CNN panel explodes over the effect of Trump’s budget on black communities
The Blaze ^ | March 17, 2017 | Carlos Garcia

A panel of black political commentators on CNN imploded Thursday into a screaming match as they discussed the effect of President Donald Trump’s proposed budget cuts could have on the black community.

As the panel discussed the cuts, Paris Dennard, a Trump supporter, pointed out that HBCUs, the acronym for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, were not included in the list of proposed cuts. But host Don Lemon found the HBCU argument to be less important than other social programs.

“So a lot of people say HBCUs are important,” Lemon declared, “but there are a lot of people watching here tonight going, ‘HBCUs? I gotta eat, I gotta live somewhere. Great, yes, I would love to send my kid to a college, any college,’ and hopefully, maybe they want to send them to an HBCU, but why are you rambling on about HBCUs when we’re talking about urban development, about other education, about health and human services? There are more important issues than HBCUs.”(continued)

Trump got more black support than Romney; with each passing day more realize the Democrats and black CNN panelists are keeping them down...

Work makes a person sense self esteem. They need self esteem, sometimes a person needs some gentle persuasion to go get a job.

Are these actual cuts, or decreases in spending but will still be more than the previous years?

If a Democrat asks for $100 bucks but you give him $80, then that's an evil "cut."

Folks...truth be known, Don Lemon and his Black Racist ilk, in cahoots with POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama and the CBC/NAACP,...literally screwed African-Americans...royally for eight years!!! POTUS, Donald J. Trump will do more for American Blacks in one day then Obama and his low life slavemasters did in eight years. Black America...you are waking up...get rid of these deadbeat users and abusers of your race...and become all you can be on your own!!! You can do it and Trump will assist you all!!! No free handouts...just Freedom, Equality, Education, fair opportunities & good jobs!!!

If you’re able-bodied and relying on Uncle Sugar to support you because you are on active duty in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Air Force, you are doing it right. ;-)

Ask them how 30 million illegals taking jobs has affected the black community.

The feigned outrage has proven to be an effective tool to suppress dissent and discussion; it worked for years, but there’s a new sheriff in town now. For years we’ve described how only a free internet could throw off their yoke - and it did! Trump beat them and their millions spent with a Twitter account.
