Since there are billions of stars out there and billions more planets in the habitable zones around them, the possibility of that being true somewhere is still no.

The cry for "reparations" is back!

Segregated schools ended back in the 60's. The Equal Rights Act was signed around '64 I believe, and many of today's blacks STILL blame "whitey" for their plight!

"whitey" gave them FREE education through high school, gave them black teachers to teach them, black school administrators to enure thy got a "good deal", black mayors , black Chief's of Police, Affirmative Action to put them at the head of the line for jobs, entrance into colleges, AHEAD of whites, etc. free gov't housing, or at a very reduced rate, food stamps for food etc. free phones, yet may STILL CAN'T "get ahead".

But it is "whitey's fault"

As they say, "you can lead a horse to water BUT, you CAN'T make him drink!"

THANKFULLY tens, probably hundreds, of THOUSANDS of blacks HAVE taken advantage of the opportunities offered to them and ARE "living the American dream"!

If the unemployment rate for blacks was zero and salaries much higher, why would that endear us to Trump? He’d have absolutely nothing to do with it and would deserve no attribution whatsoever....nor would he get any.

Know what’s racist? YOU making a determination that African Americans owe fealty to Trump just because YOU say so. Who TF are you anyway? LMAO...we don’t take advice from you.
Thats ok because we hated Obama.

I am speaking for myself. I’m black. I don’t know what the hell you are.

You’re not owed any answers. Who are you? I acknowledged your post. That’s more than you deserve. Be grateful.


Oh lord. Now you’re black too.

Anyway, back to being serious...you know that the black vote will be all over that 2020 election. And it ain’t going for Trump. Actual Black folks know that.
Whats an actual black folk?

White guilt is so pathetic.

The above photo op requires my willing suspension of disbelief. No can do.

And, the cloying -- OMG the cloying was OVER the top. I had to put on the hip waders!

The world knows he's a charlatan. Only his base are in the dark. Literally.

But, maybe they're catching on. That's a firm maybe. Lol.


According to a recent PBS/NPR poll;

"Trump's approval rating down and his disapproval rating up from a month ago. He currently stands at 39 percent approve, 53 percent disapprove — a 7-point net change from December when his rating was 42 percent approve, 49 percent disapprove.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/17/68553...lips-with-base

And the movement has come from within key portions of his base. He is:
  • Down significantly among suburban men, a net-positive approval rating of 51-to-39 percentto a net-negative of 42 percent approve, 48 percent disapprove. That's a net change of down 18 percentage points.
  • Down a net of 13 points among white evangelicals, from 73-to-17 percent approve to 66-to-23 percent approve.
  • Down a net of 10 points among Republicans,from 90-to-7 percent approve to 83-to-10 percent.
  • Down marginally among white men without a college degree, from 56-to-34 percent approve to 50-to-35 percent approve, a net change downward of 7 points."

And to pay for the tax cuts Trumps budget cuts programs for black Americans in everything from healthcare, housing assistance, to Social Security.

And Donald Trump lies to and manipulates black Americans. Example,

Black unemployment rate by year,

2009- 16.1
2010- 15.5
2011- 15.4
2012- 14.0
2013- 11.9
2014- 10.6
2015- 8.5
2016- 7.9
2017- 6.8
2018- 5.9
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006

Under Obama the unemployment rate for black Americans fell by 8.2%
Under Trump the unemployment rate for black Americans fell by 0.9%.

And Donald Trump claims to be the job creation King for black Americans.


The KKK officially endorsed Donald Trump for president, Trump calls poor African countries "shi- hole countries, and Trump calls KKK members "fine Americans",

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...ations-n836946
https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/15/polit...lle/index.html

And for other non-white Americans, Trump wants to build a wall to keep South Americans out of America, and Trump wants to ban Muslims from entering America.

Great post.

the trumpy set will have to pretend to have not seen it, they are not much use when facts are presented.


These fake stories of _ _ _ _ _(insert a minority) beginning to change their mind about Trump threads, tell us just how much trumpers fear minorities in 2020....

These endless propaganda threads that lie about Trump's support among non whites are posted for two main reasons.


1) The reality of only whites supporting Trump proves he is racist and they need to convince other whites it is not racist to support Trump.

2) Trumpers are delusional enough to believe if they keep saying non whites support trump that maybe some will.....

They take it from their masters at Fox News and hate radio - if say the same thing over and over eventually it must be "true".



This is the most important Republicans find black people (could be Jews, women, etc) who will sell themselves out and tell the racists/bigots etc exactly what they want to hear - case in point Diamond and Silk.....So if it came from a black person such as Diamond and Silk I cannot be racist - look at them black people who support Trump!
