Of course - this has been shoved under the rug.

One of the interesting suggestions that came up - creating an HBCU in that region. That seemed to gain traction in the room.

Trump's increased support in the black community could be pivotal with him being re-elected in 2020.

I think a lot of Democrats may underestimate how much Trump's support has been growing in the African American community.

Once they realize and wake up to how the Democrats have done pretty much nothing for them in past administrations--except keep many of them mired in poverty--Trump is a better option.

Democrats will deny, deny, deny, until the very end. But eventually, reality will smack them in the face. The democrats have done next to nothing to aid African American communities over the past decade. The DNC has considered the black vote to be in their back pocket for decades. As a result, they feel they don't have to serve the African American community in order to maintain their loyalty and get their vote. The only way that will change is if African Americans decide to think for themselves, and for the best interests of their communities.

Something every democrat needs to be asking... How does importing illegals and devoting billions in resources to them help the African American community? How does stirring racial tension help the African American community? How does Maxine Waters telling her majority African American community members to get in the face of Trump supporters and tell them they aren't welcome help the African American community?

Can any democrats tell me what the democratic party has done to actually help the African American community in the past 4 years? Most people who aren't blind or in denial can see what Trump has done. Can any of you say the democrats have done more as of late? And don't blame Trump, he is not standing in the way of democrats helping. He is the one preaching unity, not division.

Trump is a phony, does or says anything to get votes, he's a racist against blacks, Jews, Hispanics and Asians, but he is a big supporter of white supremist groups.

Sounds like you are projecting. After all, it is the democrats who are about to nominate a man who fought tirelessly to preserve segregation in our public schools system. He was on record as saying he did not want his children growing up in a "racial jungle".

And of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Biden's very racist and xenophobic past. If Trump is some kind of racist, than Joe Biden might as well be the grand wizard of the KKK. I wish I could say Joe Biden has moved past his racist roots, but it really appears as though he is set in his ways. He can't help but let his true feelings slip, due to his inability to filter the words and statements that come out of his mouth. He is a disaster waiting to happen every time he is in front of a camera or microphone.

And in case you haven't noticed, all politicians say and do whatever it takes to get elected. That's what they do. Otherwise, they probably aren't going to be very successful in their pursuit of victory, now are they...

Like it or hate it the following is only my opinion:

There are many bad people in this country coming in all colors
with an agenda to destroy America no matter what it takes.
You can see it in the form of daily bombardments that the President
has endured since taking office. Yet he is steadfast in his convictions
of an America for Americans and for Love of God and Country.
The video is one shining example of truth that you will not see aired on any
Left controlled Media Television Station. The people demonstrate Love of
God and Country and standby reelecting the President for 4 more years..............
The Democrats have been exposed.........President Donald Trump 2020.............
