After Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump launched into his pitch for black America, several outlets reported the black community taking offense, though the majority of what the media found offensive in Trump’s speeches has been explicitly highlighted in the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Black Lives Matter website featured an op-ed in Fall 2015 titled “11 Major Misconceptions About the Black Lives Matter Movement,” that sought to clear up misconceptions. The op-ed pointed to the exactly same issues Trump covered in his speech.
“But black people are disproportionately poorer, more likely to be targeted by police and arrested, and more likely to attend poor or failing schools,” the article claimed.
The latest Black Lives Matter endorsed platform devoted an entire section to “economic justice” and called for a federal jobs program to help “the most economically marginalized Black people.” The platform also stated that blacks have been denied the opportunity to a good education.
During a speech in Michigan aimed at black voters, Trump espoused many of these key talking points.

TRUMP is stealing their thunder.
Trump effectivly tied their grievances to the Democratic party and their Progressive policies
Hillary could kill and eat an infant, and the press would praise her leadership and tell us the child had it coming.
Trump could sit quietly in a church pew, and the press would call for his prosecution for loitering.
Heh.
...Stop letting the left rip Trump for things they too have said...
And they rip Trump for what he hasn’t done but Hillary actually has. Such as her saying that KKK West Virginia leader for years, Robert Byrd, was her “Mentor.”
Proper response to article: Isolate, spotlight for hypocrisy and bias, ridicule greatly. Repeat.
You are so correct. That is why her running series of scandals doesn’t faze her base. She is acting like the head of a mafia crime family with one lie and theft after another and the Democrat and illegal base not only doesn’t care, but applauds her exploits against a country they hate.
The City of Milwaukee, or the citizens of Milwaukee need to sue these bastards right out of existence....JUST LIKE happened to the Klan.
Get some criminal prosecutions and convictions as well.
The media is so convinced of its righteousness that it cannot see that it is a mass of contradictions and lies.
The RCP is not actually a legal political party like Communist Party USA or Workers World Party.
Don’t care, they have millions of Soros dollars.
I was just pointing out that fact about them. :)
The media knows that if they lose this election, there will be a tremendous shift in their influence and stature. What needs to happen is a Renaissance in which the quality of journalism and of journalists, and thus their stature, is based on their honesty, neutrality, and investigative rigor - not upon ‘gotcha’ moments or their adherence to leftist (what they think is progressive) ideology.
