    I didn't even get to the story.

    The headline just by itself of flat out hilarious......

    http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-african-american-vote-227218

    The sad thing is that this theme seems to be a new Trump theme.

    It's basically a tarted up version of the "plantation mentality" meme that has been floating around racist circles for some time.

    In this meme, white conservative politicians appoint themselves as spokesmen for the African American community and lecture them about what's good for them.

    This is vintage Trump. Tell everyone how everything is terrible, and offer no solution at all.

    Given the fact that Trump is delivering remarks like this in front of nearly all white audiences in white suburban locations, it's not hard to figure out who the real target of the messange is.

    Of course, the white audience hears the inherit dog whistle, and warms to it, because it has the appearance of being an inclusive messenge, which, of course, it is not.

    Were it so, the Trump campaign would have switched the venue of its Milwaukee appearance to a location in the African American community there.

    Of course, they could do so in the next 60 days, going to Baltimore, Ferguson, Sanford, or back to Milwaukee.

    Don't count on it, though. That audience is not one that Trump is really interested in, dispite the empty rhetoric to the contrary.

    Seems to describe Democrat SOP quite well.

    Trump makes many, many claims that are inaccurate, impossible, or simply untrue...this one is only different because it's so blatantly cray.

    What Trump actually said was that IF he won this election, he would get 95% of the black vote in his re-election.

    Yes, the "95% of the African American vote" prediction is for the end of his first term, 4 years down the road. His problem is he needs a much bigger chunk of this vote than he is currently projected to even get to get a chance at the first 4 years. It's hilarious really, considering he won't even show up when invited by the NAACP, a snub very few would dream of committing, he must have been afraid of offending his 'base'.

    The man is delusional....his polling numbers for the African American vote are so bad, even compared to his Republican predecessors - hell he's polling about 0% for the African American vote in Ohio & Penn. I think his comments will be seen for what they are, delusional fantasy of the highest order, LOL.

    Inconsequential, but dumb comment. Should have just said he'll get a lot more AA support then people think and left it at that. Stupid bluster that in the end, still doesn't mean (*)(*)(*)(*). And its nothing compared to, "I didn't email any classified info..." Oh, WHOOOPS!!!!

    They keep voting for liberals and nothing has changed, they're still telling us they're oppressed, jobless and broke. The 5% who vote conservative are the smart ones.

    I'd treat them like equals. You want to hand them things because you don't think they can make it on their own without your help. There's a word for that.

    BS, you post more racist crap than anyone on the forum. If it wasn't illegal you'd be hanging them.

    Anyone can do this: go to 'advanced search' and search for the keyword 'black' and username 'Steve N'. You'll get 4 pages of racist OPs.

    Proves nothing. This post of yours would also show up in a similar search.

    Oh, since you know all about me, maybe you forgot these facts about me:

    I have a gay cousin and sister
    My cousin married a black man, great guy
    I had a black roommate for almost two years
    I was married to a 100% Puerto Rican girl for 12 years
    In California I hired dozens of blacks and Mexicans
    In El Paso I managed a team that was 90% Mexican and 10% white
    Here in New Mexica I manage a team that's 85% Mexican and 15% white
    I would vote for Herman Cain or Allan West
    If I happened to be single I'd love to date Halle Berry

    But you see, if I point out that whites are sometimes racist you'd agree with me. If I point out that blacks are sometimes racist you'd call me a racist.

    Not liking what I say doesn't make me racist, it makes you intolerant.
