Here are the things you got wrong. Trump did not pander to racists. That's utter nonsense! As for the GOP not being inclusive of blacks that is also utter nonsense. It's most blacks themselves that don't want to be included in the GOP and it is for the reasons that I have mentioned.

The GOP may not campaign much in black areas but it's for a good reason. Blacks don't want them there! Again, it is blacks that are rejecting them not the other way around and they can't compete with the socialism of the Democrats because it's not a part of the GOP policy.

I think that well off blacks vote Democrat because it's racially based. Just like Hispanics it's a tribal mentality for their group.

No surprise, after watching BLM riots and the destruction of small businesses they caused all over the country it's pretty obvious Democrats have little regard for any small businesses. Half of my family is Hispanic, at least a grand parent or aunt uncle or cousin. I hate saying that most of my relatives who identify as Hispanic vote Democrat even though most are more Conservative than me. Almost none are BLM supporters. After the last year and a half and seeing how incompetent Biden is, I'm seeing a change.

The reality is most Latinos and a large percentage of Suburban and Rural Whites are the ones work jobs that matter to the country and are economically feeling Beijing Biden's Inflation.

The urban whites with their consultant, strategist and elite government subsidized positions don't care about inflation and love the Democrats trillions out of thin air from the Biden regime and the zero interest rate policies of the Biden regime also.

The polls show African-American still strongly support the Democrats.

Only Latinos like republicans are Venezuelans, Cubans and some Puerto Ricans.

Say what you will about the Democrats. Yes, there are those who probably should have stayed away.

However, you pointed something out. Democrats are campaigning in predominantly Black areas, rural,suburban, and urban. Most Republicans are not campaigning in predominantly Black areas. This is not a good look. Even some Black conservatives are turned off by this.

Safety nets might be a factor for the working poor. However, for Black middle class and Black upper class people, it's not a factor. Black people who aren't poor don't vote Democrat for "free stuff".

I voted Bush in 2004. I was 18 and it was my first election. 9 months later I found myself regretting my vote. I felt like the GOP had no empathy. The Katrina debacle did not help. I went into 2004 thinking "maybe I can give the Republican Party a chance". I did just that. After the Katrina debacle, I felt let down. At the time, I started to wonder if race had something to do with it. I eventually got over that. However, seeing alot of Black people stranded and in bad shape, this started to make me ask questions.

I thought about something though. There is a feeling that the GOP doesn't have much empathy when it comes to issues that many Black people are dealing with.

I wonder how many times I have to repeat that politicians should campaign in areas that have a mix of Americans instead of pandering to certain groups? I wonder how many times I have to repeat that blacks don't want Republican politicians campaigning their areas and it won't change their minds anyway unless they become a socialistic party like the Democrats are. Ain't gonna happen so why waste their time? I also repeat, blacks are rejecting them not the other way around.

The GOP is not opposed to safety nets for the truly needy. Why just mention blacks? Agenda much? There are plenty of poor American people of all races in this country. I also repeat that well off or middle class blacks are tribal as most minorities are. It's all about a shared race or ethnicity to them. Nothing else matters!

Blacks aren't dealing with any special issues anymore. They have just as much opportunity as whites do now. Why should our politicians have any special empathy for them? If you can't bring yourself out of the darkness you will never see the light. The blame game has got to end and the victim card needs to be trashed.

Americans of all colors need to stop focusing on their race. It's getting ridiculous and is just divisive.

So him retweeting a video of a white boomer yelling "White power!" isn't pandering? Nor is him holding a bible during the BLM march in DC? Nor is "Stand back stand by" or When the looting starts the shooting starts"?

They don't "want them there" because they aren't offering any tangible benefits to them. If the GOP adopted a "socialist" platform and stayed right socially w/o the racism and ultra religious stuff(Blacks and Hispanics are socially conservative) they'd rule the country for MANY years.

Nope they do not! None of that makes Trump a racist.

The GOP does not want socialism for our country and rightly so and they are no more racist than the Democrats are. Tangible benefits? What does that even mean? Is that the new code word for socialism?

Most GOPers aren't not radically religious either. You're just making the usual excuses why most minorities don't vote for them but the Democrats instead. The bottom line is that most minorities want socialism and believe the lies of the Democrats that the GOP is racist. Hispanics want amnesty for their illegal amigos and guess what party is pushing that nonsense to?

Notice how he says "only" in order to diminish their importance. He's a bigot.
