That's Trump's call to make. Does it move the needle ? Maybe, maybe not. Prison/criminal justice reform is an issue of concern in the Black community. The Dems had years to address it, as they claim to be so "concerned", yet did nothing. Even hard-core Dem partisans will have to admit Trump has done more than his predecessor. Again, at least Trump is doing something, and notice is being taken.
"In other words, the very approach you’ve been defending. And then excusing when it’s been pointed out that it hasn’t accomplished anything, and in fact has made things worse."
There's no single approach. How do you conclude this particular action has made things "worse" ?
"Yet the overtures towards black *is* exclusive. It involves suppressing any criticism of blacks - and frankly, of anyone else who isn’t white, out of fear of offense."
I disagree. Speaking the truth is important. Speaking at all to the Black community, as I pointed out, has been a problem for the GOP. They don't bother to engage, and it's no surprise when they get hardly any of their votes. We need people out there every day pushing the message, not just come election time. They're not there, and that has to change.
"Openly talk about the anti-white resentment expressed in the media, in the universities, and enshrined into law. And when there’s a collective scream of fury that these are “white nationalist talking points”, double down and say it’s OK to be white, and there’s no place in this country for anyone who hates white people - or black people, or asians, or anyone else."
You're not incorrect, but that's related to another key issue that has to do with our out-of-control education system, media and rotted culture. Although it is partly related, obviously.
"That’s one hell of a lot better than trying to bribe blacks to vote for Republican by bragging about how you sprung so many drug dealers out of prison early."
I'm talking about going out there and pointing out that Trump has reduced unemployment in the Black community to the lowest point since they started keeping records. In doing so, that lowers the welfare rate. A key issue is restoration of the Black family, which was obliterated by the Demonrats and their welfare state policies, all done to buy votes. There has to be activists out there on a daily basis preaching that message of empowerment, self-reliance, restoration of family, importance of fathers and on and on, who remind the voters which party is better for them in the long run and which prefers to keep the status quo of perpetually aggrieved, perpetually impoverished, perpetually on welfare, perpetually in prison, perpetually in misery. The Demonrats MUST keep Blacks that way or they lose a gargantuan voting bloc, and without them, cannot continue to push their anti-American, degenerate, Marxist agenda.
