CNN's Charles Blow: Trump 'Bigotry' Is 'Urinating on' Blacks, 'Telling to Dance in the Rain' By Brad Wilmouth | August 24, 2016 | 2:30 PM EDT
Appearing as a panel member on Wednesday's New Day, liberal CNN political commentator and New York Times columnist Charles Blow ranted about Donald Trump's recent appeals to black voters as being "the most horrible type of bigotry," as he hyperbolically asserted that "It is the kind of bigotry that says, 'I will knock you down while I pretend to pick you up.' It says that 'I am not talking to you, I'm talking to the guy behind you or over your shoulder.' It is the kind of bigotry that says, 'I am urinating on you and telling you to dance in the rain.'"
After beginning the segment by complaining that "you have to stop calling it outreach to black people because it's not ...It's an outreach to white people, right?" a bit later he added that Trump is trying to reach "the moderate ones who say, 'I don't want to be the one -- woman, man -- that votes for the racist guy. And if this guy can change his opinion, I do want to be a conservative, but I don't want to be the conservative who votes for the racist guy, and now he's different.'"
Ad Feedback The liberal commentator bluntly concluded: "And this is an insult to all people of color -- both black, Hispanic and otherwise because he is using us as pawns to get to you. You do not get an out. No, the guy is a bigot yesterday, he's a bigot today, he will be a bigot tomorrow. And, if you vote for him, you are voting for a bigot. That's it."
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Wednesday, August 24, New Day on CNN:
ALISYN CAMEROTA: Charles, has he won you over with that speech?
CHARLES BLOW, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: First of all, you have to stop calling it outreach to black people because it's not.
CAMEROTA: What is it?
BLOW: It's an outreach to white people, right? That's all it is, and every time for the last 10 days people have been on television saying this is an outreach to black people, that is a lie, and we all know that it's just a lie.
CHRIS CUOMO: Why is it a lie?
BLOW: Because it is the most insidious kind of bigotry. It is the kind of bigotry that says, "I will knock you down while I pretend to pick you up." It says that "I am not talking to you, I'm talking to the guy behind you or over your shoulder." Is is the kind of bigotry that says, "I am urinating on you and telling you to dance in the rain."
This is the most horrible type of bigotry, and the fact that people keep asking the same question, particularly to black commentators like me, "Is he reaching out to black people?" He is not reaching out to black people. There's nothing about this appeal that has any resonance with anyone black that I can even find. I even looked at other, the largest black websites that I could find just to see if anybody was taking it seriously. Not a single person I could find was taking it seriously. The only people taking it seriously is white people.
CAMEROTA: The white voters you say he's reaching out to, doesn't he already have them? Why is he reaching out to those voters at all?
BLOW: No, no, no, he does not have the ones you were just talking about in your last segment. It is the moderate ones who say, "I don't want to be the one -- woman, man -- that votes for the racist guy. And if this guy can change his opinion, I do want to be a conservative, but I don't want to be the conservative who votes for the racist guy, and now he's different."
Well, actually he's not different. He's not talking to us. He's pretending to talk to us as he talks to you. And this is an insult to all people of color -- both black, Hispanic and otherwise because he is using us as pawns to get to you. You do not get an out. No, the guy is a bigot yesterday, he's a bigot today, he will be a bigot tomorrow. And, if you vote for him, you are voting for a bigot. That's it.
Sounds like the overseer is scared some of his slaves are going to bolt the plantation...
Blowhard was giving us “too much information” about his own fantasies.

The leftists are ALWAYS accusing the right of the things the leftists do.
Smells of desperation.
Charles Blow? Never heard of him. But I bet he’s black, given what he’s saying.
for 50 year Democrats have exploited African Americans for votes and have ruined their lives completely. I cannot understand how an African American can vote Democrat without holding their nose or throwing up.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”--- Booker T. Washington, My Larger Education
Yep. Charles blows and sucks at the same time.
So much wisdom in that quote.
It’s not just a name, it’s a description.
Like “Reggie Love”
Blow has been throwing a huge hissy fit for the last few days over Trump reaching out to blacks. It tells me that Trump is right on target and should do more of it. Helping blacks get out of their Democrat created rut is the best revenge against racial grievance mongers like Blow.
I saw Charles lose it on another interview recently, very unprofessional. He kept saying to the other guest, “Who are you? Why are you here? I don’t know you.”
Blacks leave the plantation and he’s out of a job.
“SOME” of these folks seem to be doing a pretty fair job of wee-weeing all over their own brothers and sisters, and then blaming it on a different race.
If a white male candidate does not "reach out to blacks" then he is a racist.
and
If a white male candidate does "reach out to blacks" then he is even more of a racist.
The Blow-man is one confused negro.
Race pimp is unhinged because his cushy lifestyle by exploiting black stereotypes is threatened by Trump.
He should change his name from Charles Blow to Charlatan Blowhard.
