GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's bid to woo black votes by persuading them that Democratic policies have ruined their lives was denounced by rival candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a major policy speech she gave in Reno, Nevada this week.
"Democrats and blacks have been together for a long time," Clinton told a crowd that easily surpassed double digits. "It's kind of like we have a 'common law marriage.' It's outrageous for an outsider like Trump to try to alienate our mutual affections. Sure there have been some rough patches. Every marriage has rough patches. Bill and I have had some rough patches, but we've always stuck together. Each of us has been there to aid and abet the other's dreams and aspirations. Blacks and Democrats need to stick together for the same reason."
"Trump promises to put black people to work," Hillary pointed out. "But whites putting black people to work sounds like slavery to me. The Democratic Party has freed black people from the burdens of work. Democrats have enacted laws to ensure that if your man walks out on you the government will put a roof over your head and food on the table. Thanks to legislation championed by the Democratic Party no one has to do hard labor to survive."
"Trump promises to make the streets safe by locking up criminals," Hillary observed. "But this is a thinly veiled declaration of war against the black man. As we have seen 'law and order' leads to a racially imbalanced prison population. Democrats are against laws and enforcement that fall disproportionately on racial minorities. The prison population should mirror the free population. I will work toward achieving this goal."
"I caution blacks not to buy into Trump's idea that acting white is the way to a better life," Hillary warned. "From our nation's earliest days it has been the Democratic Party that has taken care of blacks. Republicans have been the ones ready to cast them out into the world to fend for themselves. Voters should remember this on election day."
In related news, Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the California Ku Klux Klan chapter, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. "History has shown that Democrats have been the Party with the guts to keep the blacks in their place, they even fought a war to preserve white rights," Quigg reminded. "LBJ's Great Society plan to concentrate the blacks in public housing compounds and fatten them up on food stamps keeps them from taking the jobs that belong to whites."
