their families, travel freely between home & school, or support our economy.
We can protect our borders AND welcome immigrants, who make our country stronger. Travel bans are un-American, and on my watch we'll end them. pic.twitter.com/rOuhj5M5Aq

We can’t have a president who runs the country on fear and hate.
Trump’s idea of leadership is to push people apart.
He has no regard for people like Audra Tellez. She's a hardworking mother of two, and represents the very best things about what it means to be an American. pic.twitter.com/o4s9LsRIb2

Donald Trump has vilified Latino immigrants — even though they’re the very people who make our country great.
We need a president who celebrates immigrants. pic.twitter.com/X1ViA2Jw1H

La inmigración no amenaza a EEUU, lo hace más fuerte.
EEUU no necesita más del miedo que infunde Trump.
Necesitamos un sistema de inmigración moderno que honre nuestra historia y nos prepare para el futuro. Aquí está cómo #lolograremos: https://t.co/PcM9wgfVaG

Trump arrancó a millones la libertad de reunirse con su familia, viajar libremente de la casa a la escuela, o apoyar a la economía. Podemos proteger fronteras Y recibir inmigrantes, que nos hacen más fuertes. Prohibiciones de viaje son antiestadounidenses, y terminaré con ellas.

Nuestro sistema migratorio no funciona y las políticas de Trump son ineficientes, crueles y desperdician recursos. Necesitamos un sistema más justo, humano, que nos ayude a crear un camino a la ciudadanía para los 11 millones de indocumentados. https://t.co/6QXAbtzEi6

One of Luis Acosta's earliest memories is crossing the US/Mexico border as a child. When he learned about his undocumented status in high school, his world was shattered — but DACA changed his life.

The America I know welcomes the world. Trump's America is not that America.
But, we can turn the page on this shameful chapter in our country's history.
Together, we can fix our broken immigration system once and for all. pic.twitter.com/jNiTSZsKSw

Mayor @FrankScottJr and I share a commitment to providing opportunity for all – in creating more good jobs with good salaries — all across Little Rock, and all across America. I’m honored to have his support and excited to welcome him to #TeamBloomberg. https://t.co/sSN9nx2d18 pic.twitter.com/hNJWhljIZa

I have apologized for taking too long to understand the impact of stop and frisk on Black and Latino communities.
I inherited stop and frisk. In an effort to stop gun violence, it was overused. I cut it back by 95%.
I should have cut it back sooner. https://t.co/nj2hBJcQP6

I met Rep. @lucymcbath shortly after her son Jordan was killed by gun violence. At the time, I couldn’t imagine the pain she felt, and I still can’t. She has turned her pain into progress — winning a seat in Congress. I’m proud to have earned her support. https://t.co/VY8AKywUKB

After two Category 5 hurricanes devastated the USVI, Rep. Stacey Plaskett’s leadership was essential to helping the Islands get back on their feet.
She recognizes that building more sustainable infrastructure is critical to our future & I’m honored to have her support. pic.twitter.com/katLiBLE8s

It’s great to be kicking things off in Winston-Salem, NC. We’re making three stops in North Carolina today, where early voting is starting.
This is a battleground state. Not only will we win here on Super Tuesday, we’ll win here in November. pic.twitter.com/wnEq4TZHWP

Being a mayor of a large city isn’t easy.
It means taking on challenges both big and small. Issues that affect millions of people and issues that affect a single community.
Houston Mayor @SylvesterTurner has done both. I’m honored to have his support. pic.twitter.com/6O52vCSSQl

It’s important to note that his campaign’s strategy is not to change the subject, but to drown it out with positive pro-Bloomberg perspectives from people of color. It’s the more expensive strategy than simply trying to move on and redirect focus on other issues, but when you have somewhere north of $60 billion behind you, being costlier isn’t a deterrent.
As I noted on Twitter, Bloomberg’s history demonstrates he has a lot to overcome if he wants to earn the minority vote:
Mike Bloomberg is the most anti-minority candidate to run since David Duke. https://t.co/fXotf5OxPA

Bloomberg isn’t trying to win back those he lost over his racism. He’s trying to flood the airwaves so he’s seen by those who aren’t aware of his past. His strategy is to play on the voters’ ignorance. It’s a strategy that just might get him the nomination.
