Comedy Central host Roy Wood Jr. sat down with a panel of African-American voters to get their take on what black voters want in a presidential candidate, and their responses seemed to surprise him.
The similarity among the six African-American voters he sat down with in Atlanta last week is that they voted for President Obama in 2012, with the exception of one who was too young at the time.
Which candidate do you think best understands the needs of the black voter? he asked.
One voter said Sen. Elizabeth Warren and two said Sen. Bernie Sanders, before the host got to Chris who said Donald Trump.
After laughter and one co-panelist saying huh?, Wood Jr. asked him to explain.
"Some of the stuff I've heard he's already doing, like prison reform," he replied. "Hes been hanging around black people as long as I can remember. They loved him until he ran for president as a Republican. Trump was the man.
Others disagreed, but then later in the segment after discussing the other candidates, Wood Jr. asked how many still thought Trump will win in 2020. Four out of the six raised their hands.
Do you honestly think any of these Democratic candidates can beat Trump? he followed up.
One respondent said perhaps if Democrats rallied around one candidate that person could beat the president.
So, we all need to agree on who that one candidate is and then all the other candidates support them. Tell me whos that candidate, he said.
Everyone rattled off a different name, much to Wood Jrs disappointment. Then Chris stepped in and said, Trump 2020, baby!
Comedy Central host tries to shame black Trump supporter watch it backfire and blow up in his face spectacularly.
This video has one of my favorite endings to any clip on the Internet.

The host then walked off the set.
"And there's a lesson for Democrats," he said. "You can't win the black vote by pandering because black people are as complex as any other voter base. If you want our trust, make promises you can keep, walk it like you talk it, and above all, keep the faith."
He then said a "prayer" that Chris's truck wouldn't start on Election Day so he wouldn't be able to case his vote for Trump.
Trump 2020 baby!@realDonaldTrump will win in 2020, and hes going to do it with the help of millions of Black voters! @TheDailyShow #woke https://t.co/4bXrfW4jF2 pic.twitter.com/QCzuzXxBul Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) November 24,
Bullshit, and you know it.
I'm out, because I already know you'll fight me to the death to be right about your racist post.
Enjoy your bigotry, since there's no price to pay for insulting minorities, here.
There is no price to pay to pay for insulting anyone on this forum.
Should everyone on this forum identify their race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. so Freepers can avoid offending the plethora of minorities?
This forum is full of bigots, misanthropes, misogynists, racists, too name a few of the types. Try calling yourself an atheist and see what happens. Or worse yet a libertarian or free trader.
Impossible to argue with all of them.
Not true. I've seen many Freepers get their FR card yanked over insulting, demeaning posts.
But times have changed. The old zot gun isn't deployed that often these days.
"Plethora of minorities"? On Free Republic? LOL.
The membership here is easily 97% caucasian. Besides myself, I only know of maybe three other blacks who post here.
I know there are also a sprinkling of hispanics, asians, and others here - but altogether, it's only a sprinkle. It's precisely WHY some Freepers feel emboldened enough to post racist memes and such.
I've got a suggestion. How 'bout we just park the racism and bigotry towards ANY other race outside.
Sound good? Well, it should, because that's been the rule at FR since day one.
I agree with you. But I believe much of the crap posted is libs and progs chumming the waters. I know of no true conservatives that are racist. The problem is the FR is getting less conservative.
I think theres too much bickering lately.
Think about what unites us.
Twenty-one years, some Orangeman and I argued about our religions and our ethnic origins and got bounced by Jim. I lurked for awhile then used a new ID. That smartened me some.
Follow Windflier on this. He can smarten us good.
Blacks could be so much more powerful if they didn’t vote like lemmings. Each time all they do, all they do is wind up jumping off the cliff.
Good point. Thanks.
Enjoy your bigotry>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Big your Enjoyotry .
Mama doan allow no trollin’ round heah!
And may there never be punishment for what you define as Big Tree.
Its actually the Tree of Liberty, Free Speech.
I can say things the way I want, especially satire, while you who want everyone to be politically correct , have to have a few conniption fits every time someone says things in a way you dislike? Don’t you wish yourself free of such conniption fits...Free as in freedom?
Your “racis’” bullshit doesn’t cow me one iota.
Piss Off and find another web site to Troll.
Politically correct? No, I simply try help others to improve their basic English skills. It's literally got nothing to do with politics or political correctness.
You sure you're in the right conversation?
Amazing...
