In his speech on Thursday, Mr. Trump said that in his administration every American will be treated equally, protected equally, and honored equally, echoing a pledge he made on Tuesday outside Milwaukee.
During that speech in Wisconsin, he made a direct appeal to African-Americans. He did so again on Thursday, targeting a demographic that makes up about one-third of the population in Charlotte.
If African-American voters give Donald Trump a chance by giving me their vote, the result for them will be amazing, he said.
The crowd, which was almost entirely white, cheered and applauded.

And those cornball okydoky hand gestures right out of a lousy 'how to present like a real bizness man' seminar

(21,160 posts)3. Obviously Cheeto doesn't know about black urban radio
All the black talkers, Joe Madison, Al Sharpton, Karen Hunter and others point out on their shows daily that Cheeto is a racist and they talk about his racist rallies and supporters. That is the reason he has zero support with Black people except for those self hating Oreos who would give anything to become white.
