Donald Trump's recent overtures to African-Americans has been met with skepticism by many voters.
(snip)
Even though many voters are suspect of his comments, some African-Americans welcome his words and are supporting his presidential candidacy.
"It is time to wake up, African Americans -- wake up," Trump supporter Carl Nichols, who is African-American, told ABC News at the rally in Fredericksburg Saturday. "Life in Detroit, where I am from, looks like a warzone, because of the Democrats who have been there for 50 years. It's a big mess. Let's give the man a chance. You have tried out Obama, but it didn't work. I told you all that, it wasn't going to work. You had all the rest of these crazy folks, and it's time. It’s time to see what is going to happen."
Nichols continued, "I believe that if we give Mr. Trump a chance, I believe that things in Michigan are going to change. It is time for the African-Americans to wake up, read for yourselves, stop listening to CNN, and some of the other crazy news channels. Do research yourself. And stop listening to your buddies who are trying to keep you in bondage. I thank God for Mr. Trump, and we are going to win this thing."
Another African-American supporter at the rally, who told ABC News her first name is Jacqueline, said of Trump's claim that he can fix issues plaguing the black community, "I believe he can do a better job than Hillary can."
Jacqueline added that African-Americans have been essentially conditioned to vote for Democrats. "It's been so ingrained in us what we have been doing these past few years, and just like he said last night, it hasn't worked...."

Not sure I would call the headline unbiased.
“Donald Trump’s African-American Supporters Are Unapologetic”
“Uppity”?
No kidding!
What a nasty headline. Journalists are real punks these days. Not a shred of professionalism.
MSM: "Hmmm. How do we handle this? The speaker is African American and female... Ah yes!"
Headline: "MORE EVIDENCE OF RAMPANT SEXISM AMONG TRUMP SUPPORTERS!"
Trump wants to keep the mexicans out. That is why blacks may support him in surprising numbers.
They have nothing to apologize for.
It’s way too late to change voting procedures. This will be an autopsy situation. Hillary will be declared the winner in November, but Trump will win in December when it is proven that votes were flipped to Hillary.
Where did you read that?
Scratch that, should read illegal immigrants.
>>rticle from the MSM - somebody pinch me ...<<
It’s an online article by ABC tv. When it shows up on the nightly newscast, then somebody can pinch you...and me.
If blacks support him in “surprising numbers” it will be because he convinces them of two things:
1. That he will support expansion of charter schools, and
2. That he will quit belittling the police and restore order in the inner-cities.
It will have nothing to do with keeping Mexicans out, especially now that Trump looks like he’s not really going to deport every illegal.
And just who should they apologize too? Liberals? See how they media brainwashes.
IF blacks ever did have the scales fall from their eyes and realize how the Democrats have RUINED their cities, their families, their education, their jobs, there would be BLOOD in the streets!! But alas, they get free everything, it’s all sub-standard, but what the heck, they don’t HAVE to work for it....just VOTE.
“Unapologetic”?
What do we have to apologize for? For figuring out that you Democrats still have our people enslaved on your plantation? Are you angry that many of us have escaped?
Bah!!
“...And stop listening to your buddies who are trying to keep you in bondage. ...”
BOOM!!!
Calls out sharpton et al
Calls out thug culture
Calls out victimology
