‘What’s happening out there’ with Black men and Trump? (Washington Post worried)
Washington Post ^ | 10/23/2020 | Eugene Scott

In the final presidential debate, President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden argued over who had been better for the Black community, in ways we’ve heard them do before.

Trump attacked Biden’s support for tough on crime policies in the 1990s; Biden called Trump “one of the most racist presidents we’ve had in modern history.”

At one point, Trump offered a retort that got at something that has been cause for no small amount of worry among Democrats and the Biden campaign in the last few weeks.

“Tens of thousands of Black men, mostly, in jail. And you know what? They remember it, because if you look at what’s happening with the voting right now, they remember that you treated them very, very badly. Just take a look at what’s happening out there,” Trump said.

Black voters overwhelmingly back the Democratic Party in presidential elections, more than any other group — especially Black women. But while the large majority of Black men are also voting for the vice president to America’s first Black president, some data shows Trump is on track to perform as well — if not better — with Black male voters this year, compared with 2016. Nearly 1 in 5 Black men approve of the job Trump is doing, according to a recent Gallup survey. And about 10 percent of Black men are leaning toward Trump, according to the latest Pew Research data.

A couple of recent incidents involving celebrities ignited social media uproars and exacerbated worries over this for Democrats last week; hip-hop artist 50 Cent expressed his support for Trump on social media after realizing that as a multimillionaire, he would be taxed at a much higher rate under a Biden administration than if Trump remained in the Oval Office.

And hip-hop artist Ice Cube...

Washington Post, 2008: "Black males show overwhelming support for candidate Obama. Support among all voters keeps rising!"

Washington Post, 2020: "Those n***ers are escaping the plantation. Better set out the dogs on 'em. Boy, when we get 'em back they gonna be wailin' from all the whipping we gonna give 'em!"

Democrats think most minorities are stupid and easily bought with a little rhetoric and some handouts. I remember hearing Hillary say, “I aint no ways tired” and thinking ‘does she really think people are that stupid to buy this charade’?

Lots of reasons, but including the fact that men, regardless of race, who are not pussies tend to identify with alpha males like Trump. It’s why the quarterback got the cutest girls instead of the oboe player.

My daughter came home from work and said her liberal black female coworker said “After watching the debate I have a choice between Biden hiding stuff and Trump loudmouth....I am voting for the loudmouth. My daughter was shocked.

And there you have it Black Liberal Female votes for Trump. There will be MANY others this election and major inroads made in the black vote.

The older black men - I see them in the park when I walk - they’re nice and elegant, friendly. They greet me and they are so … hot.

So 1 in 5 (20%) approve of Trump, but only 10% are leaning toward Trump. According to this; half of the Black men who approve of Trump are leaning toward Biden? This does not make sense.

There are excellent clips of Malcolm X explaining the promises of white liberals to the black community and the excuses why it couldn’t get done.

The Rassmussen Poll from yesterday with 46% black support for Trump is too hard to believe. If that poll were even close to true, since we know Trump’s support from black women is very low, it would mean black men are supporting him by over 50%.

But if I don’t believe the number, I can believe the trend. His black support might really be 20%. In addition, because of Biden’s snotty comment, “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black”, there may be a large group who, even though they can’t bring themselves to pull the lever for Trump, nevertheless may be unwilling to vote Biden. That’s like a half vote for Trump.

Pay no attention to the polls. There are simply people out there who will never tell a pollster they are voting for Trump. How many of these people are out there waits to be seen, but rest assured, they're out there.

This race ia still all about election fraud and just wrapping it up undecided until Pelosi’s House gets to name Hillary.

I believe the statement meant an additional 10% are leaning Trump.

I believe I read somewhere that Trump took 14% of the vote of Black men and less than 4% of the vote of black women in 2016. If only 10% are leaning towards Trump then that's a decrease.

A key exchange during the debate which a lot of people missed was when President Trump brought up the crime bill Biden championed which put thousands of Black men into prison for longer terms based upon the form of cocaine they possessed.
Biden’s comment as the President was talking was, “Oh, God!”
I had already voted for President Trump on Sunday afternoon after Mass, but if I had been thinking of voting for Biden, I would have changed my mind. What a blaphemous mouth on that disciple of Satan! He does not want the truth to be told.

Well said.

Dems allow full rights of speech to black people, as long as they agree with every word of the Dem leaders.
And vote for whomever they decide, but only for Dems at all times.
And speak out for BLM and other causes, but never for pro-Life or congenial talk about things being better with President Trump than all those past decades under Dems had been. Not allowed.

So, enjoy your freedom and stay in line. And keep quiet.
