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.

Please explain what you are getting at?
What I am saying harks back to Jesus. Go to Him.
And where ever did I do what you accused? Please explain.
I am a severally flawed Individual.
I have accepted Christ as my Savior.
I’ve done the math.
The only out is self delusion or Insanity.
Please advise,
Z
I never advised otherwise.
How do you paint me as coming up with contrary advice?

We can start with forgiveness.
Everything is great until you need shoot some Islamist asshole in the head.
Not because they are threatening your life today. But because you as a Christian recognize that they threaten everything you believe in.
What if she’s hyphenated and trustworthy?
Yes, Gd bless every black American who dares to rethink the Democrat hold over them.
WHAT HAS IT GOTTEN YOU???? They live DAMN WELL off pandering to you. Conservatives want a fair playing field. Black leadership (and white lib leadership) says you can’t handle a fair playing field. You guys fall for it. But they do not do anything to help the next generation of black Americans.
GIVE US A CHANCE. Trump wants Americans to achieve. That means us, of any ethnicity!!!!
Slow down there, hoss. People like her are not going to go full bore from the beginning. Give it time. See it grow.
You’re watching history right n front of you.
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.
And not just black men. White fathers are suffering too. But yes, you want to talk about PRIDE: real pride comes from being able to provide for a family. Hear, hear.
Unless/until both the parents AND the teachers/authority figures in black kids’ lives stop putting up with the thuggery and gangsterism of their kids, there is no amount of money that will improve the schools in minorty communities.
The Donald hit the liberal fascists hard on the state of the
Black Community. Obama through them a few bones, a few community organizers, but did not even attempt to solve any economic problems , education or black family matters.
All Obama did was use the Black Community for grand standing.
Fwiw.
Liberals have an extraordinary way to disconnect themselves from reality, logic and their own feelings to promote uncertainty as what they wish to be the norm.
REDNECKS come in all the colors, but once you scratch them they are all RED, WHITE, AND BLUE underneath.

[That REACHED her! Trump is viewing all of this with fresh eyes that care. He gives a ‘dam’. Most presidential candidates are over-exposed to the cesspool by the time they run.]
Good reporting is often the same as being a good lawyer.
She’s a ‘hostile witness’ who ends up defending Trump anyway.
That’s why her partizanship was quoted — establishing that she’s very partizan against him and YET ... can’t help defending him.
I am reminded of something a great American named Sam Houston once said: “The Truth Burns, but burns clean.”
... and she will probably still vote for HRC. God I hope not. We are living in insanity
To continue the insanity I'll respond to myself.
I have noticed very anecdotally black women being very supportive of DJT, probably about five (including Diamond and Silk). I am wondering if the heart break at lost futures and opportunities for their sons and daughter is so reverberates through their daily thought process that perhaps the idea of doing something different to save their kids might take hold.
Come on American people vote American vote Trump!

Of course it would reach her, and it would reach any black person who isn’t an outright moron.
