Trump predicts he can win 95 percent of the African-American vote

[Jacque67 7,328]

Donald Trump promised Friday night that if elected president, he will win 95 percent of the African-American vote in his reelection bid.

Renewing his effort to reach out to black voters at a rally Friday evening, Trump suggested that Democratic politicians that overwhelmingly govern in Americas inner cities have failed African-Americans. Trump told the Dimondale, Michigan, crowd that we can never fix our problems by relying on the same politicians who created our problems in the first place. A new future requires brand-new leadership.

LIB your graphic is pretty weak considering how Trump has/had his clothing lines manufactured overseas and uses the visa programs to bring foreign workers to work at his facilities in the U.S.

How many illegals are working jobs that black folks could be working at ? Millions ... And Killary wants them all to stay and become undocumented democrats. .. Illegals the biggest job killers the inner city has .. Now Killary wants to bring in all these refugees on top of that . . That wall cannot get built fast enough.

[CarlosAndSveta 808]

Why do you say that illegals are only taking jobs away from blacks? Is it because you, like Trump, think that only blacks are suitable for the jobs that illegals do? There is more I could say but I won't waste my time on somebody who dislikes blacks so much.

You are spot on. The truth gets in the way of crooked hillarys pandering.

Because the topic was black voters ... and one of the biggest problem in the inner cities from what we are told on this forum is unemployment ..

I am asking for the vote of every African-American citizen struggling in our country today who wants a different future,” Trump said Tuesday night in a sobering policy address near Milwaukee. “The Democratic party has failed and betrayed the African-American community. Democratic crime policies, education policies, and economic policies have produced only more crime, more broken homes, and more poverty.”

Trump claims that the real unemployment rate is like 40%. That 40% doesn't include only blacks. So why is that only blacks will benefit from taking away the jobs that illegals do.

Republicans were in control of all three branches of the government at the beginning of this century. What magnificent program did the Republican party come up with to solve the problems of black people during that time? Nothing.

1. Here are some basic facts about life in black America under President Barack Obama
3. In spite of Obama’s $275 billion in housing-market bailouts, home ownership has waned.
4. In the first quarter of 2009, 67.3% of Americans owned homes. By 1Q 2014, the Census Bureau figure was 64.8%.
5. Black home ownership has sagged from 46.1% in 2009 to 43.3% in 2014.
6. The poverty rate for blacks is now 25.8%.
7. Fewer than half of young black men are working a full-time job.
8. The black workforce is decreasing, down from 58.6% in June 2007 to 52.8% in August 2012.
9. The median minority family’s income is now almost fifth lower than it was when Obama took office with a net worth of just $18,100.
10. In contrast, white median wealth has increased by 1% to $142,000.
11. In 2009, white households were 7 times richer than black households. Now, white households are 8 times richer.
12. Even Ben Jealous, president of the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, was reluctant to indicate that any progress had been made:

Bernard Anderson, a black economist, acknowledged that he had hopes of racial progress as he watched Obama deliver his second inaugural address, but also made a direct challenge to the president’s recent claims:

“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started. White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing a full point worse.”

“I believe now is the time for the president to use some of his political capital to eliminate racial inequality in American economic life. We cannot let the president off the hook in the second term.

Black people gave him a pass in the first term …. He is not going to run for anything. He doesn’t deserve a pass anymore.”

Nearly Half Of Detroit’s Adults Are Functionally Illiterate, Report Finds

Detroit’s population fell by 25 percent in the last decade. And of those that stuck around, nearly half of them are functionally illiterate, a new report finds.

According to estimates by The National Institute for Literacy, roughly 47 percent of adults in Detroit, Michigan — 200,000 total — are “functionally illiterate,” meaning they have trouble with reading, speaking, writing and computational skills. Even more surprisingly, the Detroit Regional Workforce finds half of that illiterate population has obtained a high school degree

Please, quote your source. What insider information do you have from the inner cities?

You are spot on. The truth gets in the way of crooked hillarys pandering.

Truth and Trump aren't allowed to exist in the same platform.

Okay, so tell me. Was this country a black paradise before Obama? And how was he supposed to fix 400 years plus of broken issues in 8 years? I've been waiting for an answer his entire presidency.

I put $1,000.00 on Trump not winning the vote of 95% of African Americans. Any of the Trump minions up for the bet?

If he's looking for the AA vote, then maybe he should have not made statements like these. But he did and they show who he really is.

[lostinblue 1,989]

Trump: “Look at what the Democratic Party has done to the city of Detroit. Forty percent of Detroit’s residents live in poverty. Half of all Detroit residents do not work. Detroit tops the list of Most Dangerous Cities in terms of violent crime. This is the legacy of the Democrat politicians who have run this city. This is the result of the policy agenda embraced by Hillary Clinton…. The one thing every item in Hillary Clinton’s agenda has in common is that it takes jobs and opportunities from African-American workers. Her support for open borders. Her fierce opposition to school choice. Her plan to massively raise taxes on small businesses. Her opposition to American energy. And her record of giving our jobs away to other countries.”
