Young Blacks Voice Skepticism on Hillary Clinton, Worrying Democrats
NY Times ^ | Sept. 4, 2016 | JONATHAN MARTIN

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.

I hope they realize that Trump wants to create opportunities for everyone, while the Dems want to keep an underclass that keeps voting for them, while they get nothing in return.

Vote Trump! Make America great again for EVERYONE."

As one radio host has said: "The left will always tell you what they are afraid of." So this must be true, or, on another level, it is pure BS. Never let the NY Slime be your raison d'etre as far as truth is concerned.

>>I hope they realize that Trump wants to create opportunities for everyone<<

democrats quite rightly take the black and hispanic vote for granted. In the first case, freebees is all it takes. For the latter, just conflate “immigrant” with “illegal alien.”

It is easy and if it doesn’t work this election it will in 8 years.

It sounds like the “Hillary is a liar” meme has the attention of liberal black voters.

They understand that if someone is a liar then you need to ignore what they say.

Since campaigns are all about talking, and one of the candidates is a liar, you have to put them on mute because you know they are trying to con you again.

So, my suggestion to Trump is have ads with “Hillary is a Liar” as the main theme, rinse and repeat, over and over and over again...(btw, put the words on the screen, you may be on mute... ;-) ).

Thanks for posting this article. I work at a state government agency with a majority of black co-workers. I remember how excited my co-workers were in 2008 & 2012 to vote for Obama. This year no excitement at all. You wouldn’t even think there was an election in 2 months.

Ann Althouse thinks the Clinton campaign is starting to panic and cites this article as evidence. I think she might be right.

He makes the point that Democrats are not delivering for blacks, and it’s time to “re-examine the relationship”.

They need to watch this Diamond and Silk video, showing how the Dems are creating new plantations, and how they’re keeping them on the plantations. This is one of the best things the ladies have done.

In the comments section there isn’t the usual stampede of White liberals rushing to defend the DNC candidate or the liberal view. Only a few obviously black Hillary supporters lecturing the young blacks to get out and vote “or else Trump will take away their voting rights” or something...

NO enthusiasm for Hillary in the NYT on this holiday from either blacks OR whites.

White liberal elite Democrats aren’t ‘delivering’ for blacks... they’re playing them for fools... as they do every election.

its not necessarily bad news if leftists dont vote... there is a way to reach millennials of any stripe or color: it’s referred to as red pilling.

my millennial kids have lots of friends and acquaintances in the urban areas of DC and Baltimore, they hand out infowars.com Hillary for Prison stickers and shirts they seem to get for free for ordering various supplements Alex flogs. Needless to say, its very popular among urban youth, who really seem to feed on conspiracy theories.

And this article is correct, they dont like Hillary at all...red pilling them makes them see Trump as Bernie 2.0 and they never bought into all the free stuff anyway. My daughter red pilled a bunch of Balt area rappers, who are now “shy Trump” supporters. The story she told was quite cute, by the end they said almost in unison: All we want is to make America Great Again!
