Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans
American Thinker ^ | September 19, 2016 | Patricia L. Dickson

Posted on 09/19/2016 10:15:58 AM PDT by Kaslin

Regardless of the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump's rise will force the Democratic Party to eventually have to address how its elected officials have neglected black Americans, its most loyal constituency.

The Democratic Party's worse nightmare happened when Donald Trump reached out to black Americans at a campaign rally in Wisconsin. Trump's outreach was prefaced by challenging blacks to do an honest assessment of their return on investment after 50 years of voting Democrat. The most damning words that Trump spoke were "what the hell do you have to lose" by voting Trump? The last thing Democrats want blacks to do is to ponder that very question, knowing that the answer is nothing.

In the meantime, Democrats and their cohorts in the media have become unhinged at Trump's outreach to blacks. For weeks prior to and immediately after Trump's initial outreach, the media were quick to erroneously report that polls had Trump getting only 1% of black support. Of course, any thinking person who studies history knows that those supposed polls could not be accurate. Every Republican president in history has gotten at least 4-6% of the black vote. How is it possible that Trump was getting only one percent? Furthermore, if the polls were indeed accurate, why were liberals so upset at Trump's outreach?

“Why can’t a publication like American Thinker not get this right?!”

Those darn double negatives are tricky, too. ;)

If African Americans are fairing so well under the Democrats then why are their schools so bad?

This is why Donald Trump's presidential run was such a necessity in 2016. Both Democrats and Republicans alike have spent the last 20+ years doing every they can to flood this country with illegal immigrants -- which has done nothing but undermine the precarious position of the black American working class.

This is why Trump -- who is basically an independent regardless of his official party affiliation -- has done so well since he announced that he was running.

Don't for they're as well.

Let's not forget about accept and except

I'm also a stickler for affect and effect but now I'm just whining.

“Democrats Are Losing Control of Black Americans”

Control being the key word.

This is great news. Not so much because of the electoral implications, but because a gop candidate is actually competing for the votes of black Americans rather than assuming they’re the chattel of the rat party.

Long overdue.

What cities? I don’t think anyone expects him to carry any of the usual major liberal cities. Just need a larger turn out all over and alot of Dems staying home.

Something to consider...

Donald Trump's rise will force the Democratic Principled Conservatives of the Republican Party to eventually have to address how its elected officials have neglected black Americans...

“The Trump Train = the new Underground Railroad helping folks escape off the Dem plantation!”

“That. Is. A. Great. Line. Somebody Make sure Trump people get to see it.”

Seems to me a good chance of making that happen, Cecil, is to start a new thread, using that quote as the title! You’ll get great visibility. I’ve been meaning to read Star Parker’s book “Uncle Sam’s Plantation-How Big Government Exploits America’s poor and What We Can Do About it” ever since I first heard her speak years ago. She is a former welfare mother who transformed her life. I took a break from writing this comment to order a copy from Amazon. Thank you for jogging my memory!
