Donald Trump and Blacks. - Thomas Sowell

Donald Trump and Blacks.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would be addressing the fact that the black community suffers the most from a breakdown of law and order? But sanity on racial issues is sufficiently rare that it must be welcomed, from whatever source it comes.

When establishment Republicans have addressed the problems of blacks at all, it has too often been in terms of what earmarked benefits can be offered in exchange for their votes. And there was very little that Republicans could offer to compete with the Democrats’ whole universe of welfare state earmarks.

Law and order, however, is not an earmarked benefit for any special group. It is a policy for all that is especially needed by law-abiding blacks, who are the principal victims of those who are not law-abiding.

Education is another area where something that is needed by all segments of the population is especially needed by blacks and other low-income minorities. In other words, here again there is no need for a divisive policy of earmarked benefits, in order to attract new voters into a “big tent.”

No matter what policy Republicans follow, they are not going to win a majority of the black votes this year, nor perhaps even this decade.

Nor is that necessary. Just an erosion of the Democrats’ monopoly of the black votes can benefit both Republicans and the black community, who are currently taken for granted by the Democrats. Republicans may also get more white votes if they are no longer seen by some as racists.

This is not Thomas Sowell.  It's "my African-American."

Right now, Trump is at 14.6% with blacks, that figure is bound to improve.

The #NeverTrump Wall of insanity and illogical hatred is starting to crumble...it's about time.

Am I going to have to post this on every thread?

Trump is getting TWO PERCENT of the black vote.

[Wingnut]

Quinnipiac University released a national poll Thursday showing that while Trump is leading the Republican Party nationally, he is polling poorly with black Americans in the general election.
The poll found:
When asked "Would you say that Donald Trump cares about the needs and problems of people like you or not?" 92% of black people said no.
52% of black people said Trump does not have strong leadership qualities.
73% of black people said Trump is not strong or trustworthy.
79% of black people said they have an unfavorable view of Trump.
When asked "If the election for President were being held today, and the candidates were Hillary Clinton the Democrat and Donald Trump the Republican, for whom would you vote?" 3% percent said they'd vote for Trump.

@TomSea If Trump can make inroads with urban voters he'll knock the Clinton campaign back on their heels. His law and order message resonates in that community amongst the people there who vote.

What is Trump going to do about crime in urban areas?  Be specific.

Have you ever made a post that isn't hateful?  You should try it sometime; it's not even that difficult.

Trump supporters have to navigate "hateful" posts in the forum on virtually every thread.

Try a little empathy, sport.   Or...is THAT too "difficult" for you?

Perhaps you should try practicing what you preach.
