Full Title - Eugene Robinson: Trump Isn't Really Going For Black Votes, He's Trying To Convince Moderate White Voters He Isn't Racist
Eugene Robinson weighs in on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's "pivot" last week, where he directly appealed to African-Americans.
"It seems obvious to me that he wasn't speaking to African-Americans," he said.
Robinson characterized Trump's appeal to black voters as: "Your lives are miserable, you live in hell."
"That is not the way to appeal to anyone. You know it," Robinson said. "He has been invited to speak to the NAACP, the Urban League, etc. He has declined them all. So, he clearly is talking to white voters in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Washington [Northern Virginia] and he is trying to say he cares about African-Americans too -- In my own condescending, inappropriate and insulting way. I care about them, so I'm not a racist and you can vote for me." (emphasis by RCP staff)

Robinson is the modern equivalent of a plantation House N***** and knows his favored position is contingent on pleasing Massa, the white Liberals.
As has been posted here many times today, Eugene is a raciss idjit. If you have had to listen to him more than a few times, you realize that he is a few eggs short of a dozen ... elevator don’t go all the way to the top ... a few cards short of a deck ... etc
Robinson has hafl-a-point. A large number of PTA moms do not want to be called or viewed racist. They voted for Obama for that reason.
Even if Trump is sincere about reaching out to Blacks, the biggest vote impact is probably on PTA moms..including the metrosexual moms.
Same is true of immigration. Each immigrant/ethnic voter has 3 or 5 voting friends who have no problem with immigranumts legal or illegal. Those 3 to 5 friends out number the actual number of immigrant/ethnic voters.
Whether JD Hayworth in AZ or Oberweis in IL or UT or anywhere, the swing voters have too many friends that are illegals. They sit beside them in church. They work beside them. Their kids play together. That friendship is stronger than political rhetoric.
Couldn’t have said it better myself........
lol. What a gig he has. “It seems...to me.” I’ll bet everything he’s ever said or written could have started with those words. Zero accountability.
Eugene is a commie.
He a ignant commie.
The black Dem pundits have been pushing this meme for the past couple of days.
