Despite Allegedly Using N-Word, Trump Sees Increase In Black Supporters
The Nigeria Herald ^ | August 18, 2018 | Femi Famutimi

Maybe the Black community doesn’t hate Trump as initially assumed as the American President saw a surge in his support from Black Americans.

This comes even after reports emerged that Trump used the N-word in a recording while on the TV Show ‘The Apprentice.’

At the moment, the approval rating from the Black community sits at 36% which represents double of what it was last year and it’s more than triple what it was in 2016 when it sat at a depressing 8%.

What are the reasons for this? Well, it is speculated that it is largely due to Black unemployment reaching new low levels as it was 5.9% in May.

“More Americans, including black Americans, are finding job opportunities – and by that I mean, it’s not just ‘you must take the one job you find.’ You are seeing that there are multiple opportunities…”Horace Cooper of the National Center for Public Policy Research said.

Meanwhile, Kanye West had to come out to defend his views on Trump after he was grilled on a late night show with Jimmy Kimmel.

He rejected the notion that Black people are automatically Democrats even though historically Black people have usually voted for a Democrat.

West said: “As a musician, African-American guy out in Hollywood…everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me. And then told me every time I said I liked Trump that I couldn’t say it out loud or my career would be over, I’d get kicked out of the black community, because blacks, we’re supposed to have a monolithic thought – we can only be Democrats…”

Not true. Blacks voted Republican from their emancipation until LBJ opened up the welfare spigot. You can "allege" that I took part in the Pearl Harbor raid as a torpedo bomber pilot, but the fact that I'm not Japanese and wasn't born yet might make the whole exercise silly. Until we have an actual tape and Trump's voice is authenticated by reliable scientists, we ought to quit talking about this.

Blacks in Richmond knelt before Abraham Lincoln and called him “Massah Lincoln”. He had killed and vanquished their Democrat masters to free them.

The only people that care about “the N-word” are white people.

I frankly do not care if he or anyone else says it.

I don’t think anyone actually believes Trump used the N word. And, as long as the economy is good, he probably could use it until the cows come home. Only the perpetually offended will take offense. When you can suddenly see the reemergence of a path out of servitude you can put up with a lot of jive talk.

An Iranian engineer told me, “I came here in 1969 with barely any English. The economy was so good I had two job offers by the end of my first week. (Under Obama) I have never seen it this bad. If I came here now I’d never find work. Regulation has driven the US into the ground.”

I saw a figure the other day, if 18% of the black vote goes to the Repubs, it’s curtains for the Dems.

May as well have said “Despite Being Hitler, Trump Sees Increase in Support”

The whole crapload is based on a false premise.

Right, they can’t resist tagging him no matter what. This is like saying “Despite allegedly being a KKK member”...Well wait a minute here, there’s not one single solitary shred of evidence of that except from what a known liar has said, a woman who claimed she heard Trump say the “N” word, had a tape of him saying the N word, then later on claimed she personally did not hear him say it and that she personally does not have a tape of him saying it, but hey, let’s just right off the top tag him as saying the N word.

This is what really ticks me off about the left. They make crap up, it’s promoted relentlessly as being truth to the point where we even have investigations costing tax payers ten of millions of dollars, but meanwhile nobody says crap about the left and their hijinks in which there IS evidence! Mountains of evidence!!

What a headline. So let’s play that game. I heard that there is a tape of Femi Famutimi saying the “N-word” in college and I’m still looking for it. Now you can all say “Despite allegations of using the “N-Word” Femi Famutimi still employed by newspaper”.

Trump is probably one of the few white guys who could use the n word and see black support rise.

After all blacks use the word all the time. Maybe they’ve figured out what patronizing is all about.

PDJT is about to run away with the Black vote.

The Dems are fighting a losing battle to retain them, simply because the unemployment rate for black folk remains below 3%.

Soon PDJT will free American black folk from their social morass. This time the Dems have enslaved blacks with convincing them they are all victims.Last time the Dems actually enslaved them and Lincoln freed them.

The desperation of a chicken running around with its head cut off. All these Progressive a-holes have left is this flimsy rumor of Trump having once uttered a bad word, and they are going to find every reason to keep repeating that rumor for the next two months.

Did you hear that most Trump supporters would still support him if he had said that unmentionable word? It’s a fact, CNN reported it.

In today’s climate, when it’s from the left, the accusation *is* the evidence.

Once the accusation is made, punishment is necessary. Nothing matters but the accusation.

And there are still people stupid enough to believe there’s any hope for a peaceful resolution with those purposely tearing our country apart.
