As polls show Donald Trump performing better than ever with black voters, progressive rapper Azealia Banks is expressing support for Trump’s popular immigration policy because of the positive impact it could have on black Americans.
“Do you think it’s bad that I sort of agree with [Trump’s] stance on immigration?” the rapper wrote on her Instagram account on September 7th.
Banks, a black rapper from Harlem, made headlines in March of this year by declaring her hatred for “this country” and “white Americans.”
Banks explained that her support for Trump’s immigration plan is based on the detrimental impact mass immigration has had on the black community. “Black Americans still have not been paid reparations for slavery,” she wrote. “It’s selfish, but America has been really good at convincing me that everyone else’s problems are more important than my own.”
Following an immediate onslaught of progressive backlash, Banks tried to vaguely signal to progressives that her pro-America immigration statement was just a “social experiment.” However, all of her social media posts thereafter demonstrate a strong support for the ideas underpinning Trump’s rise.
“If the United States of America is an aircraft on its way down, (which it seems to be) I must put my own air mask on before I assist others,” Banks later wrote.
Indeed, black Americans have been disproportionately impacted by mass immigration. “Competition from immigration accounts for approximately 40 percent of the 18-percentage point decline in black employment in recent years,” U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow has documented. “That’s nearly a million jobs lost by blacks to immigrants.”

She is right—Trump—a president for all Americans.
“Get DOWN”.
Johnson’s Great Society, which did great harm to the black community, was reparations in a way. Didn’t work out so well. Black families and black employment has suffered.
Wonder how she likes it when she realizes how many Muslims the semi-black president has imported.
Hey Banks, If you can prove to me that you were a slave and that I was a slave owner then we can talk about ‘reparations’. If you can’t prove those two then shut your stupid foul mouth about it.
Dress em up in appropriate garb and fast track em in....
She shouldn’t worry; obama’s got her back. He hates america and whites as much as she does.
Hey, no dissension in the ranks . . . you “aunt jemimah,” you!

Trump has made a brilliant move by focusing on illegal immigration.
Illegal immigration negatively affects blacks, Hispanic citizens, and other traditionally Dem groups. Illegals compete with working-class citizens and drive down both their employment and wages. And unions will not oppose illegals, even when illegals negatively impact their membership, because that would go against the Dem agenda.
This could fracture the Dem coalition.
If a convicted child molester held up a sign "Pedophiles for Tax Reform" in support of your candidacy, is that the kind of support you'd like to highlight?
