YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAMERICAblog editor John Aravosis devotes this Facebook Live broadcast to Donald Trump's supposed outreach to the black community. The thing is, Trump isn’t trying to get African-Americans to vote for him, he’s trying to get white people to — and he’s using the black community to do it.
You see, Republicans have this problem where lots of people on the left, and middle, think GOP candidates are racist and intolerant. So, Republicans do big public appeals to blacks in order to woo whites. The intent is for middle of the road white people — the proverbial “soccer mom” — to watch and say: “Gosh, Donald Trump has been talking all week about how much he cares about African-Americans. I guess all that talk of him being an intolerant bigot must be hooey.”
So, in fact, Trump is even more of a bigot, more intolerant, than we thought, as he’s willing to use the black community as a foil to get elected. He’s happy to talk about the issues confronting African-Americans, in order to woo white Americans, while planning on doing absolutely nothing to help the black community were he elected.
Trump’s suggestion that blacks will vote for him is laughable. But it’s not stupid.
