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.

May God bless her. And more power to her.
Go Trump.
The truth hurts, maybe it’s tough love?/s
As someone stated he should run a few adds on BET.
Yep...but I still never trust a hyphenated woman. Ever.
I never thought I would NOT Support Mr. Trump, sick of the I support Trump BUT, BUT..there is no BUT..
Trump’s statements are not “unbelievable” -because they are true. They are unacceptable, however, as truth is largely unacceptable to the liberal mind.
Give me one example moron. If someone attacks him unfairly, lies about him, he is going to attack back twice as hard, it's very simple. If you find that "embarrassing" then don't come crying to mama when you find yourself hiding under a car because 10,000 Islamo Nazis armed with flamethrowers are burning people alive at your local shopping mall because you were stupid enough to vote for Hillary because "she doesn't embarass me"
Why is the word “Black” capitalized? Special status?
Really... get shot in the "hood" or pick a new horse....
....pick one and flog the rascal!
The choice is All Yours!!
Why don’t you read the article before vomiting in the comments section.
Looks like I hit a nerve here. Ping.
Good find.
So true! The truth is not acceptable to the liberal mind is because much of their policies have been huge failures. Lifetime government welfare meant the destruction of the family and that included many Black families. When their policies fail in the real world, they don't like it being pointed out. Liberalism is beyond a mental disorder.

Plenty of American Negro’s have spoken out about the plight of so many of that race...to no avail. Reverends Jackson and Sharpton make their living off the Negro plight by keeping them on their own plantation with activist epithets of Jim Crow, Not Black Enough, Getting too White...teaching disrespect for bettering yourself. Hillary wants to keep them on her government plantation with government handouts just like Obama has encouraged pay for not working his past seven plus years..... Trump wants to see people working.....
How right you are about these two.
Pure opportunists with no real talent or vision.
Lining their pockets at the expense of their own people.
Welcome to reality Imani.
We’re glad to have you here. Now let’s start fixing this sh!t show.
One thing nobody will ever mention is that only about 1 in 10 if that work in the private sector. Would not be surprised to find the stats being more like 1 in 20. If it were not for government jobs there really wouldn’t be a black middle class at all. This is a major failing that is not up for discussion.
That’s a very good point
But I really love your tag line :-)
