I’m having an awful lot of fun at your expense.

Feeling kind of guilty...

So am I though I confess to not feeling any guilt at all. So don't be laying a guilt trip on yourself on my account.

he already has some , but why black, why not just more Americans and stop this nonsense of putting people against people and into groups.

I think the point is, in this 2016 contest, that many blacks voted for Obama thinking he would do things to improve their situation. Being sold out to the Democrats, it is hard for blacks to see that a horrible economy and huge unemployment and govenment lying about it are not intended to be racist -- they are intended to hurt every smallholder in the country. But it feels like more racism to them; because just when the civil rights legislation started making things better in the 80s, the elites decided to go global on all of our asses and wreck the middle class, wiping out their chances to advance. The really good manufacturing jobs that many working men including blacks used to aspire to -- factory jobs paying up to $40 an hour -- those jobs just disappeared.

On top of it, untrammeled immigration in those same years until now -- blacks are being crowded out of all the lower-end and entry jobs, as well as jobs that hispanic immigrants specialize in, like agriculture helper, lawn maintenance and construction helper. They are getting hit from above and from below; and the elites just keep blaming it on racism, when in fact they are just using blacks' justifiable hurt feelings to disguise what is really going on -- Democrats and marxists are robbing us blind. They don't care what color the people are as long as they can line their pockets.

So if blacks wake up to the aspects of Trump's platform that can really help them -- improve the economy and provide more jobs by fixing the economy and trade deals, not by wasting billions on failed "green" energy and supporting illegals. -- they can hope to have their lives revitalized. And it's not a special, patronizing program for them -- it's just a better economy that has more abundance for everyone; and keeping more of what Americans earn for Americans instead of trying to support half the Third World.

When I go over to watch Trumps campaign rallies, I read the comments underneath.

You find Black and Hispanics there by the boatload, saying the exact things we are.

They love him.

I don’t expect them all to, but lets recall those Black pastors. None of them bad-mouthed the guy after the event.

One of the pastors described the event as Trump listening to their concerns and telling them he would do everything in his power to bring jobs back to their communities.

That’s all they wanted. The guy shot straight with them.

That’s what folks are seeing. They are seeing a guy who is selling the same thing to everyone. Take it or leave it.

Many are taking it.

“Once a man has a job, a lot of good things start coming his way: a wife, home, children, and self respect.”

Let’s not forget disposable income. That can translate into buying an SUV, a bass boat, remodeling the kitchen and surprising the wife with a diamond pendant on the wedding anniversary.

African-Americans didn't have the vote in the Klan-dominated Democrat states back then. In the big Northern cities, they gravitated to FDR and the urban Democratic political machines.

It's true that in the 1930s Blacks were as often to identify with the Republicans as the Democrats and that in the 1950s Eisenhower took a big share of the Black vote, but between 1932 and 1936 the African-American vote flipped from over 70% Republican to over 70% Democrat.

About Trump: if he gets 12% of the Black vote, he'll be doing about as well as Republicans usually do, twice as good as Romney, three times as good as McCain, but I don't see him doing much better than that.

Remember what Obama said to Joe the Plumber? “We’re going to spread the wealth around.” .

And he kept that promise. The Federal Reserve created lots of extra credit dollars for federal and private borrowing and it was spread around among the uniparty globalist elites. Where did the $2B pay to play Clinton foundation money come from - the hard earned wages of workers or global central bank fairy dust?

Wake up and smell the coffee! Trump won the Hispanic voters in Nevada, which has a lot of Hispanics.

“I didn’t write the article...you should correct the authors of such articles...”

I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you were quoting the author. It might help to use quotation marks or italics in future.

That aside, I agree with all you said in your post.

On the street where my brother lives in suburban Orlando, the only campaign sign so far is for Trump — and it is at the home of a Black family.
