Sorry, Hillary: Trump’s policies are clearly better for blacks
The New York Post ^ | August 25, 2016 | John Lott

Hillary Clinton claims that some of Donald Trump’s appeal is “xenophobic, racist, misogynistic.” On Thursday she asked, “If he doesn’t respect all Americans, how can he serve all Americans?”

But who actually cares more about blacks, in particular poor blacks?

On everything from education to jobs to crime, Trump’s policies offer a lifeline to people who have been losing ground for decades. Hillary’s policies will just exacerbate them. And no amount of speeches will change that.

On education, Trump strongly supports school choice. This would give inner-city blacks a way out of horribly performing public schools. Clinton attacks charters and clearly opposes other forms of school choice, opting to protect teachers unions at the expense of students....

Yes, I know we have to play The Race Game during Election Time, but wouldn’t it be REFRESHING if Trump (I know Hillary! won’t) dropped this stuff and just focused on calling all of us, ‘Americans’?

I dunno. Just a thought. The Left wants to divide us; I think dropping the hyphenated-American crap and saying that from now on, Trump is going to just call EVERYONE an American, would do wonders!

But, what do I know? I’m just one of those, ‘oppressed women’ who managed to escape the kitchen long enough to post this and will, of course, vote for Hillary! because I only VOTE with my Lady Parts.

*SMIRK*

Truth is Truth—Still, the Majority will go Dimmycrat—still, if Trump can win over 25% He may well win. Same with Latinos.

Of course Trump's policies are better for blacks. Illegal aliens have been taking jobs from blacks. Yet Hillary not only pushes amnesty but wants more of the invaders to come here. Also, many of the resources are spent on illegal aliens - and they sure are pampered - could instead by spent on blacks and other US citizens.

The late African-American talk-show host and community activist, Terry Anderson pointed how the illegal aliens took jobs and damaged black communities.

THUD!



The NYPost actually said something positive about Trump.

Will wonders ever cease?

Earlier today was a Boston Globe thread about Clinton's health.

Are the Libs finally opening their minds? Nah. They will come to their senses and revert.

The “truth” really doesn’t matter. It won’t affect the black vote.

Most conservatives don’t understand the black vote. Hillary nailed it in her speech the other day. Conservatives think black and they think inner city poor blacks, those most affected by crime, drugs, and the inner city pathology. The inner city blacks who would be helped by Trump’s policies don’t vote.

Democrats think blacks and they see the middle and upper middle class blacks that Hillary referred to in her speech. These blacks are the ones who are members of the local and state government and teachers unions. They are the ones who benefit from democrat polices like affirmative action and set asides. These blacks are firmly indebted to the democrats. They will vote democrat.

Hillary’s supporters are out there claiming that Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again” is code for “Make America White Again.” Hillary echoed this in her speech yesterday.

The majority of US cities have large black populations that are fairing very poorly thanks to the democrats. Blacks vote for democrats in overwhelming numbers — well over 90%.

Makes sense for Trump to address them specifically. I don’t care for using “African-American,” but I can’t keep up with what the preferred identifiers are. I have Spanish-speaking members in my immediate family, and I have learned that they prefer the word latina/o to hispanic, but they are of course, Americans first.

Interesting. I’ve never looked at the voting stats, but now I would like to. That would mean the middle and upper class blacks don’t care about blacks in the inner cities.

I do think Obama pulled in a significant number of lower income blacks from the cities. If what you are saying is true, Hillary won’t have that benefit.

Does the typical clinton voter even know what 1/2 those words mean?
