Today, the National Black Republican Association announced via their blog that they will be endorsing Donald Trump during the presidential election. Trump quickly tweeted out a link to the announcement. NBRA Chair Frances Rice detailed their reasoning, writing
As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values. We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous.
We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth.
This endorsement has a particularly strong pull coming from this association given that the black Republican running against Trump, Ben Carson, did not speak to their beliefs as much as the white real estate mogul does. This gives credence to Trump's assertion that he polls well among black communities.
Following is the complete statement: http://blackrepublican.blogspot.com/2016/01/national-black-republican-association.html
Announcing National Black Republican Association Endorses Donald J. Trump By Frances Rice
We, the grassroots activists of the National Black Republican Association, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.
As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values. We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous.
We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth.
Black Americans across America are beginning to wake up and see clearly the reality of what is happening in black neighborhoods. Democrats have run black communities for the past 60 years and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands, witness Detroit, Baltimore and South Chicago.
We believe that Mr. Trump has demonstrated that he can push back against the mainstream media, end political correctness and free black communities from the destructive grip of socialist Democrats.
We urge our fellow black Americans to seize control over their own destiny and leverage their vote the way other groups do. It is way past time black Americans stop having their vote taken for granted by Democrats, hold politicians accountable for the content of their policies and not vote merely based on the label of their party.
Love Frances Rice !
Trump like FreeRepublic funds themselves !
Everyone remember to make your contribution to the freepathon !
Oh Noes! The FR Cruz supporters will collectively suffer a sudden and massive catastrophic cranial collapse. Trump’s demographic appeal is just too YUUUUGE to overcome ... I hear the fat lady warming up her pipes.
Against abortion with those exception IS steadfastly pro-life
You may not like that but it is the definition most people would use. It would also stop more than 95% of the abortions performed
I love it!
Fabulous!
I am very, very proud to say that I am pro-life. Donald Trump
A must read letter by Frances Rice that went wild on email a few years back !

The article link I published is from August, 2015. I’ve heard nothing from Trump since that time that tells me he is against rape/incest exceptions.
TTTT!!!
WOO HOO! NICE!!! GO TRUMP!!!
I will ping my Florida Freeper list to this! Especially because Mrs. Rice is also a Floridian.
The Florida Freepers who know me, might not know that I had the honor of meeting Mrs. Rice several years ago. I have such great respect for her. She is a true patriot and the one of the very best Educators of the TRUTH. She works tirelessly to educate those who will listen, about the truth of the founding of the racist Democrat Party and how Socialism was their goal from the beginning.
This endorsement of Donald Trump will send ALL the racist Socialists off the deep end where they belong!
YES! Fantastic.
One pundit earlier this week said that, if Trump is polling at 20% among the general black community, the contest is over for the Dems.
Good news. Thanks for the ping.
2 for 1 Ha.
Go Trump!
Fantastic Pic Trish!
The word is “induced” ... And here’s the rub - Trump supporters are realists, who understand that he is not 100 percent conservative, has a history of liberal positions, and has donated to both parties ... But the difference is that, unlike those who uncritically support Senator Cruz, we look at both the positives and the the negatives of Trump.
We are conservative, but we are not stupid. We see the demographics and we understand who it is that has broad appeal - and THAT is what wins presidential elections.
Granted, Trump is full of surprises - and we will have disappointments as well as victories - but even with such understanding, we are better off with Mr. trump than what we presently endure.
