Donald Trump has been urging African-Americans to vote for him for President by asking them, "What have you got to lose?" Things are so bad for blacks in many of our hollowed-out inner cities like Detroit and Chicago, it is a fair question. In fact, I have been asking myself the same question, "What have I got to lose?" Every time a typical Republican or Democrat gets elected, the economy gets worse, the country goes deeper in debt, and my individual freedoms diminish.
I’m not so sure how successful Trump has been with African-Americans. Many blacks have swallowed the falsehood that there is a free lunch in the modern Democrat welfare state if only they’ll support Hillary Clinton, just as they’ve supported previous Democrats. It’s the modern Democrat plantation for inner city blacks, and I think it’s ironic that the old slave plantations were run exclusively by Southern Democrats. They just replaced force with welfare and empty promises.
But my situation is different. I am a middle class Irish-American who escaped the Irish ghetto of South Boston many years ago. I’m not so different than many African-Americans who have escaped their inner-city ghettos. I have no intention of going back to any semblance of the crime-ridden, impoverished streets from which I came, and the blacks I know of my generation who achieved the same escape from crime and poverty and helplessness feel the same way.

I’m voting for Trump primarily because of what he’s not. He’s not a race-baiter. He’s not a lying, crooked politician who has profited by granting access to Government. He’s not a gun-grabbing socialist who thinks American Capitalism has to be dismantled. He’s not a career politician who owes everything he is to other career politicians and their Wall Street sponsors.

I am so proud of that. We are Americans — together. The democraps take people for granted— including women. TRUMP DOES NOT!! He will be the President of ALL the people.
Bump…
I’ve talked to four black men about this. Two were old vets at the VA and two worked at a rent-a-car agency. They all hate Hillary and they all said they were voting for Trump.
Democrats like to “divide and conquer” and set people against each other.
Trump wants to “make America great” for everyone.
Good article, more great reading at the link.
I wonder how many Jews will vote for Frau Hitlery. They still seem to believe the slogan that ‘Arbeit macht frei’. They are the smartest people in the world, but when it comes to elections, they are just as dumb as the MSM.
> democraps take people for granted
True. But you’re letting a lot of scum off the hook. RNC, nevertrumpers, Ryan, Will, etc. They all have a very low opinion of us when they even bother to think of us. They assume support fron 30%+ and think lies will get a majority to keep their lifestyle. And willing to give Hillary a supreme court to kept their lifestyle. But the SC only affects us little people to
You are so right. I agree 100%. RINOS are part of the UNIPARTY!! They are screwing all of us.
There are still Irish ghettos in Boston? 100 years ago, I could see it, but today? Is he just talking about a working class, Irish section of Boston? Just curious.
I hope Trump has Hillary and her monkeys arrested the day after he’s sworn in... If not sooner. This country cannot survive such injustice from it’s govt.
Hear. Hear. Bravo!!
I love Backwoods Home Magazine! Great articles on self reliant living...and of course on libertty!
What a great article. Trump will be a united, just like Reagan. We got divided since the CLINTON years...
