2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhite People LOVE Trump's Speech to Blacks
Yesterday, Donald Trump went to a rural white community, stood in front of an all-white audience, and addressed the nations disaffected African Americans. Today, white people all over the Internet are hailing the speech as the greatest advance in race relations since Vanilla Ice smashed the color barrier in rap music.
....
Now some people might be resentful that Trump is being recognized as a genius when he read this speech off a teleprompter. After all, when the black guy does that, its lampooned as idiocy. But other than that, the speech was oratory gold. Just ask the The Whites of Free Republic. Theyll tell you that not only was this speech Reaganesque, but it was just what black people need to hear.
Trump hit it out of the park, on EVERY topic, spot on. Jane Long
OUTSTANDING!!! The Youtube link needs to be copied and given to EVERY democrat voter you know, every low income, innercity black and poor person. Tell them, dont say NOTHIN bout NOTHIN cause you dont know NOTHIN until you listen to this here. mublypeg
We truly have not heard an American leader speak this way since Reagan. I feel uplifted and hopeful just reading it. Did you catch how strongly he reached out to minority voters? Im almost afraid to watch the video, for fear Id break down and bawl like a kid. Windflier
I am passing this link to my black friends. Have had many conversations with The community. I am convinced Trump will get a HUGE part of their votes. Several have told me the same thing: They dont even talk about Trump much in their neighborhoods and families because they get shouted down. But they will speak in the voting booth.

... his audience was the FreeRepublic.
... and the dopes in the media who will fail to notice that we wasn't anywhere near an African American neighborhood when he made this speech.

Freepers love Trump's speech to Blacks may be a better title. I'm white and I didn't love Trump's speech to blacks at all.

that is what the poster meant.

(6,537 posts)9. Not what he said, however.
And he should have been more specific if that was his intent.

That speech made my blood run cold. Couple that with what Amarosa said about his critics having to "bow down" to Pres. Trump and what you get is a reign that would make Hitler look like a Sunday School teacher.
