As long as he is not pandering. As long as he is not advocating for special laws, privileges and rights. As long as he is not bashing whites. As long as he is offering help to those that help themselves. As long as the ultimate goal is to abolish all this one way racial crap.

Obama ignored blacks for too long!

High time. There is absolutely no reason any Republican nominee couldn't have given this speech any time in the last fifty years.

Maybe. That was what the polling research showed about Dole/Kemp and Bush/Cheney.

McCain and Romney didn’t even try to get the black vote.

I think Trump stands a better chance with blacks than any Republican since Eisenhower. It’s a matter of his outsider status, direct style, and his personal success. But I could be wrong.

“The Obama/Clinton/regime has done more harm to race relations and to black economic life in America... than any administation in American history”

Yep! And it’ll only get worse if Hillary wins.

The whole frigging leftist PC inspired “African-American” label is an example of racism. I first heard it in the early 1990s and found it to be nothing but a means to pitting a group of people against another. It’s sickening!

These social engineers make sure both “African-Americans” and “Latino-Americans” remain a subclass ONLY for political power exploitation purposes. I’m sure you’ll start hearing more about a “Muslim-American” class. They do NOT want these groups mixing in with American culture! They can’t control them if that happens. They start to see the crap the left spews as nonsense and they’ll *never* vote for them again.

I promise you, should blacks in America *ever* split their vote instead of regularly voting Democrat, you’ll see the most despicable racist side of the Democratic party that’ll make white supremacists blush. They’ve proven that when a particular voting block won’t support them, they discard those people like trash.

Obama got 93% of the black vote in 2012 and won by 5 million votes. The Latino and Asian vote is now statistically significant at 13%, equal to 13% for the black vote. Obama got 73% of the Asian vote and 71% of the Latino vote.
Trump will cut into that.

“They’ve proven that when a particular voting block won’t support them, they discard those people like trash.”

Absolutely,and they are already heading in that direction.

The new favorite class will be Hispanics-——defined by the choice of a Veep candidate that speaks fluent Spanish.

The blacks will soon be kicked aside.

I thought it was his best speech to-date.

I agree.

Notice how he isn't 'moving to the center' like all previous Republican candidates?

Instead he's taken a hard right turn, a sign that he's truly a man of God.

“Absolutely,and they are already heading in that direction.”

The blue collar “class” of the USA helped give the Dems the power they have today. Look at what they call them now ... “non-college educated whites”.

My dad was a union dem his entire life ... a bitter clinger if I might add ... I wish he were around to see that snarky comment as he used to get on my case for being more right leaning due to “college” and a “white collar” job :-). The Dems have no use for butchers or steelworkers these days ... they’re pretty much garbage to them anymore.

I get *SO* pissed talking about that party. I have to contain a lot of rage when talking about people that use people the way Democrats use them :-) (<-— That’s an angry smiley face :-) ).

I just recalled that the eugenics movement in the early 20th century gave the Dems a lot of power too ... I don’t care what race you are ... eugenicists were into the eradication of PEOPLE that they felt weren’t FIT for society via birth control (or other means if you had the ability to suppress news of mass murders)!!! WHO DETERMINES FIT?!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT BELIEVED THAT FRIGGING NONSENSE!!!! ARRGGHHH!!! :-)

I need a beer ...

Trump isn’t pandering. All he is saying is that our inner cities need fixed ... they’re broken due to crime.

I noticed that Limbaugh, never wanting to miss a chance of being critical of Trump, stated that Trump’s new campaign hiring gave the MSM an excuse to skip talking about the speech.

The only thing about that is the MSM would have spun it to Trump’s disadvantage or lied. The MSM are liars. The MSM cannot be depended on to haul any water for Trump.

Trump has to go around the MSM, like Reagan use to. It will be a bit easier with today’s technology.

Yeah, and Limbaugh is 110% absolutely positively
certainly totally dead on for sure correct about it
being an error to have announced any staffing
change just a few hours after the speech.

It was just helping the News Cartel to bury what Trump said
in crap that the general public cares nothing about.

What makes you think that the news media would have given Trump a fair shake. I heard Juan Williams and Van Jones and others talk about it. They put it down hard. So maybe it is just as well.

I don’t think Trump is counting on the MSM to get his message across.

They WON’T give him fair treatment but with the stupid timing of the staff
announcement it provided the whores with a convenient excuse
to completely ignore the speech.

His campaign “pros” should not be helping the enemy.

I agree! I saw Kelly-Anne Conway on CBS This Morning and she did a great job of staying on message and not getting trapped by gotcha questions - I see a more substantive campaign - with DJT being himself - in our future - and I am looking forward to it - albeit I do get nervous.....
