‘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...

“Pay no attention to the polls. There are simply people out there who will never tell a pollster they are voting for Trump.”

Here is the real reason why the fake news and the fake polls are saying Biden is the sure winner:

The high-information Democrat leaders and fake news pundits know perfectly well that Biden is going to get slaughtered.

They are purposely setting up the low-information Democrats for bitter disappointment.

They want the low-information voters to believe Trump must have somehow stolen the election.

They want to divide the nation even more than it is already.

They are attempting to orchestrate maximum outrage: protests - violence - riots - resistance - impeachment - and hopefully, removal.

They want to justify another four years of nobody cutting President Trump a single break.

What better way to create public outrage, than to build the false expectation of a huge Biden victory?

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

If Trump could get 10% more of the black men (the black women, while I have even been seeing more of those on our team, no chance they change at the same clip), I think that would equate to about an additional 900,000 votes for Trump?

Maybe my math is bad, but I would guess the expected turnout to be around 140 million. Blacks make up 13% of the expected electorate. 10 percent of nine million men would be 900K? That would definately help swing a few states our way.

Looks like both Biden and Harris both have relatives in the family tree involved with the slave trade. Here is an article about Biden. This was from a couple of weeks ago.

Trump has posted the lowest unemployment for blacks in the history of America. You have to wonder why they would like to go back to the good old days with Biden!
