It’s clear that Donald Trump’s “black outreach” isn’t actual outreach to black communities. A Trump who wanted to reach black voters would speak to black churches, black colleges, and organizations like the NAACP or the Urban League. The actual Trump, instead, has made his pitch to lily-white audiences in towns and neighborhoods with few black residents. And for good reason. Trump is never going to win more than a token percentage of black voters. If he wants the White House, he’ll need to persuade as many white voters as possible, and a visible commitment to diversity is one way to win over a certain class of right-leaning, suburban whites.

I think republicans should study how Mike Duggan became the first white mayor of Detroit in decades. BTW, he ran a write in primary campaign.
Black churches and barbarsops.

I heard two African Americans say Trump was right not to speak to the NAACP;
The Urban League is left center but maybe a little better of an organization. And Trump has spoken in an African American Church.
But by all means, the author of this inflammatory piece should vote Democratic, that's been a big help to the African American community, Oh, and how things have gotten so much better under Obama, they have gone the opposite way.
This fellow must be living in a fantasy.
