Thanks for the article, 2DV.
This is actually one of the most pleasing aspects of the election so far for me, because I have always had close black friends whom I respect very greatly. I consider that the blacks are as true Americans as any of us . . . certainly have been here as long as any of us except the Indians . . . and they should naturally be a fully integrated (no pun intended) part of the rising American nationalist movement.
Trump wants to unite Americans under the banner of opportunity. Democrats want to divide them with false cries of oppression.
Shortly after he announced, I contacted the campaign and suggested that Trump work out business partnerships with minority entrepreneurs to create jobs. It would involve training workshops in the major cities and close cooperation with the police and community leaders. If those in the community could be convinced to work with the police, jobs would come and their lives would be changed.
Obvious solution to the problem and I’m disappointed no Republican has even attempted this avenue until now.
Jack Kemp.
'Cept that would be "Actin' White" and they would face immediate expulsion and shunning from peers and possibly family.
You have to separate them from the poisonous culture before they can become a part of society. There is apparently massive peer pressure to not do that, and remain "black".
I don’t know much about The Donald’s plan for Detroit but in my wildest dreams Detroit.... there are certain parts of Detroit that need bulldozing & to do that would cost a lot of money- maybe turn some land into community gardens ?
a resounding AMEN!
Certainly the bulldogging is in order but not to turn it over to any city government at this stage. While driving through Milwaukee earlier this year I got a eyefull of a lot of good old buildings closed up and offering nothing as far as the tax base goes. I thought then that if Trump does win out, these areas all over the country will be prime locations for the expansion that will be needed when jobs and manufacturing is brought back.
The big question is who actually owns them now? If the taxes have gone to default, the city does and therein lies the incentive for fire sales of urban property given that most of the property is salvageable as in some that we see today that just the historical shell is preserved with lots of new windows and doors in addition to a whole host of improvements inside that would make these properties ideal locations for renovation as the cities would rather collect taxes than having to pay to maintain them.
re: If word gets out that Trump has a plan
The word is not getting out.
The media only covers Trump’s insults of others. Most in the media are not even aware that Trump has any plans. That is because they are not in the slightest interested in boring stuff. People in the media only find personal attacks interesting.
I think the first thing Trump must do is halt the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S.A. and their sale in the inner cities.
Simultaneously, he must focus his formidable problem solving techniques to bringing the people out of poverty.
Training Workshops?
You are a Minder, a Micro Manager, and a Big Govt Tyrant.
Govt FAILS at eveything including training.
Just cut spending, cut taxes.
You are another tyrant hoping to get rich on mismanaged Other People’s Money scams. Learn to run your own life. The people have spoken and tell you to GET LOST!
You my friend have no confidence in everyday people.
Trump is doing a live town hall on Hannity tonight (9/21). Pastor Darrel Scott (big Trump supporter) is also supposed to be on as well as Dr. Ben Carson. As I understand it, it will be held in a black church in Cleveland, OH.
