Exactly. Examine what his base thinks of the black community and that's how he will govern and that's how he has been governning. His next four years will be about "law and order". Basically he's going to advocate for overpolicing black communties. Out of all candidates @Space Ghost you know Trump is the most egregious at pandering( 2 Corinthians).
It's hilarious how the architect of the Obama in a limo doing crack and having gay sex thread now wants to know what Biden did for the black community and the only reason you care if because there's an election coming up and any ability to syphon off votes from Biden helps the white supremacist gain another term in office. NSFW -- Obama's Drug Use and Limo Ride To your point, I think Biden is a bobo and a schmo whose legislative history is at best unimpressive to me as a progressive. But there's a reason why Republicans lose the black vote by 80 freaking points every election. They collectively stand in the way of all progress for black people whether it's in education, in policing, in the economy, in tax policy, and at the ballot box. Despite all of this Republicans refer to black people as part of plantation politics and insult the intelligence of black people regularly. What black people do remarkably well is vote their own economic interests unlike poor white people. As we all know, Republican philosophy is diametrically opposed to the interests of the poor. So if Republicans want to win the black vote they can begin to address their economic and educational interests with things other than tax breaks and charter schools and don't wait until 2 months before the election to do it.
He will likely promise legalization 2 week before the election if he’s still behind in the polls too.
Smart pandering by trump. He doesn't need to swing the black vote much to win. He has already done more for this community than the gentleman from Chicago. Dont @ me.
im trying to envision a rubberless church state where we can smoke weed. sounds a bit like a david koresh style utopia...maybe i should rethink my nz asylum plans
Sure seems like white Trump supporters love to tell black people how much Trump has done for them every time a thread like this is brought up. You'd think there would be more black voices that speak up about their personal prosperity instead thanks to this administration, but nope, it's the same 4 or 5 white Trump supporters that say it instead. I mean go share with me a Youtube video or Twitter feed of a black Trump supporter "telling it like it is" to justify the same boring generic responses you guys give. It's really convincing.
LOL. You mean the same plan, with a few additions he offered in 2016? Doesn't mention police reform. Trump is a ****ing JOKE. This BS has NO SHOT of ever being implemented. He didn't do much in the 4 years he had, won't do **** if has another.
Yeah right... We's running to the polls now.. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vo...5/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history Trump has a long history of racist controversies Here’s a breakdown of Trump’s history, taken largely from Dara Lind’s list for Vox and an op-ed by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times: 1973: The US Department of Justice — under the Nixon administration, out of all administrations — sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act. Federal officials found evidence that Trump had refused to rent to Black tenants and lied to Black applicants about whether apartments were available, among other accusations. Trump said the federal government was trying to get him to rent to welfare recipients. In the aftermath, he signed an agreement in 1975 agreeing not to discriminate to renters of color without admitting to previous discrimination. 1980s: Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump’s Castle, accused another one of Trump’s businesses of discrimination. “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor,” Brown said. “It was the eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: They put us all in the back.” 1989: In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four Black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary. 1991: A book by John O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump’s criticism of a Black accountant: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump later said in a 1997 Playboy interview that “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true.” 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred Black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices. 1993: In congressional testimony, Trump said that some Native American reservations operating casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.” 2000: In opposition to a casino proposed by the St. Regis Mohawk tribe, which he saw as a financial threat to his casinos in Atlantic City, Trump secretly ran a series of ads suggesting the tribe had a “record of criminal activity [that] is well documented.” 2004: In season two of The Apprentice, Trump fired Kevin Allen, a Black contestant, for being overeducated. “You’re an unbelievably talented guy in terms of education, and you haven’t done anything,” Trump said on the show. “At some point you have to say, ‘That’s enough.’” 2005: Trump publicly pitched what was essentially The Apprentice: White People vs. Black People. He said he “wasn’t particularly happy” with the most recent season of his show, so he was considering “an idea that is fairly controversial — creating a team of successful African Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world.” 2010: In 2010, there was a huge national controversy over the “Ground Zero Mosque” — a proposal to build a Muslim community center in Lower Manhattan, near the site of the 9/11 attacks. Trump opposed the project, calling it “insensitive,” and offered to buy out one of the investors in the project. On The Late Show With David Letterman, Trump argued, referring to Muslims, “Well, somebody’s blowing us up. Somebody’s blowing up buildings, and somebody’s doing lots of bad stuff.” 2011: Trump played a big role in pushing false rumors that Obama — the country’s first Black president — was not born in the US. He claimed to send investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama’s birth certificate. Obama later released his birth certificate, calling Trump a “carnival barker.” The research has found a strong correlation between birtherism, as the conspiracy theory is called, and racism. But Trump has reportedly continued pushing this conspiracy theory in private. 2011: While Trump suggested that Obama wasn’t born in the US, he also argued that maybe Obama wasn’t a good enough student to have gotten into Columbia or Harvard Law School, and demanded Obama release his university transcripts. Trump claimed, “I heard he was a terrible student. Terrible. How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?” T_Man
Exactly! The only promises Trump keeps are the ones that make him richer. All he really cares about is grifting off the government, and hiring felons to cover his butt while doing it.
The guys who still defend Trump on racism obviously don't really know him at all. Or, they do and they love it!! Trump's racism has gone back for decades!!
I think we can all agree that there should be some systemic way to actually hold people accountable for "promises". Trump isn't the first president to bait and switch like this.
