NFL2DF 486 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Not really surprised that there is no thread here since blacks supporting Trump goes against the left narrative. Trump surrounds himself with winners, like Kanye and Jim Brown, 2 of the most successful guys in history in their respective fields, and the media hates it. CNN called Kanye a "Token Negro" who doesn't read on live tv yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhaQS5AXdcE It terrifies the Dems when a successful black person expresses conservative ideas or support for Trump. If they lose 25% of blacks they will never win another presidential election. Maybe this explains why they have been pushing so hard for illegals, but I digress. In general black support of Trump has doubled since the election. After Trump takes action on an issue that Obama never even acknowledged (the war zone that is South Side Chicago) I predict black support jumps another 10%. It will be interesting to see how the media (and people here) handle this. Do they continue with their politics of hate and division that we have seen 24/7 since 11/9/2016? Or do they finally set aside their pettiness and start rooting for what is good for the people of this country? This can be a thread for news about what Trump is doing for the black community, blacks who support Trump, and all of the good/bad media coverage. Also, I will go on record now and predict that Trump wins 30%+ of the black vote in 2020. Edited October 11, 2018 by NFL2DF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toshiba 1,649 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 I am not so ignorant or racist that I think all black people vote the same way. I also believe people like Ye and Jim Brown have every right to support anyone who they wish. Not sure what this thread is really about maybe it is about an individual supporting the president. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TobiasFunke 26,608 Report post Posted October 11, 2018 I have nothing to add to this but I just wanna this thread because it's amazing. Normally I would assume people saying they think the black community is gonna swing to Trump are just trolling. But three years ago I assumed that the people who claimed they genuinely supported Trump for President were just trolling, so it's pretty clear that I've been wildly overestimating a large segment of the American public for quite some time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNN's been a lot worse than that on this one- they made light of his mental health problems, too. Gross and inexcusable. Thankfully CNN is not a political party. I don't ever have to worry about endorsing and furthering their bigotry, insensitivity and casual cruelty when I vote. Can you say the same about the people you vote for?

They think Kanye is an uneducated idiot with nothing of substance to offer on things like national security which is what he and Trump are allegedly discussing. They just used an old Chris Rock joke to say it. And they think he is allowing himself to be used to stir up contorversy so he can sell some more records.Personally I would have said it like I did but to each his own.
