Donald Trump to African Americans -"What the hell do you have to lose ? "

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of my African American brothers and sisters on this board.

Thank you in advance.

1. Tell Donald Trump

Everything!

[Matthew28]

2. Everything

Liberterianism that has taken over the party would end up turning this whole nation into Kansas.
-No more educational funding
-No more safetynet
-No more infrastructure funding

It would be ugly.

3. Here are my thoughts...Trump is a proven racist

and leopards do not change their spots..

[Old and In the Way]

4. IF Trump was sincere and this happens (it isn't and won't).

He would lose 75% of his racist base. Sad.

[timlot]

5. That pretty much what would have to happen.

Republicans love to talk about the "old republican party" of Lincoln freeing slaves and the Democratic party being the party of KKK. Yet they fell to mention that when LBJ started embracing civil rights those racist "democrats" who were against it were welcomed with open arms into the Goldwater republican party.

Even conservative black people know the racist white people 9 out of 10 are in the republican party. Yet because they either have a little money or some other self hating notion prescribe to republican ideology.

6. Donald Trump is a textbook racist if there ever was one, a well-documented history of words and deed

[left-of-center2012]

7. His appeal is in front of an all white crowd

Watching him now, giving a speech in which he's appealing for the African-American vote, but everyone there is white.
If he wants the A.A. vote, why doesn't he go to Harlem?

But MSNBC and CNN is very excited about this "pivot" and how it could turn things around for Trump.

Seriously?

8. who does this racist POS think he's fooling! ...

[baldguy]

9. .

[timlot]

10. Plain and simple. The racist are at home in the Republican party.

Not to say there are none in the democratic party. They just aren't as comfortable.

11. Oy. Does he think we're stupid or something?

That we've all forgotten birtherism, his discriminatory housing practices in the 70s, his frequent re-tweeting of white nationalists and their phony crime statistics, and pretty much everything he's said and done since he's started his presidential campaign?
