OK, so one black person didn't get the message. Keep reading and watching, perhaps you will eventually get the message..

You can bring up all of Allen West’s Political children till you’re blue in the face. Trump will top out at 8% at best if he’s lucky.
For you to say that only 8% of blacks are intelligent is racist...

But thanks for your contribution to the discourse.
So ... you claim to know the approx 43,000,00 blacks in America personally and know what they think and whether or not it resonates?

If Trump captures even just 12% of the black vote, it’s all over but the crying!

He seems to know how all blacks think. It’s like Biden said, blacks aren’t diverse like Latinos.

If I was AA I'd be so damn insulted if someone said I would be voting for Biden simply because of the color of my skin.

I think she understand the priority perfectly. Get elected by the 700,000 people in her district FIRST, and then set about making national policy which insure that ALL Americans get a chance at success.
ALL!

You speak words of wisdom.
Take Philadelphia County, PA. Trump won the state by 46,000 votes.

Hillary - 584,000 votes; Trump - 108,000 votes.
Biden will not get any more votes than Hillary, and may get far fewer. Trump will have been able to convert some D votes. So his numbers will improve. He won't WIN Philadelphia County, but he will pick up votes beyond what he got in 2016 (108,000).
67 counties in PA. Trump took 56 of them, Hillary got the rest. Some of them, like Bucks County (also Philadelphia) were very close.

I hope she wins the election — Baltimore really needs a leader like her.

So refreshing to see more and more conservative blacks who don’t relate or aspire to the gansta thug victim mentality and anarchist culture of democrats.
Bartiromo asked Klacik what she believes “the Trump administration has done for the minority communities?”

“This is an administration that actually has real results coming into the community,” Klacik, who suggested that Democrats don't care about Black voters in a viral campaign ad and took aim at Joe Biden in her speech during the first night of the RNC, said In her speech at the Republican Convention, Klacik accused the Democratic nominee of believing that Black Americans "can't think for ourselves."

...”A lot of people don’t talk about the fact that the criminal justice reform is something that many Black Americans thought President Obama would tackle. He failed to do that,” Klacik said on Sunday. “He didn’t even attempt to do it.”

In Dec. 2018, President Trump signed a sweeping criminal justice reform bill, marking a major legislative victory on an issue that garnered bipartisan support. The decisive passage marked a win for Trump ...
....”What they need is skills and training when they come out because they can actually apply then for careers, not just jobs and that’s what we need in the area, we need careers,” she said.

She noted that President Trump is “doing much more with ‘Opportunity Zones.’”
.... He’s hit $75 billion thus far, he’s going to do even more in these communities and neighborhoods that Democrats left to decay and some of those neighborhoods are right there in Baltimore city so people see results when it comes to President Trump,” Klacik said.


One thing is that trump openly calls them "the blacks" or my "AA supporters". He showcases his few black appointed officials/Cabinet when he needs their vote. Otherwise, his inner circle and Cabinet is 95% white. He does this instead of appointing a bunch of talented people, some of whom happen to be black. The ONLY Repub POTUS that put this into action was George W Bush. The RNC was a Juneteenth reunion, a majority of black sycophants except for the trump family.

His support of the white supremacist supporters in Charlottesville also bothers me. I wonder if ANY of the black men brought that up to the POTUS? trump may offer some financial incentives for these men, but he also seems to support people who antagonize black men. How do they reconcile that?

The problem is that I got the message, and it’s a disaster.

Half of white America doesn’t like him, so why should I?

You don’t even realize what you just said here.

I’ll give you credit for efficiency though. You only needed to type one sentence to explain why blacks hate Republicans.

Good job.

No. I just know a million times better than you do.

We know how to be outraged and insulted without your help or suggestion. Thanks, but no thanks.
