Young Blacks Voice Skepticism on Hillary Clinton, Worrying Democrats
New York Times ^ | September 4, 2016 | By JONATHAN MARTIN

WASHINGTON — When a handful of liberal advocacy organizations convened a series of focus groups with young black voters last month, the assessments of Donald J. Trump were predictably unsparing.

But when the participants were asked about Hillary Clinton, their appraisals were just as blunt and nearly as biting.

“What am I supposed to do if I don’t like him and I don’t trust her?” a millennial black woman in Ohio asked. “Choose between being stabbed and being shot? No way!”

“She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail,” a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.

“He’s a racist, and she is a liar, so really what’s the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?” another young black woman from Ohio said.

Young African-Americans, like all voters their age, are typically far harder to drive to the polls than middle-aged and older Americans. Yet with just over two months until Election Day, many Democrats are expressing alarm at the lack of enthusiasm, and in some cases outright resistance, some black millennials feel toward Mrs. Clinton.

I take such glee in reminding every Democrat I encounter that if Hillary hadn’t stolen the nomination from Sanders, Trump might not have had the landslide that’s surely coming in November.

there is not a black in the US that wants to vote for an old, sickly White woman. They will stay home.

The NY Slime always makes race a part of every issue. So the young “black” populace doesn’t see things how the NY Slime purports it to be? How can that be if the NY Slime has always told us the “truth?” How?

If black voters remain indifferent to Clinton, they may stay home from boredom and depress the Democrat vote tallies down the ticket. That would help keep the House and Senate in GOP hands, which would be a good outcome.

Anyone that thinks Trump is a racist is a total moron.

They say he’s racist for wanting to send ILLEGAL (CRIMINAL) migrants home, and vetting muslims from terrorist countries. That’s not racist, it’s common sense.

3/4 of these idiots couldn’t find a racist if they were standing in front of one.

The term has lost all meaning.

They need to look in a mirror.

No. Agitators say Trump is racist because that is how criminals keep power, by ridicule.

Replace Trump with Local Dog Catcher. The Dog Catcher is racist. Ridicule keeps conformity within the group.

They'll get out and vote. The urban DemocRAT machine will throw out lots of "walkin' round" money. Lots of Kool cigarettes and Thunderbird will be distributed in the cities on November 8.

So, I’m dying to know what some of their responses are to your assertion?

We’ve talked a lot here about liberal heads exploding over one thing or another, but let me tell you, when the Democrats start to see internal evidence that Trump’s courting of the black vote is working, their head-explosions will be of the nuclear explosion variety, producing a tiny mushroom cloud over each exploded head.

Jonathan Martin has written at least two stories that I know of that may give him cause to find a horse’s head in his bed.
Working at the NYT and writing worrisome stories against Hillary is no way to get a raise.

It must be getting bad for the editors to let this pass.let
