If Trump talks to white audiences, it’s only because blacks chose not to go.

And I suspect that, like Tea Party rallies, blacks who do show up will be warmly greeted.

It would not hurt Trump to make one or two appearances in black neighborhoods of swing states.

Yes, but in black OWNED areas, not black OCCUPIED areas. Because he'll be talkin' jobs, you see, and in some of the black occupied areas they don't want 'em. The folks with an ownership interest in their own communities will be more open to the message.

The “black outreach” is definitely a potential gain for Republicans because it has never been so clear that the Dems have utterly failed them. If the Republicans can pick up black votes without compromising their principles (just because of the horrors inflicted on blacks by Dems for 100+ years), they should do it.

As for whites, once affirmative action was ruled legal/constitutional it was all over. As long as they are a fractured bunch along gender, class, sexuality, and generational lines they have no voice. The female, poor, deviant, or elderly whites that have historically supported Dems are now watching the country evolve into one where white males no longer create jobs or white babies...

Has he been invited to speak before black audiences?
The NAACP invited him. But accepting is a fool’s errand, because you will certainly be shouted down. Trump would win the national election in a landslide if he got 20% of the black vote, and yet speaking before an 80% hostile audience is always going to be a disaster.

Hence, no speeches to audiences self-selected to be hostile, even if you do have a program to offer which could attract a significant minority of the group in a secret ballot.

Even if that were true, and not saying it isn't, I think it still would be a net gain for Trump to show up and deliver a speech detailing to the extent possible what he proposes to help black Americans. They likely wouldn't like the fact that he didn't out-promise the Dems when it come to freebies.

After Sanders had the mic taken away from him at Sanders’ own even, Trump announced that no one would ever do that to him. Consequently if Trump were to go to a 100% black liberal venue, precisely that would happen. They would create a circus.

No, there is nothing to be gained by giving the Democrats a new “convention bump” and further isolating/intimidating any blacks who might think of expressing support for him. It is a fool’s errand, nothing else.

They likely wouldn't like the fact that he didn't out-promise the Dems when it come to freebies.
. . . and that would be the entire story of the event. Benefits from participating in it? Bupkis.

Wait until Hillary! goes to speak somewhere at an all-Republican venue first. She won’t even hold a news conference with her journalist allies!

You make your point but I don’t think they would storm the stage at an NAACP event. Just showing up would benefit Trump. How much benefit hard to say. He would have to follow up by addressing blacks in more places.
