Because they don't want them to remember their party's history of slavery, blame whitey also helps deflect their anger over Clinton's harsh penalties of minority's for crack possession that destroyed the family unit. This is something I see Republicans making the same mistake with deporting illegal immigrants. George Bush was right about amnesty, Trump is right for tighter border controls, Obama was right about tougher immigration standards.
Dixiecrats aren't Democrats. The descendants of slave owners and the Confederacy vote Republican now
I’m still cracking up at the original premise of this thread which postulates that African Americans should be “Yassuh Bossin” Donald Trump.
Right wingers used to be far more subtle in the past. Now they’re just boldly telling us to go buy shoeshine kits and do a little buckdance and head scratch for ‘em.
I am an African-American woman. I select my candidates based upon merit and their alignment with my beliefs. I have never lived in poverty. I have never been the recipient of food stamps or any other social service-type program. I have multiple college degrees in science, tech and business. I would never vote for Trump or anyone who supports his policies.
I'm a native of NY State. We know his history. His rental company has a history of denying housing for people of color. He targeted the Central Park Five by taking out full-page ads demanding the death penalty for them. After they were exonerated by DNA evidence, he refused to acknowledge their innocence. He led the charge in the Obama birtherism conspiracy. He lies DAILY and the lies are often easily refuted. He doesn't seem to comprehend science or understand how to conduct himself in a manner that is respectful. His admitted disrespect for women and the anatomical parts that he likes to grab would make it impossible for me, as the mother of daughters to ever hold him up as an ideal candidate for any office.
I would not vote for any politician who wants to co-mingle church and state. I would not bestow a vote on any politician who cannot denounce the activities and support of white supremacists. I will never support legislation to diminish a woman's right to control her own body.
So, let's talk about the things that Trump has done for me, my relatives, and my friends of color...
NOT A D*MN THING!!!

"Roving white supremacists" are the people who should be ( & have frankly admitted to being ) most appreciative for no longer having to be so subtle. Thank the Gods they're a minuscule group.
Well, you didn't call out ghetto scum specifically. You said BLACKS, not ghetto scum. And you said you avoid BLACKS, not ghetto scum. You even admitted that you can't tell between decent Blacks and bad Blacks.
You didn't call out "ghetto scum". You talked about Blacks. Don't try that double talk with me. I grew up around it.
And of course you don't think some of the things Trump said are bigoted. You're not fond of Blacks very much. Of course you don't think calling Blacks "stupid" for not voting for Trump is bigoted. Of course you don't think singling out a Black person and basically embarrassing him at a rally is bigoted. Of course you don't think blaming the Baltimore riots on the President and bringing his ethnicity into it is bigoted. You have a bigoted mentality, so of course there are things that you don't think are bigoted. It's normal for you.
Not knowing the good from the bad I avoid all until I get to know them.

It's funny, and sad at the same time. We have a time period in U.S. history when this happened. Jim Crow. And slavery too.
It wasn't this desperate back in 2004. This crap started in 2008, and has recently become more bold in 2012.
I would also say it shows some resentment towards Blacks.
I think it does show two things:
1. Inability of the right wing to understand that not everyone agrees that a laisse faire system of low taxes and less government regulation is a good thing. This is something conservatives just go nuts over. They think everyone ought to see that this is a "superior system" and when someone tries to argue with that they become quite upset. Its usually when the adjectives like "socialist, lib-ur-al, communist" start to flow from their lips because many cannot construct a rational retort.
2. Contempt for black people. I think what really gets them are the numbers. Even Hillary carried 90% of the black vote. Doug Jones down in Alabama carried something on the order of the votes of 99% of all black women living in Alabama in the special election for the US Senate. What is interesting is that many political parties would act differently when they got these results. Instead of blaming black people they would look at their agenda and at least try to soften certain parts of it. For example, simply acknowledging racism is a real thing would go a long ways. Yet, many republicans today actually believe the only racism in the country is directed at white people.

Then at least quit trying to backtrack and make excuses. Don't try to tell me "it's ghetto scum" you admit you can't tell the difference. And you said earlier that my race "hasn't made a good impression". Well, think about this. You aren't making a good impression. For some reason, I've run into a few people on city-data from the Pittsburgh area (yourself included) who have made comments indicating having a disdain for Blacks. No, I do not think all people from the region are like this. However, you (and some of the other persons from that region) are not making a good impression as far as the Pittsburgh area is concerned. Many people are going to remember what you say (and a few other persons from the region) and think "wow, people from Pittsburgh are kind of racist". You might want to think about that.

You'll find something bad about them right away, no matter what. Best to isolate yourself from everyone. You are better off without them, and they are better off without you since they have most likely already determined you are bad, of course...

If anyone judges everyone in Pittsburgh from some comments made by me in this thread they are a fool.
