What a rambling, poorly written article.
Rochelle Riley is a known racist.
Not a trick
Anyone who thinks that Trump’s decision to pardon boxer Jack Johnson and commute the sentence of the unfairly sentenced Alice Johnson wasn’t part of a greater plan is delusional.
True. Trump seems hell bent on correcting injustices where ever they may be. Jack Johnson was 1 of 17.
He doesn’t really have to do much
BS. Trump’s pro-business policy together with the tax cuts have resulted in record low unemployment for Blacks.
Anyone who thinks that Trump didn’t gain some black votes by those actions last week doesn’t understand the power of connecting with the disconnected.
True, but why is this a bad thing?
And now he’s considering pardoning Muhammad Ali, who doesn’t need his support, but that won’t stop Trump from claiming that he saved his reputation.
Pre-emptive discrediting of something that hasn’t happened.
It is one more distraction, among a series of distractions from federal investigations that Trump has tried. He also has tried threatening to fire people. Federal investigations = illegal deep state coup attempt He has even raised the idea of pardoning himself. No he didn’t. George Steponallofus got Rudy Giuliani to bite on a hypothetical which drove the news cycle for a week now.
And the NAACP didn’t march.
And the Urban League didn’t put out a statement.
And in Detroit, no one said a word.
Maybe blacks aren’t as stupid as you make them out to be Rochelle.
While the Democratic Party is sleeping, focused on winning November’s midterms rather than uniting behind a single 2020 candidate to challenge Trump, the president is wooing black voters with the help of Kim Kardashian who’s married to the Mad Rapper and has 60 million Twitter followers, many of whom are black.
He listens and acts, pardoning Alice Marie Johnson (black grandmother)
Donald Trump is succeeding at something few people thought possible. He is getting some black people to compare him to Barack Obama. Obama didn’t get Alice Johnson out of jail. Obama didn’t pardon Jack, even though Ken Burns asked him to and produced an entire documentary explaining why.
Why just some? Oh, implication is only stupid blacks would make such a silly comparison.
He is singlehandedly making people forget the strength and resilience and heart of the party that once tried to define itself as the place for the little guy, for the left-outs, for the have-nots.
Trump is exposing the democrat party reality, not a trick.
He is doing it by making people believe that he, whom Forbes describes as the first billionaire president in U.S. history, cares more about the little guy more than Democrats.
Article would be incomplete without a dose of class envy.
He is making people forget that the Democratic Party champions programs for the descendants of the enslaved while the GOP attempts to convince us that slavery wasn’t as big a deal as we have been taught.
Rochelle, silly girl the democrat party was and is the party of slavery.
Instead, he should ask Kim Kardashian for the names of about 100,000 other people, mostly black, in prison for long terms that were inhumane. There are plenty of folks who could deserve what he gave Alice Johnson.
“mostly black”? Ok, get off your butt Rochelle and compile the list of names with the documented injustice and send it to Trump for review. Don’t just include blacks, but everyone where injustice is worthy of commutation or pardon.
Donald Trump, who’s not the best businessman and, maybe not the best husband, is the best modern reality star of all time.
Just a reality star huh? A loser to be ignored? Presumptuous and wrong. You really do loath your black audience. You take them for fools who can’t see the truth for themselves.
And now he’s performing his biggest trick: convincing people that he cares more about black people than the Democratic Party. This, after he convinced poor people that he's better for them than any party.
Actions speak louder than words. Trump is a man of action. Rochelle, you are a woman hell bent on keeping blacks believing lies and firmly ensconced on the democrat plantation.
If they’re not careful, the Dems will look up and realize that the black base they’ve taken for granted for decades, might not be as enthusiastic as in the past. It’s not that they might vote for Trump. But they may not vote against him.
Define “careful”, increase their propaganda campaign of lies and empty promises?
That gives Trump his second term, and should give us all pause.
Why? More winning for blacks is bad because?
