Chris Matthews To Reporter At Trump Event: "Are There Any Black People There?"
RealClearPolitics ^ | August 21, 2015 | RealClearPolitics

MSNBC host Chris Matthews speaks with NBC reporter Katy Tur, who is following Trump at a campaign rally in Mobile, Alabama where 30,000 people are expected to turn out to see The Donald. Matthews described the scene at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama as a "redneck riviera."

Matthews asked the network correspondent, who was live on scene, if "any black people were there."

"I have not seen any today that have come out for Donald Trump," Tur responded.

"[They are] normal looking people, who have normal looking opinions on things," the intrepid Tur observed.

I might care (barely) if Chrissie could establish objectively that the fraction of his audience that is black is greater than the fraction of Cruz supporters who are black.

Blacks, Chrissypooh— the one group to who it is just now dawning that obamaumao is tryting to destroy through illegal alien “amnesty”. Black job loss, especially teenagers— is monumental. So, yeah there probably are a lot of blacks listening to Trump— despite all demonrats attempts to pull the wool over their eyes with more bennies-— ala hitlery’s pandering.

Hardly Trump’s fault if black people don’t get themselves out to his rallies....

Trump needs to pour on the Bling to win the black vote.

Black Women (Oprah-style), and older black men went out and voted for Obama.

Young Black men will go out and vote for Trump just because he’s gangsta like Capone.

“No black people, just normal people.”

I believe what we have here is a case of micro-aggression. Or, perhaps, macro-aggression. Liberals ought to know better, considering that they invented the concept.

Think Matthews will ask Bernie why his state is the whitest in the Union?

“Hardly Trump’s fault if black people don’t get themselves out to his rallies....”

The new Big Lie by the media is that no black people or Hispanics are interested in Trump. Get them alone, and you will discover that they indeed are, because they aren’t very enthused about fighting over increasingly scarce jobs and falling wages, and, just like everybody else, they want their kids to do better than they did - which is utterly impossible under modern, customary Republicrat rule.

As opposed to a Bernie Sanders town hall which is basically the Star Wars bar scene.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear most of my Black friends say they like Trump. One reason is he has openly said we are screwing the loyal minority American workers by importing illegal low cost Mexicans. But also they know he is not beholden to The Man. Plus Black still harbor many social values (morals)

“No black people, just normal people.”

Democrats have a strange thought process.


Ya, that jumped out at me also.

Racist and bigot Matthews must think he’s a black man in a white body (at least from the waist up). What a moron.

The “Stump for Trump Ladies” were going to go on MSNBC but the network wanted to know who their family was and all kinds of personal info so the declined.

MSNBC SCREWS US OVER BECAUSE WE STUMP FOR TRUMP
http://webesisters.com/

“MSNBC weekend show UP WITH STEVE KORNACKI, (Steve was a former Dunkin’ Donuts boy), invited us on his show to speak about our support for Trump. But then at the very last second uninvited us when we wouldn’t provide the name of our employers, and deeply personal information. Why they need that? So they could do a hit piece on us. So after dedicating 4 hours to be on his show, they cancelled us because we want to protect our privacy. They try to spread hate about Trump at MSNBC, and now they try to do it to us. But we don’t play that game, we fight fire with fire! Please share this video to help us get the word out!”

When I tuned in to Fox at around 5p PDT Greta was winding down, and who should pop up at the Trump rally (live?). An elderly black gentleman. And he was at the podium...

I guess Chrissie doesn't get Fox News.

Chris Matthews’ residence, Chevy Chase, MD 20815
9 W. Kirke St.
http://www.celebrityhousepictures.com/chris-matthews.php

Assessed property value (2007): $2,062,936
http://www.city-data.com/montgomery-county/K/Kirke-Street-2.html

His home is in Chevy Chase village:

As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 1,953 people, 697 households, and 609 families residing in the town. The population density was 4,650.0 inhabitants per square mile (1,795.4/km2). There were 726 housing units at an average density of 1,728.6 per square mile (667.4/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 95.9% White, 0.6% African American, 0.2% Native American, 1.6% Asian, 0.5% from other races, and 1.3% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.8% of the population.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Chase_Village,_Maryland

And some of the history of racism against African-Americans in Chevy Chase:

As with many suburban towns throughout the United States during the first half of the 20th century, Chevy Chase excluded individuals based on race and religion. Founder Francis G. Newlands was an “avowed racist”[6] who in 1912 mounted his presidential campaign on a platform that called for a constitutional amendment to disenfranchise black men and limit immigration to whites only. Three years earlier, the Chevy Chase Land Company had brought suit against a developer who had begun to sell lots to black people in a planned subdivision called “Belmont” on the grounds that the developer had committed fraud by proposing “to sell lots...to negroes.”[6]

Chris, you are not black. Give up your job and let a black man have it.
