In an explosive interview with Vanity Fair, Michael Cohen confirms the obvious, that Donald Trump is a well documented racist who used racially charged rhetoric frequently prior to his election. Is anyone surprised? Yet according to some, Trumps overall approved among Blacks stands at a staggering 50%.
Is talking smack about race all you lefties can do? And if you're gullible enough to believe a known liar like Cohen you really have some serious issues.
The right cares about blacks untilm they take a knee..
also referring to them leaving the democratic party as “leaving the plantation” is pretty off putting. Claing dema are the racist party when making a racist reference to slavery.
I think both Democrats and Republicans tend to put Blacks last. However, I do find Democrats are more likely to address issues important to me such as police brutality, job discrimination, voter suppression.
I also notice this. Whenever the right brings up Democrats and racism, nearly all of it dates back to the late 19th century to the 1950s. One talks about the KKK of those days. However, it is never mentioned that southern Democrats were actually the conservatives of those times. The racist Democrats of earlier times switched to the Republican Party (particularly in the South) in the years following the passing of important civil rights legislation.
No, not every Republican is a racist. Persons like George Voinovich(former mayor of Cleveland) and John Kasich (former governor of Ohio) have shown they can do alright among Blacks. What I'm saying is that many among the right wing will often disregard why many Blacks don't have such a nice view of the Republican Party.
In Georgia where I live, we have a corrupt secretary of state running for governor, Brian Kemp. He purged voters off of the rolls claiming they no longer lived in Georgia. It was found that most of the voters he purged from the rolls still lived in Georgia. He also tried to keep newly naturalized citizens from voting, but the Supreme Court shut him down today. A large number of voters affected have been minorities. Minorities make up about 42% of the state's population. African-Americans are 30% of Georgia's population. I suspect Brian Kemp has engaged in his voter purging because he figures very few Blacks will vote for him or any Republican. To understand Georgia, it is very politically divided, and race is a major factor. Outside of the 4 highest populated counties of metro Atlanta, majority Black counties vote Democratic and majority Whites counties vote Republican. Fulton County (Atlanta) and DeKalb are Democratic. Cobb and Gwinnett counties are leaning Democratic.

Ya I find it hilarious when blacks are brought up in support of the republican party.
Then they change their views when suddenly police brutality is brought up or any reasoning as to kneeling is brought up.
They just care about the vote and nothing else and any complaints black folks have is fake news like Voter Suppression.
I'll believe it when I see those issues brought up aswell.
I don't see dems as saints but I feel like republicans are playing nice rn for the midterms.

I just find it pathetic. Kanye West was Trump's little buddy when he was saying things like "slavery was a choice" and wearing the MAGA has. Many on the right suddenly loved him. When he ended all of that, suddenly the praises end.
Like you say, it is about the vote. No really interest in actually helping Blacks. Kanye West was used as a way of saying "see, we're not racist, Blacks love us".
As for those issues, Trump said he was for stop and frisk. We know S&F is unreasonable search and seizure. Less than probable cause and it opens the door for more racial profiling. A big reason NOT to vote for Trump.
The Left refers to Cohen as the fixer until he "flips" and says nasty things about Trump.
Yet, as in the Leftist Kavanaugh debacle, there is no evidence and no credibility. Show me a recording or a CREDIBLE witness to the comments, and I will be concerned.
Just because you believe that Trump is a racist doesn't make it so. However....

Paints and entirely different reality to the Leftist plantation narrative.
Yes, it shows a steady decline since 2012. What does that have to do with Trump making racist comments?
