Donald Trump has landed himself in hot water again, this time over a statement he made Michigan.
Addressing the Black community, he said: “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed – what the hell do you have to lose?”
Trump left the teleprompter to make this unscripted statement and every political commentator, news reporter, and disgruntled tweeter had something to say about it.
Rather than wasting your time with another article focusing on Trump’s offensive speech, his ignorance, or any other way his campaign has managed to embarrass not only the majority of the Republican Party but the entire United States; I’m going to take some time to point out why we should take the time to actually listen to his statement and evaluate it realistically in spite of whatever our personal feelings toward the man may be.

I never thought the day would come when I defended Donald Trump…but when he’s attempting to amplify the voices of the Black community and bring our issues to the forefront, I do not appreciate others brushing off his claims as over-exaggerated.
The only ignorance I see here is coming from his critics who dismiss his statement. Just because some of the statistics regarding African Americans and our youth are so disgustingly unbelievable doesn’t meant they aren’t true.

And go on black radio and visit the inner cities in the battleground states.
He does that, he will win big.
What I don’t see mentioned in this woman’s article is the responsibility of the black community for fostering a culture in which excelling academically is ridiculed as “acting white”. And this is only one example of the cultural shackles black people have chosen to wear.
Read the article, Francis.
True.
Instead of the "soft bigotry of low expectations".
“If it were not for government jobs there really wouldn’t be a black middle class at all.”
You’ve noticed that too, huh?
Whenever the Dumbocrats start talking about their intention to “create jobs” (which isn’t the government’s job anyway) what they really mean is, they’re gonna create more gubbermint employees to manage the exponential rise in the number of poor people they’re creating at the same time.
A degree in social work is highly sought after by blacks. The degree leads to a decent paying state job with excellent benefits, and best of all, a generous pension.
Raise taxes! Hire more tax collectors!
More people on food stamps, housing, disability —yay! — requires more caseworkers, clerks, administrators!
Families falling apart? More domestic violence workers, more child protective services!
Addicts need state counselors, homeless shelters and halfway houses need staff!
Societal collapse creates jobs! Who knew?
TRUMP must TRiUMPh
They don’t need to act white, they only need to act redneck. Rednecks come in many colors.
Trump has an exaggerating style, but it wouldn’t take much adjustment to say it with utter accuracy and still show that it is very grim. “No good” — we can quibble on that as a matter of expression. “Not even close to as good as they could be, and far worse than whites” — bulls eye.
And btw, a significant number of the social worker jobs are held by black women.
This parallels the breakdown of the family, and the pushing of the feminist agenda.
The utter disenfranchisement of black men has transformed the black community into a matriarchy.
A return of manufacturing, steel, construction, oil —men’s jobs—will go a long way toward building up the black middle class, and returning fathers as heads of households.
The insiders in both Party’s are crooks. They reward their friends,fill their pockets and screw the rest of America. If the white and minority population could come together we could stop this but I do not see that happening. The Jacksons and Sharptons along with the media will keep the poor black and whites down on the farms!
The rich and Wall Street support both Political Party’s so they can keep control of DC.
The only thing that can save is is another Revolution I am afraid.

The state of affairs regarding the facts that Trump spoke of represent a very clear and very present danger to the United States. The longer this goes on, the worse the violence, crime, social degradation will become. Demoncrats are leading this nation to the precipice of societal instability and eventual chaos and anarchy. This cannot be allowed to continue to fester. The demoncrats must be defeated this November and eventually crushed and eliminated as a political entity, for the sake of our Republic.

The ignorance comes from our Union operated schools and the so called Mainstream Media. As long as the Democrats and Republicans can keep the average to poor person ignorant as to the real facts they control us.
Since I have retired I have studied and tried to keep abreast as to what is happening in America and the average to poor American is kept in the dark.
Maybe we should all embrace your “High Tech Redneck” nature.
Grab a few verses and proclaim ourselves without recourse or judgement.
Yes!
We’re ultimately staring at a culture problem here, and underlying that, a sin problem that is bad enough in that area to hurt visibly.
We have a people here with very little vision, and “without a vision, the people perish.” Most would be hard-put even to describe what black success would look like. They don’t want to “act white” — hating the white culture that had rationalized enslaving their ancestors — well, fine. Well how should they act? Maybe they could act redneck. Even rednecks have some respect for learning — especially in technical areas. Or they could act Ethiopian — they get along mighty well for their grinding poverty because they respect learning too. Or they could act the recently immigrated African — you ought to see those folks hustle. Basically they need to be the best “whatever” the Lord wants them to be, whether in one moment it looks white in and in another moment it looks redneck and in another moment it looks Ethiopian etc.
