You can bet that Trump wasn't there to tell them they are victims of Whitey. (true identity politics)

BTW, I get why this kind of outreach terrorizes Democrats. It completely destroys their only appeal.
Lol.....you mean the term is like the N word.....with only one group allowed to use it.

I personally don’t have a bone to pick with Trump. I think the economy is doing great under Trump due to the post black president euphoria among the white right, which has acted as an economic stimulus to an economy that was already trending positively when Obama left, and I was never a fan of Obama.

In short, the return of a white president has boosted the consumer sentiment of white peoples. Blacks, being the least desired demographic by white employers, face less discrimination during a full employment economy...when the only person left to hire might be black.

This Trump effect is not based upon policy, but rather, color. It’s the same effect on Detroit when the city elected its current white mayor. Whites felt more confident because whites were in control....again. Investors started rolling in and now the white guy gets the credit for turning the city around.

It's well known that the GOP advertises in certain areas to get people to attend rallies, for payment. There are copies of the Craigs List ads for it. The ads I saw asked in particular for minorities.

Remember that rally back in 2016 where Trump points to & says, "There's my African American!" LOL! The one black person at the rally. LOL! The man later identified himself...he was paid to go there.

They have no hope of getting the AA vote, so I guess they just want to peel off some to hurt the Democratic candidates. They think AAs are too stupid to know the Republican Party (which embraces the neoNazis and white supremacists) does not have the interests of people of color uppermost in its policies or ideology. Most AAs are astute politically, though. They have had to be.

It's sarcasm.

As a person who is supposed to be a racist who hates black people (according to many), for some reason he keeps wanting to make our lives better.

In other words, he is terrible at hating black folk.

Obviously my sarcasm needs work this morning.
