I still shake my head when he refers to Black Americans as "The Blacks".
why does the use of pronouns make you shake your head?
you must do an awful lot of head-shaking on any given day.

Looks like being a "bad hombre" is cool.

More faux-outrage by the lilly-white media establishments.

that argument is entirely devoid of logic.
prefacing a term with the pronoun 'the' in no way implies that the term in question is any more of a 'large, uniform mass' than the same term used without the pronoun.
sheer vox-level inanity.

It's cultural appropriation. It is not allowed.

How deliberate, and how stupid do they think America is?

Hombre means MAN!!! Nothing More, nothing less!!!!

Matter of fact, there was a movie made Entitled Hombre, with Paul Newman?????

It is so obvious, what the media is trying to pull.....
Goes with their new claim the emails were "stolen" The party of WTH!


Possibly, Hillary needs to start passing out "cloths!"

A lot of black Americans do not call our selves African-American since we are not African, we are American. I have no cultural connection to Africa.

That said, the only thing I cared about in regards to Trump and "the blacks/African-Americans" is that he said that those of us who live in the inner city don't have jobs, get shot at while walking down the street, are uneducated, and live in "hell." He is in some sort of bad 1980s stereotypical movie IMO. I rolled my eyes at his comments on "African-Americans." And I only took offense to me being uneducated, shot at, etc., not that he called me an "African-American."

I know he is speaking to white Americans when he talks about us. Those who, like him, believe false stereotypes about black people.
Wasn't he mostly speaking about Chicago?
