The second Black Leadership Summit took place in Washington this month.
The highlight of the conference was a trip to the White House, where President Trump spoke to a crowd of young black men and women, whose reception for him he referred to as the loudest he had ever received. It got even louder when the president was later interrupted with impromptu chants of “four more years!”
The mainstream media don’t like to cover this event because having young black people cheer for President Trump does not fit their narrative.
Trump then repeated one of his signature lines as a presidential candidate in 2016 when he would ask black and other minority audiences for their votes by saying: “What do you have to lose?”
As it’s turned out, they had everything to gain. Black unemployment now stands at a record low level of 5.5 percent.
With white unemployment hovering around 3.4 percent, this represents the smallest gap on record between the two groups.
The president signed into law the First Step Act, which is helping to reverse the oppressive criminal penalties introduced by President Bill Clinton in his 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.
Trump also created Opportunity Zones to incentivize businesses to move into neighborhoods that had been de facto redlined and abandoned by wealthy investors. This is helping to create both jobs and better quality of life; especially in minority communities, with $80 billion already slated to pour into these neglected urban areas.
For years, I have heard from black students and community leaders that the values of black Americans make them natural kindred spirits with conservatives. Whether it has to do with faith, family, or self-determination, black Americans believe deeply in the ideas of individual liberty and personal responsibility as embraced by our Constitution.

It is time for all Americans to come home
Excellent.
It’s true and good that someone is pointing this out.
I hope people are paying attention and look at the facts, not the Dem propaganda.
Any Freepers with a list of how much Trump has done for black Americans please share.
Thank you.
Sadly, I have a strong feeling the Trump voting results popularity among African Americans will actually go up 1%.
All the strenuous, exhausting efforts by both GHW and GW Bush,McCain and Romney barely got a few thousand votes up in any state.
And turned off many who declined to vote at all after the pandering.
And the shame of it is President Trump is NOT racist and genuinely wanted to meet with black leaders to seek out improvements for black people (and a few agreed but were denounced as Uncle Tom sellouts by the majority of blacks.)
More blacks will vote for Trump this time. They just won’t talk about it to other blacks.

I pray you are right.
Honestly they do t care. That’s why the Democraps don’t care about them. Blacks will vote for a sack of dog crap if it has a ‘D’ on it. How else do utter incompetent t dumbasses like Maxine Waters, Elijah Cummingsz and the rest keep living in DC for life? They don’t care.
Blacks have been kicked aside by the Dems for the poor,miserable “refugees” from South of the Border.
