\u201c<\/strong>The former president, while president, enacted some initiatives that speaks to my community specifically and other people as well.\u201d<\/p>\nThe record company founder also spoke about the former president\u2019s actions, such as creating permanent funding for HBCUs, the First Step Act, legislation to combat sickle cell anemia, and opportunity zones promoting investment in low-income neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/strong>People have more confidence that he will keep his word, and I think it\u2019s kind of based on some of the same research that we did, that when somebody doesn\u2019t campaign on something but actually enacted laws . . . that wants to double down on what he did in the first administration,\u201d the music mogul said.<\/p>\n\u201c<\/strong>I haven\u2019t heard that from the other side as much. I mean, what I\u2019ve heard, I believe, frankly, came a little bit too late, too little, too late. And so, when it comes to a balancing act, and you have to make a decision, the critical decision that could affect your life and the life of your family, you have to go based on facts, and the facts are that for the last three and a half years, the previous, the present administration hasn\u2019t really focused on our community,\u201d Harris added.<\/p>\nHe said that \u201cthere\u2019s nothing to refer to of substance\u201d that was done by the current administration to \u201chelp elevate our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut even with that said, I still put the challenge out to both candidates and President Trump tapped in and that support meant a lot to our organization but more importantly to our community that somebody is committing to working with us to deal with real issues in the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Fox News questioned the music mogul as to why he believes the vice president has struggled to gain the support of black voters the way previous Democrats have.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/strong>I think that, people at large, I just want to be honest here. Don\u2019t understand the intelligence of the black community,\u201d Harris responded. \u201cI think that they put them in a box and just think that everybody suffers from the herd mentality, that just because certain parts of our community say we should do this, then everybody should do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m not saying that some people don\u2019t fall into that bracket, but a lot of people go back to reality. They have to go back to reality, because they are living in reality that their groceries is triple or double the gas is double or triple that just to be able to rent or pay their mortgage is double. Things have changed for them in a dramatic way in the last four years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when somebody starts saying \u2018vote for me just because,\u2019 it is insulting, and I think that that\u2019s what the fallback is, somebody is going to vote for you for a double-up of what they just had. I think people are too intelligent for that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also praised the former president for changing his life by pardoning him on the sentence he was serving on drug trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>I\u2019d been gone for 33 years and President Trump decided to make a difference, and what some people don\u2019t know, I had put in a request for clemency twice under President Obama\u2019s administration and never heard anything back and the fact that President Trump on his way out was able to provide that relief to me and others, I can\u2019t even put words around it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt changed everything for me. It changed everything for my family. It gave me an opportunity to re-engage in society and try to do my part. To make it a better place.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\nHe also mentioned a conversation he had with the former president an hour after he left prison.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/strong>We just sat and talked about issues and about family, and I remember me asking him, you know, because I\u2019m so grateful, you know? \u2018What can I do for you?\u2019 He said you don\u2019t owe me nothing, the only thing you owe me to be honest with you is to be successful,\u201d Harris said. \u201cI read your file. I saw what you had done while you was away, and it was commendable, and I just didn\u2019t think that you should do another day in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former President Donald Trump has secured a massive endorsement from one of the most influential people in the rap music industry.
