Donald Trump visited a black neighborhood in Philadelphia on Friday and a black church in Detroit on Saturday. And liberals went berserk. If he’d known Democrats were so fearful of GOP black outreach, perhaps Mr. Trump wouldn’t have waited until two months before Election Day to start campaigning in inner cities.
During a roundtable discussion with businessmen, elected officials and clergy in North Philadelphia, Mr. Trump listened to stories about violent crime and bad schools. Speaking before a congregation at the Great Faith Ministries church in Detroit, he referenced “all those closed stores” he saw while riding through the neighborhood “and people sitting down on the sidewalk, and no jobs, and no activity. We’ll get it turned around.” Mr. Trump said “nothing is more sad than when we sideline young black men with unfulfilled potential, tremendous potential,” and he added that safe communities and good schools would be a priority of his administration. He called for a new civil rights agenda that includes school choice.
For weeks, Mr. Trump has been criticized by Team Clinton and the political left for courting black voters while standing in front of white audiences. Now we know such criticism was disingenuous at best. A Clinton campaign official called Mr. Trump’s Philadelphia visit “an offensive gimmick.” At a weekend press conference organized by the Clinton campaign, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan referred to the Republican presidential candidate as “the most phony major party nominee that I have seen in my lifetime” and wondered aloud what Mr. Trump was even doing in his city. “Are you here just to use Detroiters as props in a re-imaging campaign?”

Hillary should go to a black church and have a seizure and then say she was overcome by the Spirit.
More likely she fears a Lighting strike from above.
How dare him reach out to all Americans.
I wish Trump would go to Chicago and address the huge increase in black on black crime that’s occurred there this year. You can bet Nobama and Shrillary won’t touch that with a ten foot pole - and it’s in their own backyards.
Hillary should go to a black church and have a seizure and then say she was overcome by the Spirit.
She should find one that can castt the demons out.
Trump is out of line - Everyone knows that the blacks belong to democrats.
They even created the ghettos to house them.
And they give the blacks welfare to keep them alive between elections.
Now Trump comes in to steal a few away like a Fox in a chicken coop.
No wonder democrats are upset.
Keep in mind that the Democrats have been screwing over our Black fellow citizens, our fellow Americans, our brothers and sisters for 200 years. It is time we, as conservatives and Republicans, stood up and said "Enough!"
Donald Trump is the first Republican presidential candidate (note I do not say politician) to take this step.
Democrats are bigots.
If blacks EVER woke up and realized how the Democrat Party has RUINED their LIVES, their Cities, their Schools, their Families, their jobs, there would be BLOOD in the streets!! But alas, I don’t think they will wake up....they like Free stuff like Obamaphones!
“Mike Duggan referred to the Republican presidential candidate as “the most phony major party nominee that I have seen in my lifetime” and wondered aloud what Mr. Trump was even doing in his city. “Are you here just to use Detroiters as props in a re-imaging campaign?””
From the little token that wants us in West Michigan to feel bad for you and help rebuild Detroit with our money?
Keep on running your mouth, fat boy.
Loved that show. Scary portrayal of what Baltimore is like.
“and wondered aloud what Mr. Trump was even doing in his city.”
Wow, he owns a city!? .
She’s pissed because he didn’t say “I come to far to get where I wuz comin’ from - I ain’t no ways tarred.”
