Discussion focused on Trump's impact on the African American community and a volunteer training session, reported the AP on Friday morning. More than 60 people showed up, --snip-- Supporters touted that Trump has improved the economy and lowered unemployment rates, specifically for African Americans.

Looks like a few Philly voting districts won’t have perfect 100% votes for the Democrat nominee. It’ll be 99.8%.

Some good points there.

One of the most disgusting slanders against our president is that he’s a racist.

Obama got 588,000 votes in Philly in 2012.
Clinton got 584,000 votes in 2016.
A very small drop off.

Trump carried the state by only 44,000 votes

I agree with your data but just to clarify here is where I got my info: These stats to refer to precinct that are 75% or more black.

Among the city’s wards that are more than 75 percent African American, Trump got about 1,300 — or 31 percent — more votes than Romney. Clinton saw a mild decline, earning 7 percent — about 16,000 — fewer votes than President Obama did in 2012.
