How about can Black America fix itself?
I say they can’t until they rid themselves of the race hustlers, the self-loathing victim-mentality and dysfunctionality that permeates their communities.
They must first rid themselves of the Justus Brothers, support for dims, etc.
Obama fixed Black America.
Only Nixon could go to China.
Only Trump can go to Harlem (forget Compton, it’s too far gone).
Only blacks can fix themselves.
The very last group of people that will help them is the party of slavers, the party of KKK, the party of Jim Crow, the party of segregation. But, hey, if you want to keep trying that approach which has only made things worse for blacks for at least 80 years, go for it. But stop whining about the results.
If blacks do not like their situation, they can look around and assess who is doing well and emulate what works. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Wallow in self pity and blame or pick yourself up and make something positive of yourself.
Nothing and no one, and certainly not enough money will fix a problem that requires a HUGE COLLECTIVE CHANGE in attitude and character.
Probably not. The pathologies in their communities have taken decades to take root.
The real problem is fatherlessness. When their is no strong man in the home, Women become leaders of the family and like it or not, that’s a bad idea.
Sons become wild, daughters have loose morals and continue the cycle.
There are things Trump and the conservatives can do. That conversation they talk about? It needs to happen and be a real, hard talk.
Welfare needs real reform and needs to be about 20% of what it is now. People need to work. They are too tired to screw around and making money as part of the economy.
The church can help but church leaders must quit accepting sin in their churches.
Trump needs to make his presentation to Black America non-political and as a anti-sales promotion for a hypothetical bad commercial product.
It would go something like this: Do you continue to purchase a bad commercial product (perhaps pick a product category with a hypothetical brand that appeals to blacks and list features that would be bad for blacks) year after year or are you smart enough to to switch to a better brand. Why would you ever continue buying this bad product? At the end of the commercial, suggest that they are doing the same by voting Democrat. Then finish with an an admonition to think about it.
Then get these commercials on shows or streams that would target blacks.
WAH WAH WAH....... Poor old Black America!
If Blacks followed the Law, quit becoming Drug ADDICTS, picking fights with the Cops and went to School to actually learn how to read and write. They just might build something instead of destroying it!
I could Care less about Blacks !!! Blacks ruin everything they get their hands on!
I don’t know one city run by Blacks that people are trying to move into.
If Blacks don’t like America.....Please leave and don’t ever come back.
White folks like myself don’t owe Blacks anything.....zero , zilch, nadda! Blacks have yet to even control themselves and I will hope our President can see though all the Cry-Baby BLACK Bitching .
Frankly, ...... I don’t give a damn!
Only Blacks can fix the Black community’s pathologies.
The only thing Trump can do is remove the economic barriers that have kept the poor stuck in the welfare trap, and he’s already made great strides.
For instance, raising the head of household’s standard deduction and child tax credit on the 1040.
Before Trump’s tax reforms, as soon as a parent’s earnings went above the official poverty line, there was a sort of ‘donut hole’ where around 30 cents out of every dollar was taken back in taxes, up until about $30K.
This encouraged people to work less to maintain eligibility for various government benefits, which were more lucrative and nontaxable.
Only Black America can fix Black America but I fear we dont have the time for that. I think terrible times are coming.
No. You can't ever discuss the real problem with black America. Anyone who does, including Trump, is a virulent racist.
How’s Africa doing?
Forget about it! Can you increase their average IQ by 15 points?
Separation is the answer.
It's time for them to admit to themselves how much of their problems are their own fault.
I shut up a co-worker complaining about all his problems when I asked him how much of it was his own fault. That was over 25 years ago.
Trump can’t fix Black America till black America fixes itself.
No, black America needs to fix black America.
The change wont take if its white people doing it again.
Nope. Lost cause. That ship has sailed, train has left the station, fat lady has sung. The legacy of Lyndon is being carried on by all the ‘rats who have succeeded him. Too many generations are not even aware of another lifestyle (i.e. civilized).
The last thing the Democrat party wants is for Trump (or any Republican) to fix anything. They want us out of the loop on everything.
Should President Trump fix Black America or should Black Americans fix Black America?
These are the legislative steps taken by the Federal Government at the bequest of the people.

The nation can legislate civil rights but legislation cannot change the perception of the black communities that exist in the hearts and minds of the people. Only black communities can repair their reputation.
My advice to the black communities and the police; it is time tosnitch.
