Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday pointed out a black audience member at a rally, drawing attention for his awkward phrasing.

“Look at my African-American over here,” Trump said to the audience member during a rally in Redding, Calif. “Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about?"

"president" Obama has a 26 year old kid who writes his speeches-- Adam Frankel

The speeches are loaded onto the teleprompter and away actor Obama goes, reading his lines for the day. When Obama has no lines, he says the darndest things or stutters incoherently. Here is obama claiming to be a muslim, and then a reporter has to help him remember he's actually a Christian. In this video, the power goes out on his teleprompter and he babbles like he has brain damage and talks about "all the the the the the okey doke."

My point being, I like Trump because he has no teleprompter and he speaks off-the-cuff. Hey, here's a black guy! I like that.

[GreyFriar]

Ah, leftists will scream racism, while to me it appears as a well deserved jab at those who say that Blacks don’t support him.

[oblomov]

Not exactly a macaca moment.

[Mr. K]

STILL don’t give a S**t, media...

Its him, or the same old, same old...

[originalbuckeye]

Bring back Diamond and Silk, too!

[alloysteel]

So far as Americans of African origin who support The Donald go, few are more enthusiastic than Diamond & Silk, the sisters on You-Tube and Facebook who post regularly and proclaim their message in no uncertain terms.

[americas.best.days...]

LOL. I look forward to Diamond and Silk responding to this!

I don’t believe it was an audience member. When the entourage got off the plane there was an African American. Trump was asking him to check on the black guy who punched the kkk hooded disruptor at a prior rally. So I think it was a Trump staff member.

Remember the scene in Rush Hour when Jackie Chan, following Chris Tucker’s lead, refers to the guy in the bar as “My n_____,”? The ensuing fight was pretty good.

[Patriot Babe]

OMG yesterday on CNN there was a round table discussing about this “Look at myAfircan-American over here”. How racist and crap, it was nothing but babble talk and smearing Donald as a racist.

[stars & stripes forever]

It was a demonstrative term of affection - nothing else.

[Pelham]

That’s because liberals are race obsessed. Accusing others of Racism Thoughtcrime helps them hide their own not so hidden racism.

Tribalism and racism are part of every human society and they have it just like every other group. For some reason Americans have let themselves be browbeaten for the last 50 years and have allowed liberals to use government and the media to hound people who they deem guilty of racism, which is a wonderfully expansive and flexible thoughtcrime. Now they have it include’s Trump being happy to see a black supporter in the crowd.

[georgiegirl]

exactly—Trump uses “my” for anyone that is on his side and loves them for it.

Ya know, it occurred to me some years ago when I was overlooking the huge lunch area at work from a mezzanine. It was quite telling of racial dynamics that most seem to ignore.
My corporation has every ethnicity you can imagine from Chinese to Indian, Latino to black, Whites to Middle Eastern folks.

Try to picture...a very large lunch area with dozens of tables/chairs. As I gazed over the lunch room, I noticed the most egregious example of racism I've ever witnessed in my lifetime. My mind began to process.

Blacks congregated with the blacks, Asians with the Asians, Latinos with the Latinos, A-rabs with the A-rabs, Whites with the Whites with small amounts of intermingling during the peak of lunchtime.

Then I thunk to my-seff. Seff, folks from all walks of life are to some degree racist w/o even really being aware of it. It is a natural attraction we all have to associate with those who are more like ourselves. To do so is a basic human freedom. Racism in some instances is not an evil the progressives like to espouse....unless of coarse, you're white.

Only white people are forbidden to congregate, to live, work, shop where they too feel most comfortable.

This whole PC racial equality thing is a big fat lie, a deception to further an agenda.

[Maceman]

I have to admit I cringed when I heard him say that not once but several times.

Would have been much better if he had said: “One of my black supporters.”

[nonsporting]

Let them find fault with “African American”.

“My” could be twisted to mean a singleton, sole, only AF. But this can be addressed by Trump by pointing out “his” many AFs.

[JimRed]

Blacks who show up at Tea Party rallies are at risk of bruising from all the pats on the back and sore wrists from all the handshakes. I suspect it is the same at Trump rallies.

[JimRed]

Would have been much better if he had said: “One of my black supporters.”

Hey, in the 'hood he'd be referred to as "My Nigga" by a friend.

Biden about Obama : “ “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”
