Ya'll can shout and stamp your feet, but Trump isn't getting any significant number of African American votes, nor is he going to improve on the historical record since Reagan. Not gonna happen.

And the only thing in the Republican platform that appeals to me is lower taxes, but I'm a realist and I know that a balanced budget typically requires reduced spending AND increased revenue.
So Democrats telling blacks they are too stupid to get IDs to vote, or taking school choice away from them isn't racist? The party of slavery and the klan isn't racist? Lyndon Johnson saying in regards to the civil rights act
"I'll have those ni**ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” Isn't racist? Come on, you know it and I know it...the left thinks black people cant do a damn thing for themselves and must hold their hands from cradle to grave.

That is about as racist as it gets. My wife and her family had enough of this years ago and never looked back. They will not be pandered to by some b**** who's mentor was none other then that despicable KKK leader Robert Byrd. Racism applies to the democrat party and is their foundation. Time for my black brothers and sisters to say enough, and flip the switch on these progressive racists. You will not be taken for granted anymore!

Maybe so, but anyone who is going into the voting booth to vote for Hillary, thinking they are voting for someone who is not racist, is either willfully ignorant, or truly ignorant.

I will repost this Huffington Post article...

How Can Black People Trust Hillary Clinton After the 2008 Campaign?

I would agree that racists exists in both parties (Republicans tend to be louder and prouder about it) and the Democrats definitely have their flaws but Republican policies do not help minority communities. Decreasing welfare while refusing to raise minimum wage does not end poverty. Outlawing abortion while cutting sex ed programs does not decrease the number of single parent households. Repealing the Affordable Care Act while not offering an alternative is helpful how?? Decreasing taxes while increasing spending (because deporting millions of illegal immigrants is going to cost money) is not a sound fiscal plan.

What Republican policies are going to help minority communities??? And just saying "well the stuff the Democrats tried didn't work" isn't an answer.

This thread isn't about Hillary, who routinely goes into black churches and speaks to--and with--blacks regularly. It's about Trump who absolutely refuses to do so.

You can't refute the fact that he refuses to speak to black groups. But you don't have to, it's obvious to everyone reading this thread. And more importantly, it's obvious to blacks. They know he won't talk to them, and they also know he sure has no problem talking about them to his all white crowds.

They're taking note, even if you want to pretend otherwise. Which is why his numbers are so dismal with blacks and other minorities.

I haven't tried to pretend otherwise. It's true. Regardless, I do believe his policies will create more jobs for African Americans, whether intentional or as a byproduct. Good intentions are nice, but I care more about results.

It would be great if blacks get more good jobs. I have seen so many talented, smart blacks that need jobs all over the net and TV. This economy has hurt blacks the most. When all rich get richer and blacks get nothing but a welfare check just to exist is robbing them of advancement and the American dream. Why should illegals get before black people.? Blacks have been taken for granted and get nothing for their vote.

Illegal is the new black. Just ask anyone from California.

So you just suggested that blacks are largely on welfare.


I can think of one thing AAs get with their vote- The ability to vote. Republicans sure don't want them to based on voting rights legislation in multiple states.
