Today, the National Black Republican Association announced via their blog that they will be endorsing Donald Trump during the presidential election. Trump quickly tweeted out a link to the announcement. NBRA Chair Frances Rice detailed their reasoning, writing
As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values. We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous.
We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth.
This endorsement has a particularly strong pull coming from this association given that the black Republican running against Trump, Ben Carson, did not speak to their beliefs as much as the white real estate mogul does. This gives credence to Trump's assertion that he polls well among black communities.
Following is the complete statement: http://blackrepublican.blogspot.com/2016/01/national-black-republican-association.html
Announcing National Black Republican Association Endorses Donald J. Trump By Frances Rice
We, the grassroots activists of the National Black Republican Association, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.
As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values. We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous.
We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth.
Black Americans across America are beginning to wake up and see clearly the reality of what is happening in black neighborhoods. Democrats have run black communities for the past 60 years and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands, witness Detroit, Baltimore and South Chicago.
We believe that Mr. Trump has demonstrated that he can push back against the mainstream media, end political correctness and free black communities from the destructive grip of socialist Democrats.
We urge our fellow black Americans to seize control over their own destiny and leverage their vote the way other groups do. It is way past time black Americans stop having their vote taken for granted by Democrats, hold politicians accountable for the content of their policies and not vote merely based on the label of their party.
Trump tweet at link.
One more nail into the GOPe/dem coffin. A large one at that.
Somebody post the suicide hotline info stat!
20% of the black vote.
Hispanic republicans also support Trump.
GO TRUMP!!!...
....and in case you don’t know......Willie Robertson ( Duck Dynasty) ENDORSED Donald Trump!!
Trump brings people together.
Ping ‘em Please!
The two big reasons I like Trump
#1 He’s NOT a lawyer!
#2 Trump is the only candidate who can take out both the Clinton & Bush dynasties at the same time while forcing the RNC to follow it’s own platform. Let me know when another candidate can do that!
This is probably not a very big group, but it is another thumb in the eye of the republican establishment, including NR.
The polls that have come out today show Trump’s numbers going up and up. Every attack on him makes him stronger, and increases his appeal.
BOOM SHAKALAKA!!
“Willie Robertson ( Duck Dynasty) ENDORSED Donald Trump!!”
I saw that! Great. We need to start putting ‘trumpendorsement’ on the keywords on these articles, so we can find them.
“We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life ...”
Steadfastly pro-life? Are they aware Trump is not steadfastly pro-life?
Great idea!
I’m sure all the Conservative Media will be making sure this little tidbit gets out to the voting public...right? Is National Review reporting on this? Oh, they’re busy right now...
“Steadfastly pro-life? Are they aware Trump is not steadfastly pro-life?”
Ancient history! Trump GREW and changed his position, but you likely knew that.
Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPAC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position. Several months ago, when questioned about his position, Trump responded by saying the public “would be surprised” by his stance and, in an interview with Laura Ingraham from Fox News leading up to the conference, Trump characterized himself as “pro-life” and he repeated that apparent reversal when he told the audience at CPAC, “I am pro-life” and pledged to fight for the reversal of ObamaCare, which contains abortion funding loopholes.
As the 2012 race intensifies, pro-life advocates must call upon Donald Trump to further explain his stand on important pro-life issues like Supreme Court nominations and repeal of the pro-abortion Obama healthcare law.

I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories
Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they’re going to have a nominee that’s solid on those social issues.
A: One thing about me, I’m a very honorable guy. I’m pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine’s wife was pregnant, and he didn’t really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened to him. And you know here’s a baby that wasn’t going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?
A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

Anyone who never changes their mind is a fool,and a liar.
Do you think that “no Oreos” (about Nabisco) was a gentile warning to the Race Baiting Crowd to tread carefully when these endorsements start rolling in?
The suicide hotline has a 2 for 1 special going on for Cruz supporters....good through a week after the caucus.
The real fun is going to be when Sanders wins the popular vote in the Democrat primaries but Hillary wins with the Super Delegates. I'm hoping for mass 'rat defections to Trump and a landslide the likes of which we've never seen.

Standby for Cruz supporter lynch mob.
The real fun is going to be when Trump supporters finally come out of their koolaid enduced coma and realize they’ve been fools. So keep that suicide number handy.
Stay classy.
