I'll agree with you on your latter point that black people are the least racist group in the world.

Trump not having the awareness to realize he should have minorities on the short list when he is already in the hole with minorities is just more inexperience and stupidity from his campaign.

You honestly think he's vetted any of these people anyways? One of his people gave him a list and he tweeted it out. Trump doesn't know anything about any of these judges. Neither do you by the way, and neither do I.

Identity politics. The way dummies decide who to vote for.

Not identity politics. Identity politics is choosing someone specifically because of there identity.

There are many capable minority judges who could be considered. Not considering at least one is lack of awareness and stupidity with his poor standing with minority voters.

That's a very white list - no blacks or minorities.

But, but, isn't there another thread here saying no black people will vote for Trump. That would put those potential justices in the NeverTrump group. Why pick them? They obviously don't see eye to eye with him.

So he didn't pass your PC test? Trump doesn't believe that being a white male is a crime and it drives the liberals mad. A proud, white male isn't allowed in today's PC culture.

Well after the VP list fiasco it's really hard to take a Trump list seriously.

In the end, it reinforces the Trump campaign as a white man only campaign which further diminishes his chances as he has no chance to win without a sizable minority vote.
Sorry, but Trump will win the election without a sizable Black vote. Every Republican that wins does. Catering to the Black vote in order to sway 2-3 percent of Black voters is nothing more than a waste of time. Everyone knows that at least 90 percent of Blacks will vote the dem ticket no matter what a Republican candidate says or does. It's like the law of gravity, it will never change. Good for him for not pandering to them.
