If you read into my post and reparations came to mind, then you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
You’re Canadian, so in around about way, reparations in a non issue for you.

Being a person of color and descendent of African Slaves and a native born American, I support Trump over Biden or Sanders. Personally, I dislike it when people turn sheet into a Black/White issue.

What do they have to gain? The regressive tax cuts probably didn't help that much, nor would having a known racist in the oval office

At a Trump rally.....if you are black you are more likely to appear on camera than if you are white? If this based upon merit or race? The question is rhetorical because we already know the answer. The party that talks the talk is simply playing the race card.

Also....since when is a plantation a place people WANT to be? Blacks were FORCED to be on plantation as slaves. There is no FORCE making black people willfully reside on the side of the democratic party.....other than the personal choice.
"To be clear, black conservatives are being USED by the right..."

To be clear, black liberals have beenn USED by the LEFT for decades.

"Also....since when is a plantation a place people WANT to be? Blacks were FORCED to be on plantation as slaves."

We have several communicates in the area where I live that have "Plantation" in their name and I KNOW BLACKS who CHOSE to live in them.

Using your "logic"' we should still hate England, and Japan and Germany.

The past is the past, GET OVER IT!

Any more questions feel free to ask but whatever you do don't look into the issue with an open mind while seeking the truth. You can't play the victim card if you do that.
Do you even do any research to verify your claims before you make them? Or do you just make any claim you feel like making and denounce any evidence that contradicts it? Almost 3x (2.6 per million white people and 7.0 per million black people) more black people are killed by police, 21% of black victims were unarmed compared to 14% of whites (Hispanics down the middle at 17%). Click on some of the pins on the map on this website and read about some of the cases that are, and aren't covered in the media.

More along the lines of this topic - there have been repeated efforts to suppress the vote of minorities by the Republican Party.

Truth is Trump treats black folks with equality, and has made a commitment to actually do things for the community. Dems have a record of dismal failure.
1. He said that he doesn’t want black people counting his money, and that he only wants guys wearing yarmulkes counting his money.

2. He deserves to be treated as a birther. He either actually is one or, if not, he’s willing to feed that fantasy as red meat to his base......which might be worse.

yea I get it, something like issues that women have is quickly dismissed. I'll bet black men are also guilty of the offenses toward black women but let's just ignore that. We women are to be seen and not heard. We are supposed to bring home the bacon and fry it up for you. The list goes on. Yea, slavery is still alive and well.

But lets sweek that under the rug.

There was lot of warmth, heart and love in that room, both to and from our President.
In your own words Trump had a "party" with "influential black leaders" and "there was a lot of warmth, heart and love in that room." But what are Trumps actual government policies towards black Americans?


The Trump tax cuts gave low income black workers a 0.8% increase in after-tax income, and then increased the richest 0.1% of Americans after-tax income by 14.2% (adding $2.2 trillion dollars to our national debt.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetno.../#14d7e76565b9
https://time.com/4993389/tax-cuts-your-children/

And to pay for the tax cuts Trump's budget cuts $3.6 trillion dollars from government programs used by black Americans.

Trump's budget cuts funding for Medicaid, job training programs, affordable college programs, healthcare programs, food assistance programs, housing and energy assistance, assistance for people with disabilities, ex.ex.

Trumps corporate deregulation will also cause black American workers to get less overtime pay, less retirement savings, more wage theft, and more work place injuries.

I will concede that president Trump has nice meetings/parties with certain influential black leaders, but what are the actual Trump government policies that help regular black Americans?

Joe Biden's the racist, I heard him use the "N" word on the radio yesterday from an old audio clip when he was first elected in Delaware.

He also took piles of cash from MBNA (shady credit lender) to vote against low income borrowers rights, many of them African Americans who used payday loans, and secured credit cards.

Joe's history is starting to come out now, and a lot of it's bad. He never accomplished 1 thing in the private sector, and has been a Washington DC parasite for 45+ years.

He courts the Black vote, while ignoring Latino's...pathetic racist.

I think, regardless if the Republican party advocated the return of slavery.....there would be black people would support the party and white people who would reward them for it. There will always be black people who will put profit over principle and black people who will agree, in principle, with being anti-black.
