Trump wants to encourage blacks that they too can live the dream. Get into a good school, work hard, have goals, move up the ladder and live the American dream.
Many of us have already done all of that. Trump and his supporters can't help but hold on to the stereotypical view of poor, dumb, lazy Blacks, which is exactly what he peddles, and uses to try to appeal to the Black community (and his White supporters who desperately want to be convinced that he's not racist)...
Its not working because most of us don't know these poor, dumb, criminal Blacks that you all keep referring to. For the most part, they don't vote in large numbers, and the only thing Trump and his supporters are doing with this "What do you have to lose, stupid?" approach is making those of us that do vote, hate him, and everything he stands for.

Wow. Is it possible for you to be anymore condescending? Trump voters are walking dumpster fires.
The KKK was formed by the democrats. All slave owners were democrats, Not one republican owned a slave.
The Jim Crow laws were formed by the democrats.
Lynchings of blacks were by democrats.
Republicans have been fighting for the rights of blacks for hundreds of years.
Republicans fought for the rights of women to vote.
The democrats never helped the blacks out of the ghetto.
Why are you talking about stuff that happened generations ago before the parties basically switched positions completely? Republicans once being better on minority issues has no bearing on the status of the party now, which has sadly devolved into a white nationalist hate group.

That is the lie.. they didn't switch.
Lyndon Johnson who expanded welfare said this.
“I’ll have those ******s voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” —Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One - “These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”—LBJ
In the mad dash to vilify the Republicans and Conservatives today many have forgotten the fact that it was the Republican Party that was the champion of Civil Rights and freedom for African Americans.
The fact is the major minority communities in the US - African Americans, Jews, Hispanic, LGBTs, Asian Americans, etc. will be overwhelming voting for the Democrats. The Republicans have a lot of work to do to attract these voting blocs

Basically and simplified, when Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, people opposed to expanding civil rights for blacks and other minorities fled the Democratic party for the GOP and people who supported an expansion of civil rights joined the Democrats.
Johnson was a very complicated man and an extremely skilled politician. He could say hateful, racist things one day and meet with MLK the next. But the bottom line is he pushed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through Congress and that was a huge factor in the realignment of the parties.
